Politics Of Brainstorm Variety Rend

COLTMBt-S, Ohio. November ii
While the race for United States senator
from Ohio still has the center OF the po
liticaI stage. there have been other acts
in the political entertainment this week
which help to attract attention to the
Buckeye state.
The hurried visit of the esident-elect
w H. Taft. from Washington to Cincin-
natl was one of the early happenings of
the week When the rumor was given
out that he was hurrying back on ac-
count of the statement given out by Sen
ator Foraker there were many who ex-
pected something from his brother. c. P.
Taft regarding his political ambitions
But President-elect Taft as he passed
through Columbus denied in emphatic
terms that his coming had anything to
do with the political hopes OF his brother.
The one real significant thing about the
trip was the arrival home from the east
of George Il. Cox of Cincinnati on the
same train that carried the President
elect. No one who knows anything
about politics in Ohio will deny that a

or rather a caucus of the newly elected
members has been called off. The cam
paign managers found that many new
members were not yet ready to declare
themselves. wanting time to study the
situation, and would prefer to caucus
when they arrive in the city to- attend
the special session.
During the past week at least four
more candidates have entered the race.
Now, with more than eleven candidates
for the toga of Foraker. it means that
no one will be elected early in the SEES
sion, even if they succeed in uniting on d
candidate before the term of Foraker
expires in March.
Each candidate will, for time at least.
have the support of the representative
from his own county. Peculiarly enough.
in every case the member is a republl-
can, which illustrates how badly the vote
will be split and how far from harmony
it will be when the votes are cast.
Big Battle Pending.
1t would all indicate that Ohio will be
the battle ground for one of the greatest
political campaigns that has been wagcd
for many years and recalls the sena-
torial campaigns of the late Senators
Brice, Sherman and Payne, when charges
and countercharges We're filed and cleo
ton was made only after bitter contest.
The democrats were almost scared out
of their boots this week when the an
nouncement was made that a mistake of
over 1000 votes was found in the re-
turns from Cuyahoga county in the vote
Of G. e. Green. republican candidate for
state treasurer. and the vote of u. 5.
Dreamer, the democratic candidate.
Dreamer was declared elected several
days ago. Returns have been slow in
coming in. Even yet. more than two
weeks after election, three of the largest
counties in the state have not reported
Dreamer. who was out hunting, was
hurriedly called to Cleveland. where he
gave the matter his personal attention
Now it is claimed to be all over, and that
he has a plurality of about 5000 But
he has not been content with that and
hurried to Cincinnati. where he will re-
main until the returns are sent in to the
state secretary.
Although Green was defeated for state
treasurer, he now holds that office, hav-
ing been appointed by Gov. Harris TO
fill the unexpired term caused by the
death of w. S. Mckinnen. the late state
treasurer. Green will serve until January
IL, when he will step out with Gov
Harris.
About the time the mistake was found
in Cuyahoga county it was claimed that
even should Green be elected he would
have a contest to face before permitted

Nearly six months ago he declared his
loyalty to Taft. Harris and Foraker, for
President, governor and senator respect
lively. He has never as yet changed this
pronouncement.
Why Taft Holds Back.
That is what is holding back C. p.
Taft. If Cox supports his cause he will
enter the race. With the support of the
Hamilton county delegation he will be in
a position to be elected without much
trouble
Buff he fails TO get his own delega-
ton. in spite of the fact that he will
have the state organization back of him,
in spite of the fact that he is brother
OF the next President of the United
States-he would have his troubles in
landing the toga.
On the other hand. should Foraker
come to Columbus with the Hamilton
county delegation he will be a factor that
stages OF the contest. And no one will
deny that what George B. Cox says in
the premises will have much to do with
the way the members-elect will vote in
the matter.
Few of them. if any. but what owe
their nomination and election to Cox
They would hardly dare go against his
wishes in this matter If they SO desired.
ana mere comes Another run. COX MINI
self may be candidate.
He has received much attention from
the country press of the state. He may
support Foraker to show his disapproval
of Taft. Then, again, if Foraker sees
he cannot land he may throw his sup
port to Cox.
What Cox Said to W. n. Taft
If Cox and Taft held a consultation on
the train this week. which 1t is believed
they did. the result OF that conference
has not been given out. 1t is rumored
that efforts to solicit the support Of Cox
to the candidacy of Taft were without
avail
1t is also said that Cox declared he
wanted TO have talk with Foraker be-
fore declaring himself: that he had prom
Used Foraker his support. and would not
go back on his word just because Hearst
had made charges of his connection with
the Standard Oil Company.
All this is important at this time. 1t
shows that Foraker in entering the race,
had some guarantee OF the support OF
! his old-time friend before he made the
formal announcement that he would seek
another term.
