I<er fostered vicious legislation. - ' "I have printed a letter in which Mr. Archbold calls Senator Forakur's special atten tion to a measure pending in the Ohio legislature, and directs him to oppose It," and "I am doing this for the pub lic good." No Order From Archbold, He Says. "No letter that has been read can possibly be construed as an order di recting me to do anything,” said Fora ker. The witness then added that Hearst's meeting in Columbus, Ohio —the time when he was supposed to have secured tlie letters—- was September It, 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 tor the supreme court of Ohio, "Judge Burkett and I,” said Foraker “were close personal' friends, and I knew him to be a man of the highest Integrity. 1 would have supported him whether or not I had received a letter from Mr. Archbold. Therefore, his let ter had no weigiit 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, chabman of the com mittee on the judiciary in 1900. At the 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, he said. Senator Foraker produced a letter written by Price to the late Judge Wil liam H. Webb, of Athens-, Ohio, who had made some inquiry regarding the matter, and which letter, he said, ex plained it. Price wrote that the bills were pre 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 jeopardise the electorate vote of Ohid. 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 session; that he (Han na) hud conferred with Foraker about the matter and that Foraker concurred in his views. Two years later the bill was amended and passed. Foraker said he did not recall having consulted with Hanna about the bill, but in view of this statement he pre sumed that he had concu: red with Hanna. Forak.w ala. read a letter from M. W.

[LEGTIK UP IT AUGUSTA AUGUSTA, GA., Dec. 18.—Charging the Hayne partisans with fraud In the may oralty election here on December 4, the contested election case brought by Dr. J. R. Littleton, defeated candidate for mayor, was begun in the superior court room here today before Ordinary A. R. Waiton. The interest which has l<sen shown from the first in the outcome of the election and the probabfity of its being successfully contested brought forth a large crowd to witness the hearing. Boykin Wright, representing L. C. Bayne, the successful candidate, began the argument. He contended that the result of the election was declared De cember 4 and the petitioned, filed Decem ber 10, was one day too late. He also argued that the prayer in the amendment, asking the court to take charge of the ballot box. w r as a new procedure, and was not filed within the five-day limit allowed by the statut.es. He asked the dismissal of this amend ment. Mr. Wright went further to show the authority given for the opening and ex amining of the ballot boxes and the sanctity and inviolability of the freeman’s vote. He argued that (lie examination of the ballot boxes would be unconstitu tional and without authority. Other points in favor of the contestee were ar gued by Mr. Wright during the sitting, which adjourned at 2 o’clock this after noon. The bearing will be resumed at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The fight over the Augusta mayoralty has been waged in one form or another since last summer, when the Hayne fac tion refused to go into a primary with the Littleton candidates. THE ATLANTA TO g N “?
