The witnes: then added that Hearst's meeting in Columbus, Ohio —the time when he was supposed to have seemed the letters—was September 11, 1908. He said that Hearst, in his speech that night, referred to a letter from John D Archbold urging Foraker to support the nomination of Judge Burkett, then a candidate for the supreme court of Ohio. “Judge Burkett and I," said Foraker, "were dose personal friends, and I knew him to be a man of the highest integrity. I would have supported him whether or not I had received a letter from Mr. Archbold. Therefore, his let ter had no weight with me.” Why the Ohio Bills Were Held Up. Taking up the three Archbold letters relating to bills pending in the Ohio legislature. Senator Foraker said these were introduced in the state legislature by A. E. Price, chairman of the com mittee on the judiciary in 191)0. At tht subsequent session of the legislature they were materially amended and passed and still remain on the statute books. The amendment made them more objectionable to the corporation, lie said. Senator Foraker produced a lette. written by Price to the late Judge Wil liam 11. Webb, of Athens. Ohio, who had made some inquiry regarding tin matter, and which letter, he said, ex plained it. Price wrote that the bills were pie pared by ex-Governor Nash, then the executive of Ohio, and introduced by him (Price), embodying Nash's ideas on corporate legislation. The reason they were not passed at the 1900 ses sion of the legislature was because the national administration at Washington feared their passage would jeopardize the electorate vote of Ohio. According to Price's letter, at no time had Foraker communicated with him regarding the measure. but that Governor Nash had said that Senator Hanna had counseled him to abandon the bill at that ®ess>' >n: that Iw (Han ns' had conferred with Foraker about the matter and that Foraker concurred in Ids views. Two years later the bill was amended and passed. Foraker said he did not recall having consulted with Hanna about the bill, but tn view of this statement he pre sumed that he had concurred with Hanna. Foraker also read a letter from M. W.
