PinchOt Behind Move
To Defeat Taft in 1912?

AKRON. Ohio, March 7.-Leading
politicians of Ohio, President Tart
own state, declared today that the
address delivered here last night al
a banquet of Republican progressives
by Clifford Pinchot, could only be con-
strued as the inauguration OF q
movement to overthrow Taft and TO
secure the nomination In 1872 oil
progressive Republican candidate for
president.
The most significant part OF Pr
chot's address was his description OF
the. man who must be the Republican
candidate for president in 1912, IN
which he said: :,
I'm 1912 the nominee himself will
be more than half the platform. IL
Is obvious, therefore, that the Re
publican candidate should be selected
with peculiar care, and that he must
have certain indispensable qualifica'
tons.
First, he must have wisdom,
courage. and genuine devotion to the
welfare of the people.
Second, he must be progressive
and stand for popular government.
Third, he must be a leader. whom
the voters will follow with enthusiasm
Fourth, he must OFFER the party
he is to lead fair chance TO win.
These requirements are not I'M
reasonable. No man not a reaction
airy can object to the simple standard
they contain. And no man whatever
can doubt that unless the next Re-
publican national convention nom
mates a man who meets this test,
the party is sure to suffer. For In
these days the independent voters are
increasing by leaps and bounds"
Taft's name was not mentioned dur
ing the address.

Here's History Of the
Famous BaIlinger Case

WASHINGTON, March IA joint
committee of the senate and house

Secretary Ballinger, and seven mem
bers filed a majority report exonerat'
ing him. They were Senators Mel

ocrats and one Republican. presented
separate reports, finding Ballinger
guilty of all charges Judge Madison,
of Kansas, Is the Republican who dis
sentec from the finding OF the other
members of the majority.
The whole inquiry was to deter
mine whether Ballinger was fit for his
Job. Briefly summarized, the conten-
lions which the prosecution pre-
sented as tending to show Baliingers
unfitness, are as follows:
That his association with Special
Interests and friendship with Alaskan
claimants biased him In the coal

ance of acting himself.

That he restored vast areas OF valu-
able power sites and when forced to
undo his work by President Taft. re-
withdrew the lands. but afforded in
adequate protection 10 the sites.
That he undermined the efficiency

replace It's director. f. II. Newell. and
wanted TO run the service on a politi-
cal basis.
That his hatred for Clifford Pinchot
and the forest service led him TO abro-
gate cooperative agreements between
that division and the Indian reserva-
tons.
That he terminated the Garfield
cooperative irrigation certificates

ton of It's purpose and thus worked
hardship on settlers under govern
ment irrigation projects.
That he countenanced a scheme OF
