It is said that no slate will be prepared

congressman Conniving.
Some Of the republican congressman
are conniving to have a more or less
direct Endorsement Of Senators Foraker
and Dick made by the convention. They
are cognizant of the fact that the two
senators will remain in Office for several
years yet. and that their friendship will
zoe valuable in the distribution of patron
age. Realizing that the committee on
resolutions will probably oppose it, sug-
gestions have been made that such res
olution be proposed from the floor of the
convention. The temper Of the convention
will be carefully sounded before such an
attempt is made.
This will be no Dayton convention"
one representative said last night. He
alluded to the fact that while the Dayton
convention Endorsed President Roosevelt,

ing. with equal cordially, the work Of
the two Ohio senator's. who had, for the

Vorys is uncertain as to what course
to pursue. He is not fighter, or If he

position Of Senators Dick and Foraker.
His organization has opposed them be-
cause they were against Secretary Taft's
nomination. Now that so far as Ohio is
concerned. Taft will be supported, he does
not wish to carry the fight any further.
He would even like to have the conven-
ton say good word for the senator's,
but. knowing that the convention will be
made up of delegates hostile to the sena-
tors. he does not know how to go safely
ABOUT making even covert Endorsement.
For Revision Of the Tariff.
The draft of the republican state plat
form as 1t has been drawn declares in
favor of immediate revision of the tariff
by the republicans in a special session
of Congress 1t urges such changes in
the currency laws as the development
OF the business has made necessary
1t does not indOrse any currency reform
proposition. The plank indorsing the
administration of President Roosevelt
declares specifically against any reac-
tionary movement from those admins
tratiye policies t.- -,
The Rose local option law just passed
by the legislature is not. specifically in
dorsed. but-the principle of local option
Is Endorsed
The amendment of the Constitution
the classification of property
for taxation is Endorsed.
The platform will be short-rhe short
