ed statement to Representative Me- i
Kinley, chairman of the reupbllcan

would Withdraw from the race in |
order to insure republican control of j

maining two years of his tenure of
office.
laist night at the White House
President Taft gave a dinner, at
which the Speaker was the guest of
honor, and which was attended by
a number of the Speaker's lieuten
ants. Over the cigars and coffee
there was considerable talk about
legislation and politics. One of the
guests said to-day that the Presi
dent feels that the country will have
experienced a reaction by next fall,
and will be ready to repudtate the
Insurgents' vote a "straight adminis

Hayes has been classed by some of
his associates as merely a "mercer

fixed up the arrangement with the
White House whereby the insurgents
agreed to help along certain of the

sault upon N. Goshen. Wilkerson !
was lined 110, the tostimony show
ing that he had struck Goshen forty
or fifty times In the face.
The assault upon Goshen grew out
of the fact that a little girl had

Into the establishment kept by his
competitor by one of the men who
was employed by Stein.
"It appears." said the Justice de
ciding the ease, "that Wilkerson, who
