TRIED ON INDIANA FIRST
Wants to Keep Governor Harmon
from Reelection in Ohio to Kill
Presidential Hopes.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2S.-Presi-
dent Taft has mapped out a compre-
hensive program to restore peace to
the republican party. He proposes to
have conferences with representatives
of those states which are politically
doubtful and to use his influence to
compose the differences affecting the
party therein.
Some days ago the president talked
with Senator Beveridge and Repre-
sentatives William o. Barnard and
Edgar d. Crumpacker. the remains of
the republican party in Indiana
He also has talked with former
Senator Hemenway and former Con-
gressman Watson of the same state.
Subsequently he conferred with the
delegation from Ohio, the delegation
from South Dakota and influential
members of congress from New York
and representatives of the republican
organization in that state
Wheels I'm Motion.
AS a result wheels have been set in
motion which are expected to hatteu
cut obstacles raised by personal dis
putes and to bring about general party
cooperation in the states named
These conferences will be followed
by others, in which will participate
men from Iowa. Nebraska, Kansas and
other commonwealths where the in
surgent feeling is strong and where
democratic victory may be the result.
To Keep Pnrty I'm Power.
this work is the continuance of repub-
lican domination in both houses of
congress, in order that the legislation
he has advocated may be enacted. For
no other reason would the president
consent to mix in local squabbles. He
appreciates that. with the tide flowing
as it is today. the chances of republi-
can success in the November congress
sional elections are not as good as
they might be.
The situation in Ohio. Indiana and
New York justifies most active work
on the part of the republican organi-
zation. If the democrats are success
full in Ohio they will reflect Governor
Harmon. who thus naturally would be
come the democratic candidate for
president in 1912.
Taft Denies Ambition.
Mr.. Taft insists. however, that he
is not concerned about the presidency
three years hence. and asserts he does
not expect to continue in his present
Office But he has to face the posi-
bility of a democratic house for the
last two years of his administration

franchises will then be passed.
Consideration of the Franchises
will be resumed tomorrow night.
When the railroads were con-
fronted with proposition of grant
ing terminal rates or being barred
from the city. they were willing to
grant almost any concession the
citizens asked for in other respects.
Now that the terminal rate barrier
has been swept aside, and the coun-
Gil seems to have gone over to the
railroads, the Milwaukee and North
Coast are trying to see how few Of
the former promised concessions
can be granted.
Last night the city council again
manifested it's subserviency and
conceded almost everything that
the railroads asked. About every
other meeting of the council. new
draft of the franchise is submitted
and when the final draft Is reached
the franchise in all probability will
be exactly what the railroads want.
Attorney Dudley of the Milwau-
kee has assumed the boldness to
whip the council into line on the
floor of the council chamber. When
something comes up that does not
please him, Dudley arises and soon
straightens out the council, and his
suggestion or command Is gener-
ally followed.
That there will or will not be a
union passenger terminal depends
on the wishes of the railroads.
