Foraker Men Make a Fight Id
Knox County and Are Beaten
Four to One

COLUMBUS, O., Feb 1.-THE net
result of the republican primaries held
throughout Ohio today was in favor
of William H. Taft. Four delegates
at large, 22 district delegates to the
national convention in Chicago, and
delegates to the state convention to
be held March 3, which will be un-
animously in his favor, were selected.
No opposition worth mentioning de-
veloped during the day. The supreme
court destroyed all chances of success
by the Foraker element in Cuyahoga
county by declaring that the Taft
county committee was the only valid
organization of its kind in that county,
and the selection of delegates went
by default, no ticket being placed in
the field against the Taft candidates.
In Knox county the opposition to Taft
had brought an Independent ticket
into the field, the independents how
ever. being all Foraker men. The Taft

That there will be no formal CO.
operation between the republican
county committee and the Lincoln
Roosevelt league in San Francisco was
shown clearly enough if not definitely
determined last night at special
meeting of the republican county
committee, which developed a storm
of characteristic oratory, a disposi-
ton to turn down the state central
committees recommendation for un-
official primaries on May 2, and to
discipline Chairman F. H. Dam, who
was authorized to appoint committee
oil IL on organization. That there will
be real cooperation by the county COM
mittee and the Lincoln Roosevelt
league was indicated by the fact that a
majority of the committee favors the
Lincoln Roosevelt movement.
That the committee of Il to be ap-
pointed today by Chairman Dam will
endeavor to perfect plan of practical
cooperation with the Lincoln -Roose-
welt league is a foregone conclusion.

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-At meeting

ated with them as musical directors

caninf. two conductors of ability.

candidates won easily, the vote being
four to one in their favor.
Actual. voting for delegates to the
state convention was carried on in but
S5 out of the total of So counties, the
Taft delegates in So counties having no
opposition.
Congressional primaries were held in
of the eighth, ninth, twelfth, fourteenth.
sixteenth, eighteenth and twenty first
districts and in small portions of the
seventh and nineteenth. In all but the
last, wherein the voting today was in
too limited territory to be decisive,
Taft won without opposition.
In the ninth, sixth and sixteenth dis
tricts candidates for congress were
nominated directly at the primaries. 1t
was the original intention to select del
egates 70 the national convention in the
same manner but it was decided later,
in order to avoid all chance of future
complications to name the delegates at
a regular district convention.
In the eighth district congressional
primaries were not held in one county
-Hardin-but the result there cannot
possibly overrule the vote in the re-
mainder Of the state, and the two dele
gates to the Chicago convention are
certain for Taft.
The following statement was issued
tonight by Arthur L vorys manager OF
the Taft presidential campaign:
.Ohio is for Taft The result of the
primaries today completes the dem
onstration. Every county--except one
with seven delegates-has selected its
delegates to the state convention. Every
county has selected Taft delegates. The
state convention will be unanimously
for Taft. for every one of the SIS dele
gates is for and is instructed for Taft
This unanimity also demonstrates that
every one Of the IS delegates TO the ma
Itioaal convention Will be for Taft
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1908-02-12

That such plan will be adopted may
be accepted as reasonably assured !.
That any such plan will ever be form
ally ratified and adopted by the county
committee as the official governing
body of the republican party is for the
present the merest conjecture.
OPPOSE STATE BoDY,s PLAN
The committee of II which Dam was
authorized to appoint will have full
power to act. but reasonably may be
expected to act Independently in a de-
gree.
That there is decided and deter
mined opposition in the county commit
tee TO the state central committee's
scheme for unofficial primaries to be
held on Saturday May 2, was exhibited
by the committees refusal by vote Of
Il to 10 to consider the proposition last
night.
The bright particular feature of the
special meeting Of the county commit
tee called to receive and act upon the
report of it's special committee ap-
pointed to confer with the Lincoln
Roosevelt league and independent re-
publicans was the oratory OF Commit
teeman Billy Bell, who at the pre-
ceding meeting delivered philippe in
denunciation Of President Roosevelt.
Bell was opposed to the Lincoln-Roose-
yelt league. but tremendously inter
ested in the antecedents OF DR.. Hugh
Lagan and Supervisor George L. Cen
ter, members of the Lincoln Roosevelt
leagues executive committee.
The special COMMITTEES of nine recon-
mended that the county committee CO.
operate with the Lincoln Roosevelt
league on the same basis that the in
dependent republicans are working
