not tbe his Influence except for the
head of the ticket in naming his neigh
bor, Myron Herrtcks, for governor.
The senator's great friend, George B
Cox, of Cincinnati, certainly named M.
Hardins; for lieutenant governor and
Wade Hampton Ellis for attorney gen-,
eral, as well as being a most potent fae
tor in nominating Judge Summers,, Audi
Itor Gullbert and others, especially Mo
Klnlen for treasurer, were strongly en- ,
dorsed, .
WblU Senator Foraker expressed hi
gratification at tbe ticket generally,
he was especially gratified over the
unanimous adoption of the resolution
which endorsed President Roosevelt's
nomination as well as his admlnistra
tion. It had been anticipated that Sen
ators Haana and Foraker 'would lock
horns over the endorsement of Roose
velt's candidacy but Instead they have
locked arms and are now leading the
Ohio republicans in this campaign more
harmoniously than ever.
