FORAKER DENIES 1T.
Story in a Toledo Paper That He Has
Turned Democrat.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 3.-In an ex-
planatory statement which was
comprehensive denial. Senator For
aker today disposed of a story pub
lished in the Toledo Times of this
morning, giving what purported to be
an authorized statement from him.
AS soon as he reached his home the
substance of the story was repeated
to the senator and the senator at once
made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
1.-The statement published in the
Toledo Times as you report it to me
is grossly misleading. The only basis
for any such statement that 1 can re-
call is this: AS I was leaving the
hotel to take the train for Cincinnati
last evening, a gentleman introduced
himself to me and told me he repre-
scented the Toledo Times and that the
Associated Press was sending out a
long story some 1000 words as 1 now
remember his statement, giving an ac-
count of an agreement that had been
entered into as a basis for peace be-
tween Judge Taft and myself and he
wanted me to give him my version of
the affair.
"I told him there had been no
agreement of any kind neither made
or suggested; that there was no
trouble between Judge Taft and my
self; that the trouble so much talked
about in the newspapers was manu-
featured: that l had not made. at
any time any request of Mr.. Taft and
he had not made any of me; that we
had met on the reviewing stand and
at the public meeting which we both
addressed; that our conversation on
the reviewing stand was only social
and that which would be naturally
suggested by the character of the oc-
casion, that at the public meeting we
had had no private conversation and
what we had said at the public meet
| ing spoke for itself-that is all there
was of it. 1 babe him good evening
and went to the train.
II wish there could be some way
found to stop the publishing of these
misunderstanding reports
The Times Story.
Toledo, o., Sept. 3.-The Toledo
Times today prints a story declar-
declared that there had been no peace
compact between himself and Secre-
| tary Taft, and that President Roose-
welt had adopted the policies of Mr..
Bryan and as that between the two
he preferred the genuine to the
imitation. Other statements credited
| by the paper to Senator Foraker are
that he was deliberately insulted be-
cause he received no invitation to
| participate in the opening of the
| Ohio campaign at Youngstown, on
September 3, and that the only diff
ference between the Democrats and
the Republicans was that the Repub-
licans favored tariff revision after
March 4, and the Democrats favored

credited with saying that he believed
in immediate revision.

before his endorsements or denial OF
the above story could be obtained.

READY FOR PROHIBITION
 NATIONAL CONVENTION

Columbus. O.. June 2s--The prohi- bition national convention for the nom- tnation of candidates for President and Vice. President of the United States Is to assemble in this city two weeks hence and preparations for the event are about completed. The party man. agers expect the convention to be a record-breaker in the matter of at- tendance. Interest in the prohibition movement, they declare, was never so keen as at the present time. and as a conseouence there will be full at the convention from every state and territory.
 The field of candidates for the Pres identiaI nomination is broadening dai- ly and the prospects are for 8 lively contest when the convention meets. Among those mentioned as possible nominees for President are, Alfred Ma nierre, an attorney of New York. Dr. w. B. Pelmore. editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate. and Fred F.. Whee- Ter, a wealthy real estate dealer or Los Angeles. Dr. J. B. Cranfill, Zap tist minister of Dallas, Texas, who was d candidate for Vice. President in 1892, is also mentioned as possible choice for the head of the ticket.
 Some of the leaders believe that 1t would be wise to take candidate from either one of the older parties, select ing a man who has done something for the anti-saloonists, even though he may not have been oficially iden- tifed with the Prohibition party. In that class is Seaborn Wright, Dem ocrat, who is regarded as the father of the Prohibition law now in force in Georgia. Another man whose name is mentioned in connection with the nomination is Judge Samuel A. Art man, of Lebanon. Ind. who gave deci- sion about a year ago that the grant ing of a saloon license is illegal.
 For permanent chairmanship Of the convention William T. WardweH. for noeraIlv connected with the Standard Oil Company, and W.ssW. Smith, a New Yorker who has become so wealthy and more or less famous as nanu- lecturer of cough drops. are the two men who are most prominently men- tiouod 50 far.
