AWlLL FORCE THEaFIGHTING
GOOD WORD FOR DR.. HOLMES

Appointed to Head,the Bureau
of Mines.
Clean-cut defense of the Payne tariff
law and the general. principle Of protec-
ton is TO be the slogan Of the Ohio re-
publicans in the coming campaign in that
state. Gov Harmon and the democrats
will be met on that issue and the fight
will be to the finish.
That now appears to be the program in
Ohio, and it will go through unless the
President vetoes it and directs that the
fight with the democrats proceed along
other lines. The President, however I'M
willing he may be to interfere in local
Ohio politics, is the man looked to for
direction in setting the pace, and it>is to
be seen whether he will give the word
that will put the republican machinery
in motion toward certain end.
The President is considering the various
suggestions that have been made to him
and is interested in the claims OF those
who believe that republican victory can
be had on a straight-out defense of the
Payne law, with the promise that when
ever the tariff Is revised again it will be-
upon a scientific basis leaving no doubt
as to the fairness of the schedules 1t
is in line with his own attitude on the
tariff. He has defended the existing
tariff law in his speeches. but that fact
does not commit him to a policy of stand
ing pat upon the law if facts to be gath,
cred by the tariff hoard indicate that
there are glazing inequalities in the
measure of protection afforded to differ
ent lines of business.
Needs No Apology.
The President sees nothing in the Payne
law that needs apology, and he agrees
with Ohio republicans generally that it is
not apologies that will be accepted by the
people What they want is material that
will convince them one way or another.
Representative Kennedy is one of the
men urging the tariff issue as the fore
most Of the coming state campaign, prac-
tically setting aside state issues. Gov.
Harmon, who is to be again nominated by
the democrats. is a democratic presiden-
tiaI aspirant. with the tariff as the issue
upon which he seeks to reach the White
House.
He may seek to divert attention to state
issues in portions Of the state where the
doing of this will win votes for his party.
but he is catering to the dissatisfaction
that is said to prevail as to the tariff.
Therefore, fight MIR. Harmon on his own
issue. Mr.. Kennedy. who called on Presi-
az III ait To-Day ana reiterated Ills VIEWS.
said: Let us go back to the old Mckinley
idea of protection. fight the democrats to-
a standstill on that issue. and We Will
win. The people OF Ohio are beginning
10 see through this mud throwing, and
l predict that IL we make the tariff the
issue and fight the democrats upon that
we will win with ease"
Senator Dick Approves.
Senator Dick. the choice of his own
party for reelection as senator, is fully
in sympathy with the out-and-out tariff
fight idea Practically every other man
in the Ohio congressional delegation
takes this view. With the exception Of
Representative Cole all the republicans
of the delegation were renominated In
spite Of opposition from republicans hold
ing an "insurGent' view of the tariff.
Mr. Coles defeat. it was said today, was
personal, the man who won out over him
having contested for the nomination
three or four times prior to this and each
time growing stronger in the district.
Senator Dick was at the White House
Ohio people interested in patronage dis
putes jim their respective localities. In
cluded among these were A. B. Crictfeld
former adjutant general of the state, now
the republican nominees for Congress from
the seventeenth district, and Jesse Fay
Tor. republican nominee in the sixth dis
trict.
Representative Douglas, another 90
man, was also with the President, but
not on political errand. He favors the
nomination OF DR.. j. A. Holmes OF the
geological survey as director Of the new
bureau of mines, and he wanted to say
something to the President I'm behalf of
DR.. Holmes. The opinion prevails that
the President will select Dr. Holmes,
whose Endorsements are unusually strong.
Champion Cow for White House.
Along in September the White House

stein, has an official record of 9J.
pounds Of milk day. the record hav-

the daughter is not so heavy a mixer,
but it is predicted that by the time
she reaches her mothers age she will
be almost az great COW Even at
this age she has a record of twenty
five pounds of butter a week.
Senator Stephenson recently gave
orders that Pauline Wayne should be
shipped to Washington in time for the
Taft family when they return from Bev-
ery, their summer home, this fall The
senator said today he felt that the Taft
family should have AL the good milk
they could use. and that induced him to
direct the sending OF this splendid ann
mai. The cow is valued at not less than
81 900. and Senator Stephenson was Of
fered that sum for her a number of
times.
