were adopted, Senator Hanna was
called for. He thanked the convention
for this expression of confidence, and
pledged himself to cooperate with the
standard-bearer BushnelD, for Repub-

I am indeed deeply grateful for the great
honor which you have conferred upon me.
Indeed it is great honor to receive at the
hands of the Republican party of Ohio such
an Endorsement through the medium of such
representative body. l assure you, gem
tlemen of the convention, that l appreciate
this, not only as compliment, but as an
evidence of your confidence and respect. We
are warneo that there is danger ahead for
the Republican party next fall. We accept
that warning and will be ready to meet it.

Ohio to witness the fact that when the Re
publicans see anything to do they don't wait
long in getting ready to to do it, By your
act today on have demonstrated to the state
and to the nation that the Republican party
is solid and united and determined.
We are further told that the opposition
proposed to revive the late threshed straw.

upon it, has carefully prepared and is now
in the act of making law which will be
the most scientific, the best balanced and
the most just tariff law that this country
has known, and in this presence l de-
sire to publicly thank your honorable chair
man for the part he has taken in that work

Ohio that he has not only filled their great

convention. it is my pleasure to say that
the president of the United States has won
golden opinions from every party, every class
of citizens and is better purer and better
able to justify not only the predictions of

In the opening of this campaign l want
simply to say one word That the secret of all
success is unity of purpose, devotion TO party
and last, but not least, organization. l don't
need to give the Republicans of Ohio any
advice on that statement; but l am prepared
to join hands with our distinguished governor
and with him take my place in the front
ranks, and from start to finish, am with the
boys.
