On tho evo of tho republican caucus the so-called Forakcr-Hnmia contest over tho organiza tion of tho Ohio leglslnturo Is an open bat tle, with nclthor' I'rlco nor McKlnnon ns lurod of thu thirty-flvo votes for the repub lican nomination for speaker of tho house. While McKlnnon and Price. arc claiming thlrty-scvop vdtos each) their managers, who "keep "books," uro more, conservative. Congressman Ulclt, who Is director general for McKlnnon. nnd tho Hanna faction, said' "Wo gnlno! two lit tho' declarations of Hinckley, of Terry and Kleher of Medina today and we want n couple more." The I'rlc.o . inen concede McKlnnon only twenty-nlnb of. -what aro called first, laot pnd all tho time men. Ilut cbnscrvatlvo on lookers say "that each bar thirty-three jit that class nnd that each needs at least two Wore. Oeorgo U. Cox, who Is tho director gen eral for Price, hnld tonight: "Thero aro stjU sevep doubtful republican representatives. Wo meed two or three of them, and the others four or five." AVnrUliiK I, Ike TroJiin. While Dick, Cox and others aro after re cruits, their llqutennnts nre having lively times In holding their men In line. Mem bers on both sides aro accompanied by friends wherovnr thoy go,' even to their meals and .to bed. Tucro aro sentinels nbout tho botuln nnd at the depot to seo that nono set away or into strange com pany. Koprescntatlvo Willis turned on his ottcart today and publicly denounced tho "organized csplonngo on both sides." Ho afterward attempted to start a movo- mcnt to drop both i'rlco and McKlnnon and to tako up a new -man for speaker. Whllo every possible effort- Is being made tonight to secure the few remaining doubtful mem bers, It Is evident that tho most untiring efforts nro being mado by both aides to hold their own. While both Ohio senators havo become indirectly Involved In 'the contest through the direct Intorests of their respective fol lowers. It dnvcl6pcd today that tho lines nro not strictly drawn between their frionds. Many raembars concur with George D. Cox ot Cincinnati In stating that this fight Is not one for the supremacy of olthor Korakcr or Hanna In Ohio and that they nro on equally cordial rclntlons with both senators. 8omo of Hanna's closest friends nro for Price nnd some of Fornker's for McKlnnon for Bpeakcr, for personal, local or other than factional reasons. Tho lines are much more distinctly drawn between what arc known ns tho Cox men nnd tho Dougherty men. Two years ago ox-Hoprescntatlvo Harry M. 'Dougherty was dofented for tho gubernatorial nomination by Governor Nosh. In that contest Cox threw his whole strength to Nash, ns ho Is now doing for Price. McKlnnon was Dougherty man .then nnd a leader In tho last legislature, which was controlled In Us organization by tho Daugherty men. llmlly TatiKlcd. Cox, who was then supporting Price for poakor, tsuys he was pledged to him beforo the present complications arose'. Whllo Cox Is friendly with both senators, Daugh erty is an nvowed opponent of both, nnd tho locnl feature of tho contest Is the fnct that Hanna and Daugherty are for tho inmo man for speaker. Tho entanglement goes fetlll further with somo in talking about Koraker nnd Cox being for the same man for speaker. And tho crossing of wires extends to ox-Governor Foster, ex Governor Dushnell. cjc-State Chairman Kurtz nnd othors, who nro now oo-opcrot ng with tboso from whom they aro said to havo been ostrangen in loto years. Ignoring tho Dougherty clqment entirely Cox enodavored originally to havo an agree ment among tho leaders and found no op position to I'rlco for speaker. After Cox bod commltteod himself, ho says tho Hanna men said Prlco would not do. Referring to his original canvassing and the present complications, Cox" said ho found Senator Foraker nt first friendly to McKlnnon, ai though not pledged, nnd Senntor Hanna favorablo to Trice, and ut tho time that ho committed himself both of tho senators ap proved of Price for speaker. Mr. Cox In sluts that tho present entanglements nro temporary only nnd will have no bearing on futuro politics In the state. lliiiinn "1 Foniliir AwnUe.

Somo ofMho conferences lasted till after midnight, whou It wns fouud that a strong tldo had set in during tho night for Mc Klnnon, whoso managers claimed forty of tho sixty-eight votes.

Tho franchlso Is of tho blanket variety, as It gives the company tho right to select any rood It desires, but provides for tho filing of surveys of tho proposed lines within six months of tho granting of tho franchlso. Work Is to bo commenced within a year of that tlmo and at least fivo miles ot track Is to bo completed within two years.

The company must give bond In tho sum of $30,000 to protect tho county from damaga suits. Commissioner Ostrom said: "I nm not In favor of tho franchlso in Its orlglnnl form. After Investigating the matter care fully I suggested 11 number of changes that should bo mado to protect tho county's In terests moro fully, but even If they nro mndo I am not certain that I will voto for tho franchise. In my opinion tho franchise first submitted, that of tho Elk City peo plo, comes nearer to what such n frnnchlse should bo than nny thnt havo been pre sented since. "At Friday nftornoon's conferenco with tho representatives of tho now company they intimated that some concessions might bo made.
