The Platform.
The Republicans OF Ohio congratu-
late the people of the country upon the
growth OF Republican sentiment. as
evidenced By the signal victories Of the
i,st three wears, which assure q glor-
ious national triumph In the coming
election.
Ne denounce the Democratic admin
is,rntIon as the most destructive and
disastrous the history OF our country
has eycr known. Il has not only dis
appolnted the expectations OF the coun-
nv. hui has justly forfeited the con-
aiencs and support OF its own party.
Ne affirm our adherence to the prin-
Clples Of the Republican party as de-
fined by the national convention In 1922.
We are faithfully welded TO the great
principle OF protection by every tie OF
party lealty and Affection, ana II u
dearer to us now than ever before. II
has more devoted supporters among
ihr great masses OF the American peo-
pie. Irrespective OF party, than at any
previous period IN our national his.
iory II Is everywhere recognized and
endorsed as the great, mRsterful, tri-
umphant American principle-the Key
to our. .prosperity IN business, the s1fest
pFop 10 the treasury OF the united
StRtes, and the bulwark OF our ma
t!onal independence and financial nom
or.
We denounce the present tarlff law
rs the subtimated product OF Demo-
cratic ignorance and .ncOmpetency,
bringing, as Il has, 10 q prosperous ana
happy people, period OF unprecedent-
ed adversely and distress from when
nothing but return 10 the policy OF
protection can relieve IL
We denounce the free wool provision
OF the present tariff law as an UNJUST
discrimination against an important
Industry and against a large part OF
our people and demand such protection
for sheep husbahdry as wifi secure fair
prices for American wool,
What It StRuds Tor.
The Republican party stands for a
reciprocity that recIprocates and which
does not yield up to another country n
single days labor that belongs to the
American worklnSman. It stands for
International agreements which get as
much as they give, upon terms of mu-
tuai advantage.
Il stands for foreign policy dictated
b. and imbued with n spirit that Is
genuine American; for policy that
viii revive the national traditions and
restore the national spirit which car
rled US proudly through the earlier
years Of the century. II stands for
such a policy with all foreign nations
as will insure both 20 Us and 10 them
Justice good faith. dignity and honor.
It stands FOR the Monroe doctrine as
Monroe himself proclaimed IT,
II stands for commercial policy that
will whIter every sea with the salIs Oh
Amcrican vcasels flying the American
flag and that will protect that nag
wherever II flows.
It stands for fiscal policy opposed
10 debts and deficits in time OF peace
and savdTB the return Of the govern
meHt 10 debt.payiEE policy, ana OPP
Poses the continuance OF the debt-mhk-
Ing policy. II is too plain for afBu-
