desirable step. there rests upon the Ameri-
can people a moral responsibility. My
friends, i want the people who are op-
posed to Cuban reciprocity TO see that their
position Is an infringement on the pr1n-
ciples of protection. 1t is not a defensible
position, because we all know that Cuba
has moral right to demand that We do not
under the Platt amendment. Cuba has the
right to look to US to redeem the pledge OF
Mckinley.
HAS FAITH IN OHIOANS.
$50 far as the State Of Ohio is concerned.
L have faith in the intelligence of Ohio
voters. This is State campaign. Senator
Foraker has told you of the good times.
Governor Nash has given us a first-class
administration. He has accomplished his
work in such sensible and businesslike
way that my friend, Mayor Johnson, might
well initiate. Every State official in Ohio
has done like Governor Nash and they
have made a successful State administra-
ton. Although this is State campaign,
the result is Of great importance to the
national administration. Every Repub-
lican. no matter whether political condi-
tons may obtain to his personal satisfac-
ton or not in county politics, owes IL 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 con-
sequences that will follow a change in adj
minisrration. Take this question to your
home and discuss il with your family. We
do not want a change in government now,
because since We have enjoyed this great
prosperity it has been under the guidance
of men who understand the laws of eco
nomic prosperity. We enjoy the greatest
natural resources in the world. Under
the guidance of our present leaders in poll
tics and Industry present conditions are
normal, under any other leaders they quick
ly become abnormal.
AS capital has undergone a great evolu-
ton, so, too, has labor, the partner of cap
ital, been moving forward for organization,
and am glad to see that organized labor
has taken higher plane in the ranks of
the Worklngmen. am sure that the lead
ers OF these organizations are as well quail
1hed to lead their men as anybody. What
we want to do is to recognize the
operative value Of their efforts. What we
want to do Is to break the line of prejudices
and take the laborer by the hand and en-
courage him to fill the position he occupies,
for ne must prosper. and he must have
his share of the profits. There is no dis
enlargement in work that is founded upon
the true principle Of the golden rule-the
golden rule, not for political purposes, but
for the purposes of humanity. That is my
golden rule. This may take years of pa
tient labor.
Ohio, go back to the campaigns of 1896 and
1900, when the Democratic party, so called
knowing and approaching the values of
!. that great army of workingmen, undertook
to deceive them and use them in the inter-
est of the Democratic party, notwithstand-
ing that Mckinley had been our candi-
date. Mckinley, the man who had been
the lifelong friend of the workingman."
Referring to the speech of Mayor Tom
L. Johnson at the Sandusky convention
Senator Hanna said his Endorsement of
the Kansas City platform and nonindorse-
ment of free silver was like man carry
ing water on two shoulders-trying thereby
to harmonize the supporters and nonsup-
porters of the Kansas City convention.
After the speeches, Senators Hanna and
Foraker and Secretary Root returned to
Cleveland on a special train. The secre-
tary of war will be the guest OF Senator
Hanna over Sunday.
