DELIBERATELY INSULTED BY
REPUBLICAN LEADERS AN
NOUNCES THAT HE STANDS
WITH DEMOCRATS ON TAR1FF.
Toledo, O., Sept^. 8.—The Toledo
Times today prints a story declaring
that Senator Foraker vesterday de
clared that there had been no peace
compact between himself and Secre-
tary Taft, that President Roosevelt
had adopted the policies of Bryan, and
that as between the two he preferred
the genuine to the imitation.
Other statements credited by the
paper to Senator Foraker are that he
was deliberately insulted because he
did not receive an invitation to par
ticipate in the opening of the Ohio
campaign at Toungstown on Sept. 5,
and that the only differences between
the democrats and the republicans
was that the republicans favored tar
iff revision after March 4 and the dem
ocrats favored immediate revision.
He was further credited with say
ing that he believed in immediate re
vision.
Senator Foraker left here last night,

Six weeks ago it looked as though
the Cubs and "White Sox were entirely
out of the baseball running. By a
remarkable exhibition of that most
uncertain of all vagaries—baseball
luck—both of the Chicago teams are
today suddenly transposed to the
1#
fighting fore front of the baseball
i battle line. As a result Chicago—one
of the best baseball towns in the
world—is again baseball crazy and It
is the confident prediction' in the
Windy City that the world's cham
pionship series would again be fought
out on Chicago ground.
