Tho Ohio republican state com
mittee on July 30 met and adopted
a resolution endorsing Secretary
Taft for president, also one declar
ing that the Taft men do not seek
the defeat of Senator Foraker.
On tho day before the meeting Sen
ator Foraker gave to tho newspapers
a copy of a letter. The letter is ad
dressed to C. B. McCoy of Coshocton,
N. Y., a member of the republican
state committee, and is intended as
an expression of the senator's views
to be presented when the committee
meets at Columbus tomorrow. The
interview of Governor Harris, in
which he favors the indorsement of
Foraker for senator and Taft for
president, and encourages the sug
gestion of his own name for another
term as governor, and various recent
publications are taken as the text
for the letter which, in part, is a"s
follows:
"I learn from the newspapers and
otherwise that a resolution is likely
to be offered at the next meeting of
the central committee, to be held in
Columbus tomorrow, July 30, indors
ing Secretary Taft as Ohio's candi
date for tho presidency, and I have
seen it stated that a resolution is
likely also to be offered indorsing
me as a candidate to be my own suc
cessor in the senate of the United
States, and in today's papers is pub
lished what purports to be an au
thorized interview with Governor
Harris, favoring this proposed action
in indorsing Secretary Taft and ex
pressing" friendship and good will for
myself with respect to a continuation
to my public services, but disclaim
ing a desire to have himself Indorsed
as his own successor-in the governor's
office.
"In view of what Governor Harris
has seen fit to say, I .trust it is not
out of place for me to .call attention
to my former expressions of this
view, and to report that I do not
think the state central committee
has any authority to pass on any Such
subject.
"When we are through with the
elections of this year we can take up
in an orderly way and without in
jury to any interest, as' the .ext busi
ness to be transacted', the settlement
or our presidential preferences.
"I -learn also from the newspapers
and, otherwise that it is claimed, that
as a reason for the proposed action,
that -Secretary Taft is the only can
didate Ohio has for the presidency
and that on such account from senti
ments of state pride, we should unite
in his support, and that for this rea
son tue committee should take the
proposed action at this time so that
the whole country may be advised
what Ohio intends to do next year.
"I see it stated almost every day
in the newspapers as a reason for
the claim that Ohio, has only one
candidate for the presidency, that I
have not at any time announced my
candidacy for that office. It is true'
that I have never made any such
announcement. A candidate for the
presidency must assume, flrst, the
great and serious responsibilities of
leading the party in the national cam
paign and, if successful, he must then
assume the grave and serious re
sponsibilities of administering the
executive offices. These responsibili
ties are so grave and so serious that
any man might well feel highly com
plimented and greatly honored to
have his fellow citizens name him in
such a connection, but at the same
time they are so grave and so serious
that any ordinary man might well
hesitate to proclaim himself quali
fied for such responsibilities, or pre
fer, at least, to wait until Invited by
his party associates to undertake
such duties.
"It is because I entertain opinions
of this kind that I have not made any.
announcement of -my candidacy for
any office, and, in view of what may
be inferred from these expressions,
I do not deem it necessary that I
should. But this is not a matter to
be settled by sentiments of- state
pride, commendable as they are. If
there were not any differences of
opinion ampng republicans state
pride would probably have great
weight, but today there is a wide dif
ference of opinion of republicans on
such an important matter.
"Every republican has a right to
espouse any view he may entertain
and inasmuch as Governor Harris
represents that such is his view, I
do not wonder that he prefers Sec
retary Taft as his candidate for the
presidency, for on a number of oc
casions Secretary Taft has taken
pains to announce that he is- in favor
of an immediate revision of our tariff.
I observe also that most of the lead
ing supporters of Secretary Taft in
our state entertain similar views, ac
cording to the expressions I have
seen attributed to them fn the news
papers, notable among them ex-Governor
Herrick and Theodore E. Bur
ton. When, therefore, we are asked
to commit ourselves to the candidacy
of Secretary Taft we must do it with
that fact in mind, that he entertains
the views he has expressed on this
subject and that if we make him
our candidate the campaign of a ne
cessity must be a campaign of the
revision downward of the tariff
schedule , under which - the country
has been brought not only to an un
precedented, but to a universal pros
perity. "I do not believe that we should
discredit what the republican party
has done for this country under tho
policies represented by the Dingley
tariff law by making our campaign
of next year an attack upon that
statute.
"If we postpone the matter of set
tling our preference as to a candidate
until we can go before tVe people and
discuss this question, as we will have
an opportunity to do if we select our
delegates to the next convention at
primaries our respective views can
be presented and thd people can
judge between us and thus act in
telligently. I think this much is due
to the farmers and the wage work
ers, as well as to the manufacturers
and other business men of our state,
who will necessarily be immediately
and seriously affected by any kind
of tariff revision.
"If we can be civen time to dis
cuss this subject, as I propose, I may
change my views about it, but with
out further advices it is impossible
for me, notwithstanding the high
character and the great ability and
the distinguished serVices of Secre
tary Taft to favor his candidacy.
"Inasmuch as the time is short and
this is designed for the public as well
as for yourself and the committee,
I take the liberty of giving a fopy
of it to the public press at the same
timeT put it in the mail."
