FORAKER IS
DOWNED AGAIN

CLEVELAND. Ohio, October 27.-
Former Senator Foraker has quarreled
with the Republican executive com.
mittee conducting the Ohio campaign
and has withdrawn from further par.
ticipation. The trouble arose over the
bitter attacks the former senator has
been making on the New Nationalism
policy promulgated by former Presi.
dent Roosevelt. In his stumping Of
the State, Foraker has been denounc.
ing Roosevelt, although supporting the
state Republican ticket.
His anti-Roosevelt speeches were
found to be attracting more attention
than his Republicanism, and he was
yesterday asked by the executive com
mittee to modify his addresses so as to
eliminate his attacks on Roosevelt
Foraker promptly refused to modify
his course in any way and announced
that if his actions failed to please, he
would withdraw from the fight alto
gether.
1t was definitely announced last
night that he had withdrawn.

TO CURE MEAT
BY ELECTRICITY

Meat curing by electricity Is TO be
given thorough test by commissary
officers, with a view to adoption of
the system for the army The pro-
cess of curing meat by electricity Is
to apply an alternating current to
the meat-curing pickle.
IL Is a new method successfully
tried On a limited scale. In the case
of ham it was shown that It was i'm
every way equal to the highest
grades of ham on the market. and
with less tendency to harden after
cooling.
BY direction of Commissary Gene
raj Sharpe the experiment is to be
tried on a larger scale. The meat
when treated is to be shipped to the
Philippines. Standing the test in
that climate will prove it to be much
more desirable in every respect than
the product cured in the regular way.
such a resource would be of the
utmost importance to the subsistence
