THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND. MAY 19, 1907. 14 LOUD FIRE ALARM Insists on Convention in Ohio to Decide About the Presidency. -ON MONTAVILLA CARLINE- Lots 50x100 v FORAKER SOUNDS JONESMORE ;CALLS CHAIRMAN A BOSS Says Demand Senators State Position ' Is Hank, Dictatorial Bossism. No Fear of Losing Senator i ship by Kesistance, WASHINGTON. May 18. Senator For . alter today Issued a spirited rejoinder to :the statement made public at Columbus, O.. yesterday, by Chairman Brown, of the Republican State Central Committee. . embodying his views and those of Gov j ernor Harris and other state officials re specting Ohio's choice of a candidate for President. The Senator says It Is "dif ficult to make a polite answer" to - a ;part of Chairman Brown's statement, de claring that "for rank, dictatorial and of . fenslve bossism it far exceeds anything 1 can recall." He gives definite notice that he not only resents Chairman Brown's dictation, , but that his choice for the Presidency ' will be named by the next convention of Ohio Republicans, and that he will abide by that choice. Following Is the text of Senator For aker's statement: Insists on Convention. "The state officers have a right to their preferences and to declare it when ' they like, but such declarations do not dispose of the necessity for a convention nor. In my opinion, that the voters should be given a chance to be heard before final action has been taken. "If the Republicans of - Ohio are all overwhelmingly, or even by a bare ma jority. In favor of Secretary Taft, his i friends need not either fear the prima ries or be in a hurry about holding them. "No one need suffer, certainly not , wrongfully. If we proceed In order in- : stead of trying to rush conclusions by unofficial announcements and declara- ' tions. "So far as control .of the state or r ganisatlon is concerned, I have never ' made any claim to that. I have always ' supposed that organizations were mere party machinery, and not the personal property of any one, not even the chair man of the State Central Committee. Calls Brown Dictatorial Boss. "As to the rest of Mr. Brown's jtate wont 1 ia iirriniilt' in TnnkA nolite an- , iwer.' For rank dictatorial and often-' sive bossism, it far exceeds anytnlng I can recall. It amounts to a threat that unless I declare for Mr. Taft I shall lose the Senatorship. That may be, but ; if so the fact has no terrors for me. "1 said at Canton that I would not bo dictated to by any kind of a boss, ibid or little, inside or outside the state. I meant that announcement for Just 'such bosses as Mr. Brown, and for Just such performances as lie Is now giv- inar us. "To be specific. I emphatically resent his dictation and give him notice that any choice for the Presidency will be . named by the next Ohio Republican Convention that Is lawfully held to ' nominate state officers, and that, so far as I am personally concerned I snail abide by the action of that con- vention as to whether I shall be . candidate again for any office, and if so, what that office shall be." : BROWN'S DEFINITION OF BOSS Called So by Man Whose Orders He Will Not Obey. TOL..K1DO, O.. May 18. Chairman "Walter F. Brown, of the Republican state central committee, would not discuss today the possible political effect of Senator Fora ker's latest challenge. He refused to say whether this would be considered ground for calling a state convention at which Secretary Taft would be indorsed and the Senator possibly exposed to criticisms. Of the Foraker allusions to himself as a boss, Mr. Brown would only say: "Some time ago I defined a boss to be jOne active in politics, but who fails to do that which he Is directed by the per. son applying the term. I have nothing to add to that definition." WELLMAN TO SAIL TUESDAY 4 Expects to Begin Airship Voyage to Pole in July. PARIS, May 18.
