your speakers, Governor Nash and
congressman GrOsvenOr, have sounded
the keynote Of this campaign, one on

behalf Of the nation. These twin is

"our Strenuous President"
There has been consideration Of
state affairs, and especially of the
work done by the legislature of our
state which will appeal to the people
interested in sound, economic govern
ment; and will also appeal to those who
have felt the burden of taxation and
have sought relief and found il. There
are questions Of great interest in this
campaign because we are called upon
to vote for members Of congress, who
shall support our strenuous president
during the balance of his administra-
ton.
"Of course, as in all campaigns, there
are issues which the Democratic par
" are trying to make for us upon ma
tional questions. They have talked in
the halls of congress for days and
weeks upon a question which the Re
publicans of the United States settled
last year, but we can pardon them
for it is all they have left. But how
are they making this issue? Standing
before the American people and pro-
claiming that the policy of President
Mckinley was wrong-morally wrong
Why, Republicans of Ohio. I blush to
have to say that il seems 70 me almost
an insult to his memory that such
things could be said upon the floor Of
the United States senate against A
man whom not only the Republicans
of Ohio, but the Republicans of the ma
ton. worship. Shame upon a party
that will attempt to bring that name
into disrepute Sand dishOnOr through
his policies inaugurated, as they were,
in the interest of humanity. Those Of
US who were close TO him during those
trying days, when new questions came
up, all knew how he wrestied with
them prayerfully and inteiligently. that
he might do what was best for those
people on the other side of the world
Weighing everything in the balance
and praying to his own highest au-
thority-GOd-he came to the conclu-
sion that the best thing for us and
for them. was that we might extend to
them all the blessings of a free govern
ment, controlled by a power which
knew what free government meant.
McKinley's Inspiration.
That was a policy borne of the best
thought and the best efforts that could
be exercised for the good of those peo-
pie who had come into our hands, and
without the aid of a party that had
much to do with bringing on the war
with Spain for the elevation of their
race and the spread Of Christian NOR
ality. That was the inspiration of
Mckinley; that was the motive Of all
the people of the United States. When,
as a result of that policy. we are con-
frOnted with the conditions that we
find today, shah We follow the issues
that prompted the prejudices of a
party to thWart US in the work of hui
mainly and Christianity. Never. In
the words of Roosevelt, our flag is

My friends, as we enter upon this
contest in our state let us remember
our martyred president and inspired
by the policies to which he had de-

country great and prosperous. let his
spirit guide US, and under that in

"A new era is dawning upon this
country. Our great development has
reached q point that has placed us IN
the front rank of nations not only by
the power and weight of our affairs,
but also we have become the greatest
manufacturing and industrial ration of
the world. That development is a
natural consequence of the evolutions
that are going on. Labor and capital
are approaching each other in the
proper spirit.
Il believe in organized labor. and
believe in organized capital as auxil-
larry. These two great forces are work

and they must be friendly. They must
be ably and honestly administered, and
they must be controlled. Our pros
poets are bright, and as I have said
before, we have entered upon this
great contest full of hope. because we
