Columbus, o., Dec. 24--Congress

that he and the other senatorial candi
dates appear before the legislature and

can caucus which G. p. Taft, Burton.
leading opponent for the senatorship
has been insisting upon. The proposal
followed a statement given out Wed
nesday morning by Taft in which he
pointed out the advisability of the Re.
publicans agreeing upon q nominee in
their own caucus. Speaking of pub.
lished reports concerning an alliance
with Senator Dick, whereby Dick
would be given the support of the state
Republican organization two years
from now, Taft said he had no knowl.
edge concerning such q matter
Republican State Chairman Brown,
as an emissary from the Taft people,
on Wednesday conferred with Mr.. Bur.
ton in an effort to have 1t understood
that 46, majority Of the full Republi.
can strength in the legislature, should
determine the caucus nominee, not
merely a majority of those who were
present at the caucus.
Harry NJ. Daugherty of this city, re.
garded as one Of the candidtes, on
Wednesday night announced he would
not run. He had intended doing so,
but after reflection had changed his
mind. Foraker and Taft on Wednes.
day returned to their homes at Gin.

Columbus, o., Dec. 24.-Printing OF
state reports, an old problem. will

With all his precautions he seems
to have been painfully disappointed
with the result. Even in Venezuela
he didn't think he could get away
with that Plaza Boliver hurrah as a
real revolution. This explains his
subsequent discovery of a cafe plot,
his heroic rushing about Caracas
with a drawn revolver, and his per-

uniforms. vincente Gomez is an old
bachelor, and hs is sensitive. about
feminine ridiehle
Having aided these frills of his
own, desccfbed in yesterdays cables
to the Roosevelt revolution, Gen.
Gomez felt satisfied with the result
and 9Rbled the state department that
the whole business is a fair ac.

hAs got what was coming to him,
And so has Gen. Gomez. AS stated,
however, President Roosevelt had
not wanted for the fair part of it.,
but had started his ships at the
very first college yell.
The Rooseveit-Castro field is an
old one. Castro was playing with a
box of matches in the Monroe doc
trine powder magazine when Pres
ident Roosevelt took charge of the
United States. Through Minister
Herbert Bowen, then at Caracas,
he offered to take charge Of Vene-
zuela as we'll President Castro had
to stand for it, at the time, because
German, British and Italian war
ships were shooting In his front
door.
Once President Roosevelt pried
them off the Venezuelan doorstep,
however, President Castro declined
to take further notice or interest.
He knew that foreign powers so
diverted looked to President Roose-
welt to collect their claims for them
and President Castro, in his amiabic
Latin way, said. "Let him collect
EN-" Just to add interest to the
proceedings, he conflscated the as
phalt trust concession at about this
time.
Since the day of Bowen Castro
has spent his time squeezing Vene-
zuela. He made practically all In
dustries government monopolies and
seauestered the profits. He broke off
diplomatic relations with almost
everybody.
President Roosevelt wanted TO
carry out frequent threats to take
Castro personally in hand just be-
fore the last election, but he was
dissuaded because 1t was just before
the last election. Castro understood
that perfectly well. Finally Holland
was elected by unanimous consent
to do the spanking Meanwhile the
election over, the Roosevelt revolu-
ton was planned. 1t was then that
wise MIR. Castro skipped.

Chopping off his letter of credit is a

IL is Mr.. Castro's turn for a holi-
day. From the record he made at
home he is expected to paint Paris

of vivid colors known.
Meanwhile President Gomez, ap"
pointed by President Roosevelt, can
struggle to meet pledges made by
President Roosevelt to foreign ma
tions out of an empty Venezuelan
treasury.
