given to me in the beginning of this
term of service to you and to my state, |
graces me with the strongest hope that
/ will be able to fulfill your expectations
and do my whole part by the people Of
Ohio. Standing outside the line of the
smoke Of battle, which your president
has just spoken of, and viewing the
situation from the standpoint of citl-
zen of Ohio, come to accept this high
honor, recognizing that when l assume
THAT / am the senator from the whole
people of Ohio. tGreat and continued
applause.l
"This is my native state. was born
in Ohio. have,always loved this com
monwealth; have always striven to do
what might be in my power to accom-
phsh the advancement of her develop
ment and prosperity. If it is now trans
planted to a different field of duty, that
| duty will be none the less incumbent
upon me. In accepting this honor,
| accept in an appreciative sense the full
ness of the responsibilities which go
with it, and under God / promise my
people to be faithful service. l thank
you" Again the cheering broke out
and continued a considerable time
| Senator Hanna then received the con-
| gratulations of the members of the gen.
eral assembly and others and afterward
returned to the Neil House, where he
was again received with cheers and ap.
| plause.
Next to Senator Hanna in congratula-
tions was Major Charles Dick, who has
so successfully managed his campaign.
The Columbus Glee club headed a
large delegation of citizens that called
on Senator Hanna. Mr.. Hanna re-
sponded in witty speech. He insisted
that his personality was very insigniti-
cant as compared with the issues of the
battle fought at the capitol. The de-
cision has brought hope and inspiration
to every patriotic Republican. They
| knew the difference between a patriot
and traitor. He said:
''No traitors are wanted in our camp.
Tremendous and continued cheering
and cries of "that's right, give it to
them."l | have no desire to put any
indignity upon any man, but / have a
desire to visit upon every man the fruits
of his own sins when he sins against
our party. I"Hit 'em again." and
great laughter
although i have been pictured by
my adversaries in the press of this state
as an autocrat and plutocrat, stand
before my fellow citizens in Ohio and
every part of the state and tell them face
to face it is lie. My whole life has
proved that it is a lie, and my future
life will prove that it is lie. Cries OF
"You bet"l Thank you, gentlemen.
.. Hon. Harry NJ. Daugherty, chairman
of the state central committee, said:
~ promise you, my fellow citizens,
that shortly the Republican state cen.
tral committee will be called together
for the purpose of choosing a man rep.
resenting the Republican party of Ohio
upon the national committee as the col.
league of Mr.. Hanna, who is not a
traitor to his party" GOOD, good
that is right - The crowd readily un.
, derstood that an attempt was TO be made
|, TO remove Mr. Kurtz from the national
committee. Judge Nash, Congressman
Watson and others made vigorous re,
, sponses.
, Among the many who called on
Hanna were President Ratchford and
other national officers of the United
Mine Workers, now in session here.

, "The contest, now ended, was not be
. tween parties III amy sense, but between
2 Republicans, onerepresenting plutocracy
! nd the other the common people. Mr.
Hanna has introduced into Republican
politics policy of corrupt and lavish
use of money heretofore unknown to oul
party, and which has reached an alarm

and perpetuity of the party, and if con
hnued cannot help but threaten its very
exiStence''
