TAFT AND
FORMER MEET ,
They Grasp Hands on Reviewing
Stand at Toledo ,
THOUSANDS CHEER THE SCENE ,
Ohio Senator Promises to Take Stump
for Republican Presidential Candi
date Incident Is Political Sensa
tion of Ohio.
Middle Bass Island. Sept. 3. Taft's
friend , inul advisors hero Interpret
the Lincoln club meeting at Toledo
between Judge Taft and Senator Fora-
Ker as a complete surrender to Taft
by Foinkor.
Analyzed the senator's speech says
"I am foi Taft. "
Tnft In his turn did not say that he
was for Foiaker or anyone else In the
senatorial fight now pressing to the
front.
Taft leaves Monday evening for San-
dusky , whore he will speak Tuesday
morning. Today the Republican can
didate went fishing.
Vole-do , Sept. 3. That Taft anil
Foraker are politically together Is not
only the public admission of both
Tnft and Foraker heie , but the polit
ical sensation of Ohio. Senator For-
aker is an avowed candidate for the
United States senate to succeed him
self and his services In the national
campaign have been sought by Na
tional Chairman Hitchcock , and' the
senator has promised to take the
stump. This rapid composition of po
litical differences attested by enthu
siastic expressions of singleness of
purpose by each , makes a "story" In
politics which contains all the ele
ments and phases of the science. The
conflicting ambitions of both princi
pals , as attested by the pre-conven-
tlon struggle has constituted not only
the official record , but the general Im
pression In the public mind. Both
this record and Impression were swept
out of existence by the events here.
Judge Taft bad been In the reviewIng -
Ing stand only a few minutes when a
carriage , which headed the parade ,
stopped In front of the stand and dis
charged Its passengers. There was a
tremendous shout as the thousands
who were within sight of the stand In
the immense stands adjoining and
across the street caught sight of the
senior senator and his colleague , Sen
ator Dick , Governor Harris and Mayor
Whitlock.
Taft and Forakor Shake Hands.
Senator Foraker was the last of the
little party to reach Judge Taft's side ,
but when be did and each raised high
his right hand , Taft saying : "Hello ,
Senator , " and Foraker , "I am glad to
see you , Judge , " and then shook hands ,
long and heartily , and smiled cordial
ly , there was a mighty shout from the
crowd , and then applause and then
cheers. The two sat down together
and remained in conference for more
than an hour , incidentally the two to
gether receiving the plaudits or the
marching veterans.
Later , at the Lyceum theater , when
Mr. Taft had been cheered for some
time by an audience which filled the
playhouse , Senator Foraker made his
appearance. He was also enthusiast
ically greeted as ho took a seat be
side the candidate , after the latter
had risen and greeted him with a
handshake.
Then the speech-making began.
President Mulholland of the club in
troduced Mr. Taft as "the world's big
gest man , " and many more compli
mentary phrases.
"It Is a pleasure for me to be bore
with Senator Foraker , " said Mr. Taft ,
"because when governor of Ohio he
gave me really my first chance , and
took a good deal of risk In putting a
man of twenty-nine on the superior
bench of Cincinnati. We are about to
enter , or rather have centered , a great
oratorical campaign. It is a pleasure
to think In this presence that we are
going to stand In the campaign shoul
der to shoulder with the full strength
of the Republican party. "
Mr. Tatt hero wont directly to a po
lltlcal argument , In whleh he repeated
what he had said in his trip thiough
Ohio last week , that the real issue ol
the campaign was whether the voters
of the country would Rive their in
dorsement 10 the Roosevelt policies
or turn to the Democratic party wltn
Its untried promise.

sembled on the lair grounds here ,

a half after the accident.
When the aeionaut reached u height
of more than GOO feet in his dirigible
balloon Boomerang , the spectators
were amazed to see small tongues of
flames issuing from under the gas bag
in front of the motor. Many persons
endeavored to apprise Jones of his
danger , but several minutes elapsed
before he noticed the fire. Tllen ho
grasped the rip cord , and by letting
out gas endeavored to reach the earth.
The machine bad descended but a
short distance when a sudden burst
of flame enveloped the gas bag and
the framework. Jones fell from the
framework of his motor. The physi
cians found that Jones had no chance

thought the bag leaked and a spark
from the motor caused the disaster.

VETERANS IN
GRAND PARADE ,
From Eight to Twelve Thousand
In Line at Toledo ,
STEP OF OLD SOLDIERS IS FIRM ,
Dense Throng Crowds City's Streets
to Witness March of the Battle-
Scarred Boys of 'C1 ' Four Hours In
Passing Reviewing Stnncl.
Toledo , Sept. 3. The Grand Army
paiade was remarkable lor the ah-
beuco of accidents and canes of exhaus
tion and lor the good order which prevailed -
vailed , not only among the denno
crowds along the Hue of march , but
throughout the city. Mayor Whitlock
mated that despite the crowd ot' 100-
1)00 ) visitors there had been fewer ac
cidents , fewer misdemeanors and leas
work for the police generally than on
any average- day ot the jenr. The
weather was of the niade-to order vari
ety , bright sunshine and a tcmpcraturu
comlortably below the aummoi average.
Aside from a veteran who Vtaa slightly
brulbed by being hit by an ambulance ,
there were no accidents and not more
than a dozen visited the hospitals aa
the result of fatigue. All were able
to leave after resting. Estimates of
the number of veterans In line varied
from 8,000 to 12,000. The vnriouu
posts marched with half a block be
tween them , and the departments
were even farther apart. There wan
a good ten feet separating each row of
marchers and It was this liberality of
space which made It require four
hours to pass the reviewing stand.
Fully half the veterans wore the
badges of either Michigan or Ohio.
Some veterans carried camp stools on
their arms and whenever there was
a halt they promptly sat down , to tire
envy of their comrades. The first
amusing incident of the march carnu
with the marching past of the Rhode
Island detachment. Two veteran tara ,
in sailor suits and each carrying a
broom bearing the placard "Who won
the battles of ' 01 and 'C5 , " "We did , "
danced along the way and were the
targets of many flowers.
Georgia , with thirty men in line ,
elicited applause by displaying a bun-
die of cornstalks from twelve to fif
teen feet in length. South Dakota'x
veteran sons paraded with cars of
corn stuck on canes over their shoul
