shall we begin? There are too many
interests involved to change the tariff.
t'In regard to reciprocity with Cuba,
| want to say, my fellow citizens Of
Ohio ands of the United States, that
l was from the beginning. with Presi-
dent Mckinley, and am now with
President Roosevelt, in strong support
of that policy, which consider moral
question and believe that the sentiment
of the people of the United States shall
demand that we shall carry out. Gap

Il would rot interfere with any in
fant industry nor would l advocate
policy that would produce any seri-
ous results to our big business men,
but l believe in the conscientious work
of Mckinley, the man who did more
to build up and guard the American
system of protection than anyone else.
And do you think that he would will
lingly attempt to put into execution
a policy that would work injury to an
| infant indsutry? No, my friends, and
Notwithstanding those who look upon
reciprocity as an undesirable step,
there rests upon the American people
a moral responsibility.
MY friends, want the people who
are opposed to Cuban reciprocity to
see that their position is an infringe
ment on the principles of protection.
1t is not defensible position because
we all know that many of the sched-
ules in the Dingley bill We're consid-
cred from the standpoint of recipro-

mand that we not bind her almost hand
and foot, as we do under the Platt
amendment. Cuba looks to us to
keep the pledge of Mckinley.
Now. as far as Ohio Is concerned,
nave faith In Ohio people. This Is a
state campaign. Senator Foraker has
told You of the good times. Gov. Nash
has given us firstclass administra-

way that my friend, Mayor Johnson,
might well initiate. Every state Off
eial In Ohio has done like Gov Nash
and they have made a successful state
administration.
Although this is state campaign,
the result is Of great importance to
the national administration. Every
Republican. no matter whether politi-
cal condition may obtain to
his personal satisfaction or
not I'm county politics, owes
II to the party to forget his personality
and consider only the general good of
the party which must come from this
campaign.
Senator Foraker has told You the
consequences that will follow
change In administration. Take
this question to your home and dis
cuss II with your family. We do not
want a change In government now.
because since we have enjoyed this
great prosperity 1t has been under the
guidance OF men who understand the
laws of economic prosperity.
I'VE enjoy the greatest natural re-
sources In the world. Under the guild
ance of our present leaders in politics
and industry present conditions are
normal Under any other leaders they
quickly become abnormal
"As capital has undergone a great
evolution, so too, has labor. the part

WHAT we want to do is to recognize

What we want to do is to break the
line OF preiudices and take the laborer
by the hand and encourage him to fill
the position he occupies, for he must
prosper and he must have his share
or the profits. There Is no discoura ge-
