SPLIT BETWEEN

0hioan Plans a Hard Fight
Against the President

New York, Dec. 17.-Charles P.
Taft will have to fight hard to be
elected United States senator from
Ohio, if Theodore Burton can add to
the obstacles in the patch of the Gin
cinnati editor
The announcement was made last
night that the offer of cabinet port
folio, made to Mr.. Burton by the presi-
dent-elect, had been withdrawn, def
nitely for all time. Behind this SIM
pie statement lies a story from Wash
ington-and credited by the knowing
ones-of a serious breach between the
newly elected chief executive and the
congressman from Cleveland.
Everyone knows that Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Burton met in Washington last
Saturday After their conference
neither would discuss what passed be-
tween them. Mr.. Burton hurried back
to Ohio and reports from that state
show he lost no time in getting to
work
Burton Men" Get Busy.
Burton men," the reports say, are
out in every bailiwick in Buckeyeland,
and when the Ohio legislature meets
to elect a successor to Mr.. Foraker
some surprising things may come to
pass.
Brother Charles who was in New
York for the purpose solely of attend
ing the Ohio society banquet last
night, did not seem frightened by con
ditions in Ohio.
After a conference of republican
leaders last night, at which the Bur

favorable"
The president-elect's brother ap

| the days developments, and fairly
| dubbed over with good humor. AS tc
the leaders who attended the confer
ence, the senatorial candidate said:
They came on for the dinner of the
Ohio society last night and to tall

If the citizens of Central and

be more generous with their finan-
