dacy of WIK'nm 11. Talt, scciotary of
war, for the ltepubllcan nomination for

lican -statu committee by a voto of
15 to 0. The Indorsement crrrled
with it a declaration that the Repub
licans of Ohio arc opposed "to tho
elimination trom public life of Sena
toia Koraker and Dick."
Although beaten by a decisive vote
In all the preliminary contests, the ad
herents of Senator Foraker In tho
committee refused to accept tho olive
branch extended by the Taft sup
porters, and when tho resolution, ns
amended, was finally accepted, no ef
fort was made to make the action of
the committee unanimous.
The resolution as adopted by tho
committee is as follows:
"Ho it resolved, by the Republican
elate central committee or Ohio, that
wo believo tho great majority of the
people of Ohio, convinced of the
high character, great ability and dis
tinguished services of Secretary Taft,
Indorsei his candidacy for the presi
dency, and, further, wo declare that
the Republicans of Ohio Overwhelm
ingly desire that the name of the Hon.
William Howard Taft bo presented to
the nation as Ohio's candidate for
president, and that the Republicans of
other states bo Invited to cooperate
with the Republicans of Ohio to se
cure hi nomination In 1008.
"And bo It further resolved that we
emphatically declare that tho Repub
licans of Ohio ate opposed to the
elimination from public life of Sena
toib J. 11. Foraker and Charles Dick,
whose services to tho party and state
have been distinguished, by ability,
Wisdom and patriotism."
The indorsement of Secretary Tuft's
candidacy by tho ltepubllcan state
central committee wns vigorously op
posed by Senator Foraker, who, upon
the eve of the meeting of the com
mittee, ppenly voiced his dissent to
the propo'sitton.
' The senior seiuttor from Ohio con
trolled seven of the twenty-one mem
bers of the committee on all votes ex
cept that tnki upon tho adoption of
the resolution Indorsing Taft. A. W.
McDonald of the Sixteenth district
broke with the foraker forces on tho
final ballot, which stood 15 to G.
A. I. Vprys, the manager of the Taft
campaign, declared the action of tho
committee was Important in that It
gave assurance to other states that
Secretary Taft had the support of his
party In Ohio and would be backed
by tho delegation from this Mute In

tion. PROHIBITIONJN GEORGIA

PROTEST AGAINST THE FINES
Railroads and Government Clash Over
Mail Regulations.
Chicago, July 31. Western railroads
are near an open break with the post
ofllce department over the transporta
tion of the malls, owing to a number
of lecent orders. The latest cause of
grievance Is the Imposition of heavy
fines on nearly all the roads for de
lay in delivering the malls. To con
sldei the situation, a number of rail
road oftlcials had an Important confer
ence here. One official declnred that
tho flues levied by the government
ngalnst his road iu ono quarter amount
ed to $!0,o00. A similar condition
on other roads wns leported.
Tho fines were assessed under a
rule which went Into effect In July,
100C The loads are amazed to find
that they are In danger of losing 10
per cent of their mall pay unless they
revise schedules and place their jnall
trains upon running time which they
know they can maintain in all seasons
and In all kinds ol weather.
Tho new rule, tho loads claim. Is
oppressive and unjust. It provides
that If the malls are late tefi times on,
firit- i-mitn .liiflmr i trlni1 nf nlmi
UU lOtlie UUIing .I period Ol IUUtl
ilnv? tho road shall be assessed lo nor
U.ljs um uniu himii in- usv.oiii i.i iin
cent or tne pay oi tnai route lor me
quarter. Under the speed standards
ns now established operating men de
clare it would be a marvel for almost
any of the big western systems to es
capo having their important mail
trains lato more than ten times in
ninety days.
