PPlplVv' HITS A SNAG Tfce Repoblicaa Leaders in Obi* Arc Greallj Worried About FORAKER'S OUTBURSTS Om the New Nationalism that Ha* Been Promulgated by Teddy Roosevelt Has Created Consterna don Among the Republicans of the Buckeye State. The bitter attack on Rooseveit made by Former Senator Foraker in Ohio on Saturday has created consternation among the Republicans of the Buckeye state. Senator Foraker declared that It ia no wonder that William J. Bryan holds up his hands In horror at the Rooevelt doctrine, for never In hia radical momentB, did Bryan go bo far as to advorate such a thing as the "new nationalism." He declared that it was not nationalism, new or old, but imperialism, pure and simple. The senator went further into detail, and did not mince words in denouncing tho overweeoimg ambition of the ex-president, who would like the opportunity to run the whole country, in the executive, legislative and judicial departments. Ohloans declare that the net result of Foraker's attack on Roosevelt will be to lose Harding, the Republican candidate for governor, a large number of votes. Harding has boen doing great things in Ohio in the effort to bind up the Republican party's wounds, and had begun to hope for success in defeating Judson Harmon for governor. But when tho iTnmknr nil t tin rat nnmp nn with all the bitterness and force which long ago earned the speaker the title of "Fire Alarm" Foraker, It was immediately recognized that the result was not good. Mr. Harding gave out the following statement tu rogard to the affair: "It was a typical Foraker speech. Perhaps his opposition to the new nationalism will not wholly pleasa the more devoted followers of Col. Roosevelt. Rut we have no special need to agree upon that subject in this campaign. There is no censorship on individual Republican ideas in Ohio either for or against new Pi ans. The main thing this year is to elect a Republican congress, and in Ohio to elect a Republican administration in the State for which the party will assume the responsibility." The fear that besets the Buckeye Republicans is that Taft uiay lose his own State to the Democrats. They are particularly anxious to win hecniioe of the President's being a citizen of Ohio, for there is eveiy prospect that this is a "Democratic year" in that State. As a result of the speech of Foraker, it is probable that the dates for other speeches which he had been scheduled to make in the campaign will be cancelled. Already one meeting, at which Foraker and Son-in-law Longsworth were to speak from the same platform, has been called off. and It is Raid that the Foraker stronghold. Union County, will in all probability be carried by the Democrats this year. rrhp PnrilfftP attorlr nn Pr?noovalr recalls the bitter enmity which grew up between the senator and the president. while Roosevelt waa the occupant of the White House. The whole affair grew, largely, out of the Brownsville affair. It will be recalled that, while the negroes comopslng the Twenty-Fifth Infantry were guilty of "shootlnuu p" Brownsville, or at least Home of them were guilty, the president discharged the whole bun?.h without allowing them the right ot court-martial. It was lynch-law 'n a different form from that ir. whlcn lynch law is usually administere 1, according to legal authorities. Genator Foraker deprecated the action of the president In "firing ' the negroes without trial and natuially the negroes looked to him to defend then, in the senate. An the long struggle that took place over the affair. Senator Foraker was determined in his efforts to see that the negro soldiers were g.ven an opportunity to be hoard -a rlcrnt which is supposed to bo denied no man who Is charged with crime tr. the civilized world. At a dinner of the famous Orldiion Club in Washington in February. 1908. President Roosvelt took occasion to defend his action in discharging the negroes, and to denounce the inen who had opposed him In congress. He was especially severe, and. In the course of his remark* he 'took occasion to use a siting expression which was popular about that time?Roosevelt Is both a maker and user of slang, as everyone knows. He brought Into his remarks the sentence, "All coons look alike to me." to the amusement of ail present, except, perhapB, Senator Foraker and a few of his way of thinkln? But the "flre-alarm" senator he who had waved the bloody ai.lr* in the face of the South many h time, was not afraid to reply to toe hero of the evening. He got the boor 1st USE OF LIMB ON LAND.

C., on Saturday morning, when ho was hurriedly summoned from the fleld, a uuarter of a mile nwnv who?o h<? been drilling wheat, by a negro boy whom he had sent to the house on an errand. When the boy went Into Mrs. Morris' room ho found her 10-months-oId baby lying in the Are burning and Its mother lying across the bed with her clothing burning from her body. The boy ran to the Aold to notiify 'Mr. Morris and when they reached the scene Mrs. Morris had managed to get up and draw her child from the flames and pull Ft out on the floor and had again fallen across the bed, presumably in an effort to smother the flames which enveloped ber. Every piece of clothing had been burned from her body and she was unconscious. In which condition she remained until her death at four o'clock that afternoon.
