Taft Supporters Confident Fight Over Foraker Indorsement
Evidence grows that Taft friends in Ohio plan to ignore any harmony conference action, especially if it endorses Foraker for re election. They claim control and will not concede a compromise, while national officials backing Taft weigh whether to accept the conference or press Foraker opposition.
