FORAKER HANDS
TAFT A LEMON
BUT IT is COUPLED WITH A NICE
BOQUET AND LOSES
STING.

CINCINNATI, O., July 1.-Praise
for the personality of William H. Taft
Republican nominee for President
and criticism for him in that he favors
I the Roosevelt policies, formed part of
speech delivered today by United
States Senator Foraker before the
Chamber of Commerce in this city.
The occasion was what has been
termed unemployment or sunshine
day, in accordance with the idea of
the informal association that has been
organized for the purpose of bringing
about better times by striving to for
get that there had been any other
kind, and the Chamber of Commerce,
through President Thomas Egan, in
vited the Senator to speak on the sub.
ject. He rather criticised the idea
Of the Sunshine League, but said that
It might be possible that some good |
would come from it. He declared that
he business depression had been |
caused by the Sherman antitrust law
md the Hepburn railway rate law and
hat it was being continued by the
'romise of tart revision.
In speaking of the future he re-
erred to Mr.. Taft as imam who in
haracter is all that could be de
ired," and he was thereupon inter-
upted by cheers
but unfortunately there there is
ne fatal weakness in the candidate
| that he favors a continuance Of the
'-called Roosevelt policies of which
e have already had far too much"

The arrival today however. of the
personal Representatives of Iujga
Gray and Gov. Johnson, the only can.
didates who are now expected TO enter
the race against Mr.. Bryan, has failed
to disclose any common ground Of
agreement between them.
The Gray managers asserted that
they had no intention of entering into
the coalition with the followers If
Gov. Johnson, and had not received
from them, or made to them, any over.
lures for a combination. The same
of desire to pool issues
was made by the Johnson people after
their arrival tonight. They said that
they had no object in view but the
nomination of Gov. Johnson, and IN.
Tended to make their fight for that
purpose only.
This attitude which the Gray and
Johnson people have assumed has led
o considerable conjecture of a Vice
Presidential character The follow.
