to-day to give admission to more than
mali OF those holding ticlxels and wear
ing badges with McKinley's picture
thereon, notwithstanding a heavy
snowstorm. 1t was 1915 when Sem
ator-elect Foraker called the I've
ton to order. At that time the stage
was crowded with Ohio Congressman
and other party leaders.
The temporary organization of the
convention was unanimously made the
permanent organization when Chair
man Foraker briefly acknowledged the
double honor and proceeded with bus
mess. :
Congressman j. NJ. Taylor, chair
man OF the committee on resolutions,
reported the following platform,
which was greeted with frequent ap-
plause and adopted:
The Republicans of Ohio c~ongratu-
late the people of the country upon
the growth of Republican sentiment,
as evidenced by the signal victories Of
the last three years, which assure a
glorious national triumph in the com
ing election.
w d%enounce the Democratic adj
ministration as the most destructive
n disastrous the history Of our coun-
try has ever known. 1t has not only
disappointed the expectations of the
country, but has justly forfeited the
confidence and support of It's own
party.
I'VE affirm cur adherence to the
principles of the Republican party as
defined by the national convention
in 1892.
"We ere faithfully welded to the
great principle OF protection by every
tie Of party fealty and affection, and
it is dearer to us now thar ever be-
fore. 1T has more devoted supporters
.Inong the great masses Of the Ameri-
can people, irrespective Of party, than
at any previous period in our national
history. 1t is everywhere recognized
and Endorsed as the great, masterful,
triumphant American princip!e-a key
to our prosperity in business, the
safest prop to the treasury of the
United States and the bulwarks OF our
national independence and financial
honor.
I'VE dcnounce the present tariff
law as the sublinaated product of
Democratic ignorance and incolnpe-
tency, bringing. as it has. Il a happy
and prosperous people a period of un-
p~recedented adversely and distress,
from which nothing but a return to
the policy of protection can relieve it
RECIPROCITY M MoNRoEIsM.
The Republican party stands for a
that r~eciprocates, and
does not yield up to another
country a single days labor that be- ,
fn tho A M orioon x,o~1>:,o.,--
Il stands for international agreements !,
which get as much as they give, upon
.erins of mutual advantage. !,
1T stands for a foreign policy die
tated by and imbued with a spirit that
S genuinely American; for a policy
hat will revive the national tradi-
ions and restore the national spirit
Which carried us proudly through the
arly years of the century. 1t stands
or such a policy with all foreign ma
ions as will insure both TO us and to
hem Justice, good faith, dignity and
lonor.
1T stands for the Monroe doctrine
S Monroe himself proclaimed it. 1t
for a commercial policy that
will whiten every sea with the sails of
vessels flying the American
lag, and that will protect that flag
wherever it flies. 1t stands for a fiscal
'olicy opposed to debts and deficits in
ilne of peace, and favors the return of
he government to a debt-paying
and opposes the continuance of
he debt-making policy. 1t is too
lain for argument that the public
redit and commercial interests Of the
require the revenues of the
to be amply sufficient for
public expenditures at all times
without danger Of deficit, and to that
nd Congress should without delay
na1e due provision.
BIMETALLIsM
1--WE contend for honest money; for
currency of gold, silver and paper
With which to measure our exchange,
hat shall be as sound as the govern
Ind to that end we favor b~imetallism,
Ind demand the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, either in ac-
.ordance to an international agree
nent, ii that can be obtained, orunder
such restrictions and such provisions
TO be determined by legislation as
will secure the maintenance of the
of the values Of the two
SO that the purchasing and
debt paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
I'VE denounce the present admins
tration of the pension bureau for it's
betrayal Of the interests of the union
soldiers, and We pledge anew to the
of the republic a watchful
care and recognition Of their just
upon a grateful people.
