BRADLEY AND
THE PRESIDENT
Are Very Friendly-Has Been Twice
at White House at Taft'S
Request.

/. WASHINGTON, March 12.-Sen-
ator William O'COnnell Bradley, of
Kentucky, and President Taft are
very friendly. The Kentuckians who
thoueht the new Senator was going
to get hard slap on the wrist every
time he went to the White House have
another guess coming.
The Senator has been at the White
House several times since March 4th,
and twice at the Presidents request.
Senator Bradley has told Mr.. Taft
only a few of his repertoire of good
stories with the flavor of the Blue
Grass soil, and the President holds
his sides and laughs and laughs and
tells the Senator he must come back
right away.
The President and Senator Bradley
are to have no trouble Bradley is to
be Senator for six years. and he has
taken his place with group of Sena-
tors, some of whom are Root, of New
York; Hale, of Maine; Penrose, of
Pennsylvania: Scott, of West Virgin
ia; Crane. of Massachusetts; Bur
rows, of Michigan and other old
stagers who know the game and who
are Republicans from the ground up.
William O'Connell is getting in good
and it will not be long until he will
have convinced the wayfarer and of
fce-seeker from Kentucky that he is
the man to see, and that he is not
wearing the badge of a Senator for
nothing.

FARMERS ENTER PROTEST
Tell Legislators They Received Short
End of Deal.

Columbus, o., March 12.-Hundreds
of letters of protest are being receiv-
ed by members of the general assem-
bly, from the farmers Of the state
against the work of the legislature
this session. Most of them are of the
same tenor, making the direct charge
that the body has done nothing to re-
lieve the farmer and everything it
could to increase the farmers taxes.
The principal objection is to the
increase of the salaries of the county
recorders and the passage of the ar
mory bill, which puts the burden of
the maintenance of the National
Guard entirely on the property owner.
This is the measure which provides
a county levy equal 10 10 cents per
head for every legal resident OF the
county.
