Cincinnati, O., Sept. Am an ex-
planatory statement, which was a COM
prehensive denial, Senator Foraker
Thursday disposed of story published
in the Toledo Times Thursday
morning giving what purported
to be an authorized state
ment, from him, to the effect that
no peace was made between Mr.. Taft
and himself at their meeting at Toledo
Wednesday. Further, the story said
that the senator was opposed to the
policies of Roosevelt because they
were those of Bryan, and, last, that
he felt insulted because he was not
invited to speak at Youngstown, Sep
TENDER 5, when the Ohio campaign will
be opened.
Calls Statement Misleading.
As soon as Senator Foraker reached
his home the substance Of the above
rA~ tn
once made the following statement:
"The statement published in the
Toledo Times as you report 1t to me
is grossly misleading. The only basis
for any such statement that I can re-
call is this: AS was leaving the hotel
to take the train for Cincinnati last
evening a gentleman introduced him.
self to me and told me he represent
ed the Toledo Times and that the AS
ISOLATED Press was sending out long
story-some 1000 words, as I now re-
member his statement-giving an &C
count of an agreement that had been
entered into as a basis for peace be-
tween Judge Taft and myself and he
wanted me to give him my version OF
the matter.
Tells Just What Took Place.
IT told him there had been no agree.
ment of any kind, either made or sug-
gested; that there was no trouble be,
tween Judge Taft and myself; that the
trouble so much talked about in the
newspapers was manufactured, that
had not made, at any time, any re-
quest of Judge Taft and he had not
made any of me; that we had met on
the reviewing stand at the public meet
ing which we both addressed; that our
conversation on the reviewing stand
was only social and that which would
be naturally suggested by the charac
ter of the occasion; that at the pub
lie meeting we had had no private
conversation and what we had said al
the public meeting spoke for itself
that is all there was of it. l babe him
good evening and went to the train.
II wish there could be some way
found to stop the publishing of these
misunderstanding reports"
