SENATOR FORAKER PLEDGES
SUPPORT TO THE PARTY CAN
DIDATE-TAFT ON CAMPAIGN
ISSUE.

Toledo, o. Sept. 3.-That Taft
and Foraker are politically toget1-
er is not only the public admission
Of both Taft and Foraker here to-
day. but also the political sensation
of Ohio. Senator Foraker is an
avowed candidate for the United
States senate TO succeed himself,
and his services in the national
campaign have been sought by ma
tional Chairman Hitchcock, and the
senator has promised to take the
stump.
At a dinner given here last night
by Carries r. Lewis tere were pres
ent Senator Foraker, General Hen
ry c. Corbin, and representative J.
Warren Keifer. of Ohio. This din
ner resulted in an invitation TO Sen
ator Foraker 90 remain I'm this city
and attend both the review Of the
parade OF the G. A. r., in the stand.
with Judge Taft, and also the re-
ception 10 be given later by the
Lincoln Republican Club.
Judge Taft left Middle Bass ISL
and at half after six o'clock this
morning on small power yacht.
and after a tempestuous voyage of
four hours, reached Toledo. He
was taken in an automobile direct

Senator Foraker was the last Of
the little party 90 reach Judge

PROHIBITION
TEXAS ISSUE

Dallas. Tex, Sept. Sweeping
into the homestretch under whip
and spur, the Democratic donkey
and the Republican elephant are
contesting for victory in the great
est political race that Texas has wit
messed In years. For the first time
the elephant sees a chance OF vic
tory and is making the race OF his
life. Handicapped by n prohibition
plank and confused by the discord
OF his trainers, the donkey is find
ing the track a heavy one. If he
wins, II will not be in a walk, as IN
former years. For the first time
the long-eared animal is confronted
with the necessity OF running a real
race.
The adoption by the Democratic
convention OF plank providing for
the submission OF the statewide
prohibition issue TO n vote OF the
people gave the Republicans their
opportunity Heretofore the Texas
Republican party could almost be
counted on the fingers and toes OF
any normal human being. The
Democratic split over Senator Pai-
ley's retention In the senate created
many Republican votes over night.
Now that the Republican party has
gone on record as opposed TO prohi-
b.tion. and has nominated Colonel
John w. Simpson, OF Dallas, n Con-
federate veteran, as ITS candidate
for governor. the organization has
assumed respectable proportions. All
the "wets" OF the state have hocksd
10 the Republican standard az ha
ven OF refuge from the dry" reg
ime Of the Democracy.
The Democrats believe however.
that they have a trump card In
their platform indorsemut of a guar
anty Of bank deposits Jaw. such as
has been successfully tried out in
Oklahoma. The Republican state
platform opposes this measure.
which is highly popular among the
rank and file Of Texans
Any doubt as 10 the success Of
thcDemocratic party in The STATE
elections does not extend to the ma
tional ticket. While there is some
enthusiasm for Taft in the larger
cities. especially among he business
men. 70 is likely that Bryan's major
ity will be fully as large as in for
mar years. The few party leaders
who opposed the nomination OF the
Nebraskan are now back 'n the fold
Interest in the national election IS
overshadowed by state issu g, with
the bitter fight for and against pro-
hibition the greatest issIo Of all.

HOMICIDE At
KEYSTONE
DIR. II. HOWARD SAVERS KILL
ED by WESLEY WILKES.

Today while No. was standing
at Keystone station DR.. IL. Howard
Sayers, of Nortafork, was shot and
killed by Wesley w. wilkes. OF this
city. 1t is understoon that there
had been some previous trouble be-
tween the men, AMI when they met
on the train DR.. Sayers attacked
Wilkes. and caught him by the
throat with one hand while he beat
him in the face with the other.
While in this position Wilkes
managed to get his grip open and
secured a revolver with which he
shot DR.. Sayers three times, death
resulting in about ten minutes.
Wilkes was taken from the train
ami locked up At Keystone. but 1t
is the prevailing opinion that he
will be acquitted.
This unfortunate occurrence is
greatly to be deplored. Both men
have many warm friends through
out the coai fields and m Virginia,
Wilkes being native of Bedfor
and Sayers of Wythe.
Wilkes is son-.n-law OF Col.
David c. LILLY, OF this city and has
an interesting young family.
Dr. Sayers was unmarried. He
belonged to one OF the most prom
inent and highly respectable fami-
lies in the OH Dominion and ac-
cord.ng to our best information was
a son Of DR.. Sayers, of Wytheville
one of the most prominent ply
slcians OF Southwest Virginia.
