Middle Bass Island, Sept. 8. Taft's
friends and advisers here today Inter
pret the meeting between the presiden
tial candidate and Senator Foraker at
the Toledo club last evening as a com
plete surrender on the part of Foraker.
They say it rtifans the senator will make
no further effort to oppose Taft In
Ohio, and this belief is particularly
pleasing to them, as the opposition of
foraker was one of the troublesome
complications lri the campaign.
Taft men call attention to the fart
that Foraker, In his,speech paid: "I am
for Taft." while Taft In Ttis remark
did not say that he was for Fo rakes.
or niiyune eiw, as a inaiier or raci. v
The supposed surrender of Foraker
is the talk or the camp here today, ex
cept when Taft Is present. He has re
fused consistently to discuss the inci
dent In anv wnv.
aft went fls'himr again today and on
Monday will go to Sandusky to make
nis iapor uay aaaress.
What the Antagonists Said.
The conipllmpntarv interchange be
tween Taft and Foraker at the Lyceum
theatre. Toledo, late yesterday after
noon, contained tho following passages:
.'It Is a pleasure," said Taft, "for me
to be here with Senator Foraker, be
cause when governor of Ohio he gave
me really my first chance and took a
ood deal of nsK in putting a man or
9 on the bench of the superior court
of Cincinnati. We are about to enter.
or rather .have entered, a great' orator-
cal campalfrn. It Is a pleasure to think
that we are going to stand In the cam-
Falgn shoulder to shoulder, with the
Ull strength of the Republican party."
Senator Foraker's disclaimer of en
mity 'was the following:
"Under the clrcumKtancfs I hope I
may be pardoned t I say here In his
resence the first time I have ever
had an opportunity to nay It that there
has never, so far as I know, been the
slightest ill-feeling or any kind between.
Judge Taft and myself.
"And if there had been you could not :
lose me that way. lr there Is anything-
I have a right to claim beyond
another, It Is that I afn a Republican
366 oaya In the year. I have my pref
erences sometimes as to who should re
ceive the honors of the party, and ev-.
ervbody generally finals out what they
are. But I am one nf those old-fashioned
Republicans who settle every
question at the ' convention. vvnen the
Chicago convention nominated Oudgo
Taft to be the Republican candidate for
the presidency this year, that Instant
he became m v leader. He has been my
leader ever since, and he will be mv
reader untfl the polls dose on the night
of the election."
AH the same, the handle of the hatch
et Is apparently left sticking out in the
gap between the conceptions offered re
spectively bv the 1ude and the senator
as to what constitutes the Issue In thU
campaign.
According to Tart tne issue is,
"whether the voters of tho country
will give' their Indorsement to the
Roosevelt policies and the deeds jif the
rcepuoilcan party or turn to inn iemo
cratlc oartv. with Its untried promises.'
Forsloer fell far short of this In his
view that the Issue was "whether the
administration of public affairs n thja
country snail ne turnen over to tne demo
cratic partv. with Mr. Rryan at Its
head, or shall be continued In the hands
or the Republican party.
