early caller William H Taft to-day, and had
half an hours chat with the candidate. The
| Senator said afterward that he had merely
called TO pay his respects and 10 talk over the
political situation in a general way. Mr.. Taft.
when asked about Mr. Forakers visit, said that
there no particular significance in the Sen
ator's call. and that they had discussed the po-
Htical situation in several states. THE Senator
said he wanted to do all he could to insure Re
publican victory, and that whenever I needed
him could call on him. said Mr. Taft.
What do you hear from New York?' Senator
Foraker asked the Tribune's correspondent after
leaving Mr.. Taft. He was told that the indica-
tions all pointed to the nomination of Governor
Eughes.
II am glad of that" said the Senator Il sup
posed they would renominate4 Mr.. Hughes and
sfa-I certainly would not like to he put n the
attitude of telling the New York Republican
leaders what they should DO. I am convinced
that the denomination of the Governor will have
! a beneficial effect throughout the country.
There is doubt that Mr.. Hughes is held in
very high esteem in Ohio and in other states in
this part of the country He has been a good
Governor has made a record that is creditable
TO his party, and the failure to nominate him
again would be hard to explain
Apropos of the situation in Ohio the Senator
said: 'Of course. Ohio will go Republican. and

never do that. But there is no doubt in my
mind that the state will be found in the Re
publican column November A. The Senator
has enjoyed much needed rest since Congress
adjourned, and is in much better health than at
the end of the session.
FORAKER DENIES TOLEDO STORY
Senator Foraker said emphatlcally that there
truth in the account of the dinner given
by c. T. Lewis, of Toledo. which was furnished
to the press and in which he put in the
attitude of demanding that Mr. Taft should
support no particular candidate for the Senate
as the price of his declaring himself for Mr..
Taft
1T is Incredible how any of the men present
at that dinner could have conceived such an
idea" said the Senator. Il made demand
whatever, and should have spoken precisely
I did at the Lincoln Club reception if had
never met Of them. I am a Republican,
and I purpose to support the party nominee
and have always intended to do so, and never
ha and never will make any demands in re-
turn for my loyalty to the Republican party"
A frantic effort is being made by the Demo-
cratic press Of this state 10 create a sensation
Of the fact that the Republican organization
of Hamilton County has appointed a committee
consisting OF George b. Cox, August Hermann
and r. X. Hynicka 10 cooperate with Mr.. Taft
in the conduct of the campaign in his home
county. Until the opposition press has
been working energeticaIIy to create the i'm
preston that the local organization was dis
loyal to Mr. Taft and that because of his Akron
speech, Cox was inimical 10 the success of the
national ticket in this county In order TO set
such reoorts at rest and -isprove the charge of
disloyalty, the local organization appointed this
committee to serve the candidate in any manner
that he or his managers might indicate, and
the Democratic papers are shouting that
Cox insults Taft"
SO-CALLED INSULT HELPFUL
OF course there is no reason TO expect that the
Presidential candidate will enter into the details
of the county campaign. but IL is by no means
unlikely that at times during the campaign his
managers may find it necessary to look to the
county organization for assistance such. for in
stance, calling out the Blaine Marching Club,
which made such a fine appearance at the Chi
cago convention, and on Election Day it will fall
70 the county organization TO that the Re
publican vote is brought out. Under such cir
cumstances it will be convenience TO the Taft
to have a small committee with au-
thority to act deal with instead Of having to
negotiate with the entire county committee OF
four hundred members. That is all there is 10
the latest Democratic sensation in Hamilton
County.
Mr. Taft spent busy day at his headquarters
up 10 ; O'Clock p. m, when he attended the
funeral of John J. Emery, who died recently at
Bar Harbor, and who buried from Christ
Church here this afternoon. Mr.. Emery was
one of the oldest residents OF Cincinnati. and
was a longtime friend OF the Taft family.
w. S Taylor, of Philadelphia president of the
Ohio society OF that city, called on MIR. Tafl
to-day to remind him of the invitation extended
