We have many things In Ohio to be proud Of
splendid ctizenships, growth and prosperity-but
tonight the proudest of the people from

State. Ohio is prosperous because 1t Is laid on
foundations firm and solid. When the great North
west was settled 1t was promised that the states
carved out of II should forever remain In the
American confederation, and those five States
when the Union threatened gave more than
one-third of all the men that defended II. Among
these warriors, and the greatest, were Grant Sher-
and Sheridan
There have been thrty-eight Governors OF Ohio.
and, OF course. II is not possible for to speak
Of them. 1t is fitting however. that mention the
hrst-the Governor Of the Northwest Territory,
General Arthur St Clair He was born in Scot
land and served In the English army with Wolfe
on the Plains of Abraham before Quebec: he was
with Washington at Trenton and Morristown. So
when the American settlers had pushed westward
II we'll that this gallant officer of Washington's
should be govern them
In later years there two Governors especially
worthy Of mention-Rutherford b. Hayes and Will
lam Mckinley. Presidents OF the United States. We
proud of SJa,e, because II is our own
But we OF Ohio, wherever we are. remember II as
but OF forty-fve which compose this Union.
We have greater and broader pride for the Ma
tlon than ever for our dearly cherished native
State.
