Foraker Boom Signals Foraker Indorsed by Ohio Republicans
Senator Joseph Benson Foraker will be endorsed tomorrow as a candidate for President by the Ohio State League of Republican Clubs. The executive committee gathered at the Nell House in Cincinnati to hear speakers and discuss the plan to launch Foraker’s campaign, aiming to make his fate hinge on a battle with Taft for the party delegation. Local election results in Ohio, notably Burton’s defeat and shifting sentiment, have energized the effort and boosted prospects for a nonrelection bid if Foraker pursues the White House path rather than Senate tenure.

Halts Third Termers Hitchcock Gets His Orders
A Washington dispatch reports President Roosevelt instructed First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock not to allow Southern federal officeholders to attend next summer's Republican national convention or to publicly favor a third-term nomination. Officeholders may be delegates, but the policy blocks active promotion of renomination. The move aims to keep administration allies from pressuring the convention while preserving individual rights to attend as delegates.
