FORAKER TALKING
Ohio Senator Gives Out a State
ment on Result of the Re-
cent Primaries.
CAME OUT AS He EXPECTED
Charges That Call Was of Such a
Character That His Friends Did
Not Have a Chance.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator J. B.
Foraker last night gave out a state
ment as to the result of the primary
elections in Ohio on Tuesday, when
the Taft forces made practically a
clean sweep in the selection of dele
gates to the coming republican state
convention.
Nobody should be either surprised
or misled by the result of the primaries
in Ohio Tuesday" said the senator.
at has been common knowledge for
weeks that the call for those primaries
was of such a character that my
friends throughout the state refused
to participate.
No Opposition to Taft.
Consequently there was no opposi-
tion to the selection of Taft delegates.
Under such circumstances he would
of course, carry everything.
THAT the result of the primaries
does not indicate anything conclusive
should be manifest from the fact that
the totA vote polled will not repre-
sent more than 10 per cent of the re-
publicans of Ohio. There were only
two districts in which there was any
approach to contest, and these con-
tests were due to the fact that there
were opposing candidates in each dis
trict for the nomination to congress.
Points to Dawes Defeat.
On the Sixth district the Taft can
didate was defeated by 1,025, while
in the Fifteenth district Mr. Dawes,
the Taft leader and candidate for re-
nomination, is probably beaten, ac-
cording to the latest advices | have re-
Ceived.
IF there mad been a primary in
which we could have participated sim
liar results would have been possible
if not probable, all over the state.
Recurring to the state convention
it should be borne in mind that it will
be composed of the representatives OF
Cnly one faction of the party. Not be
cause the people have so decided, but
because the course of the Taft man
ayers was such as to bar everybody
else out from participation

FOR COFFIN
Banker Who Testified for John
r. Walsh Hit by Controll-
er RideeIy.
REPLY TO MAGAZINE ARTICLE
Denies Statement That Certain Laws
Are Violated Daily by Large
Banking Institutions.

Washington, Feb. 13-William B.
Ridgely, controller of the currency,
has issued a statement grilling George
NJ. Coffin. former president of the
Beaver National bank of New York,
and later star witness for the defense
in the Walsh case, for assertions made
by him in an article headed Told
Roosevelt How to Check Stock Gam
bling" published in a New York paper
Feb 8.
The article contained charges by
Coffin that every large bank is daily
violating those sections of the revised
statutes which prohibit loaning more
than one-tenth of their capital stock
to any person or firm and prohibits
over-certification of checks.
Had Official Position.
Coffin was at one time deputy con-
troller of the currency and for this
reason the newspaper article states
that he is probably the best informed
banker on the federal banking laws
in New York.
In a statement of considerable
length, Ridgely throws some side
lights upon the record of Coffin and
says that by his own testimony in the
Walsh trial at Chicago Coffin admits
the looseness of the methods employed
in the division of the controllers Office
of which he was at one time chief and
which was at a period when Ridgely
was not in the service Taking the
statutes alleged to be violated. accord
ing to Coffin's newspaper statement,
Ridgely demonstrates that his allega.
tiOns are not correct.
Law Enforced without Fuss.
"The sections of the law which Cof.
fin complains are daily violated" he
said, ARE, as a matter of fact strictly
enforced. the same as all the rest OF
the law is enforced quietly and as a
matter of duty, without any fuss OF
parade, and regardless of letters OF
Coffin or any other sensation monger
The proposition that officers of lead
ing banks in New York city are sc
foolhard, as to daily violate the law
and render themselves liable to i'm
prisonment as criminals, on complaint
of the department of justice, regard
less of any action or ruling by the
controller of the currency, as would
be the case if the law were so vic
lated. is too absurd for belief
Attacks business Record.
In discussing the record of Coffin
the controller names various positions
which the newspaper article quotes as
having been held by him at various
| times and tells of Coffin's actions il
connection with several of them.
Gas vice president of the Phoeni,
National bank" says he, she made nj
record which entitled him to be ranged
as an authority on bank methods o.
management. Soon after his organi
zation of the Beaver National bank i
was learned that some of his associate,
were merely promoters"
The controller says that the affair
of the Beaver National bank Will,
Coffin was its president were oftel
found to be in bad shape.

War on Special Interests
Most important Issue,
Says Garfield.
TALKS AT CHICAGO
Policies of the President Must
be Carried 0ut.--Linc0ln
Day Is Observed.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-One of the first
big guns of the republican national
campaign was fired at the Lincoln day
banquet of the Hamilton club last
night by James r. Garfield. secretary
of the interior who is considered one
of President Roosevelt's closest ad-
visers.
The efforts of the administration to
correct the abuse of special privileges
and the intentions of President Roose-
welt in taking each of his steps against
corporate wealth formed the subject
of Mr.. Garfiaid's address.
The question of special privileges,
Mr. Garfield maintained. was upper
most of the problems of the day. The
republican party, he said, stood face
to face with the proposition of carry
ing on the policies of the president in
bringing men of wealth who broke the
law to their account or turning back
the pages of history.
Many Speakers Heard.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 13.-The
Lincoln club banquet here last night
was brilliant success, with a galaxy

gan political banquets. 1t was held in

occupied seats at the tables. The hall
was elaborately decorated and as a
compliment to Ambassador Jusserand
of France. French colors were mingled
with the American.
Taft Among Number.
President Roy H. Watkins of the
Young Mems Republican club, and
President Charles Holden of the Lin
coin club opened the banquet with
greetings. United States Senator Viii
liam Alden Smith was toastmaster and
introduced the guests of the evening
The speakers were Ambassador Jus
serand, Congressman George Edmund

reau of American republics at Wash

Tor. F. D. Patrons.

Postmaster e. A. Pannewitz
desires to call attention to the
practice of some patrons of rural
delivery of placing loose coins in
sheir boxes each time they de-
sire to dispatch letters instead Of
supplying themselves with post
age in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes
and delays them on the service of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of
rural delivery provide them
selves and keep on hand q supply
of stamps consistent with and
in advance of their need. 1t is
also very desirable that rural pa
irons place in their mail boxes
small detachable cups Of wood or
tin in which to place coins, when
necessary, in purchasing sup
plies Of stamps.
