PEACE COMPACT
WAS NOT NEEDED
Because They Haven't Had Any
thing to Fight About Foraker
May Take the Stump In Var
ious States This Fall and
Help Elect Taft.

Cincinnati. Sept. S.-In a compre-
hensive denial senator Foraker today
disposed of the story published iu the
Toledo Times this morning giving
what purported to be an authorized
statement from him to the effect that
there had been no peace compact be-
tween himself and Judge Taft. That
President Roosevelt had adopted the
policies of Mr.. Bryan and between
the two he preferred the genuine to
the initiation. That the only difference
between the Democrats and the Re-
publicans was that the Republicans
favored tariff revision after March 4
and the Democrats favored the inn
mediate revision and that he believed
in immediate revision.
"The statement of the Toledo
Times" said the senator today, sis
grossly misleading. / told the report
er of the Times that there has been
no agreement of any kind either
made or suggested.
"That there was no trouble between
Judge Taft and myself. That l had
not made any request of Judge Taft
and that he had not made any OF
me. That our conversation yesterday
was only social and that which would
naturally be suggested by the char
acter of the occasion. i wish there
could he same wsy found To stop tae
publication of these mischief mailing
reports"
Sen. Foraker and Judge Taft met
during the G.. A. r. parade yesterday
and talked together for more than an
hour, discussing various phases oi
the national campaign. They met
again later and apparently there
never has been any differences exist
ing between them.
Senator Foraker has been invited
by Chairman Hitchcock to open the
campaign in Kansas, but has not yet
signified whether he will accept 1t Is
said that many demands for Foraker
have been made on the national COM
mittee and it is probable that If he
can be induced to do so he will make
a number of speeches throughout the
country this fall.
Senator Foraker in a short speech
yesterday said:
"Under the circumstances l hope
may be pardoned If 1 say here In his
presence-the first time | have ever
had an opportunity-that there has
never as far as l know, been the
slightest of i'll feeling between Mr.
Taft and myself II there had yot
could not lose me that way. II therf
Is anything l have a right to claim
il is the fact that l am Republican
3G5 days in the year. l have my pref
erences sometimes as to who should
receive the honors of the party and
everybody generally finds out wha
they are, but / am one of those ole
fashioned Republicans who settles
every such question at the conyen
ton. When the Chicago convention
nominated Judge Taft to be the Re-
publican candidate for the presidency
this year, that instant he became my
leader He has been my leader evei
since. and he win be my leader until
the polls close on the night OF the
election"
Senator Foraker then turned hi
attention to the Issues. His conclu
sion was that the great issue would
be "whether the administration oi
public affairs in this country shall b'
turned over to the Democratic party
with Mr.. Bryan at Its head, or shai
be continued in the hands OF the Re'
publican party"
