! IdDllSn reciprocal arrangements De-
tween the United States and Cuba,
either by the ratification of CONNER
cial treaty or by the enactment of suit
able legislation. 1t is only fair to
both sides that such arrangement
should be made"
The lsthmian Canal and annexation
of Hawaii and Porto Rico were re-
viewed, and the policy of the Admin
istration relating to the Philippines
was commended as wise and just.
In concluding, Senator Foraker said
some nice things about President
Roosevelt. "He is not only the politi-
cal head of the nation, but he is ev-
erywhere recognized as the highest
| type Of American craftsmanship and
American citizenship He came to his
office under the most embarrassing cir
cumstances, but he has shown the
| qualities of great leader and great
| executive. He has won the confidence
and the affectionate regard of his
countrymen. He is President now, and
in all probability will be President
again. SO far as his part is concerned
the expectations of the American peo-
pie will be met, but he cannot success
fully execute the great policies he is
pursuing unless he Is supported by ap-
propriate legislation. The Senate is
safely Republican, and will continue
so through the remainder of this
and the next term but 1t depends up.
on the American people to say wheth-
er or not he shall be upheld by the
next House of Representatives. That
is the question we are to answer at.
our approaching election. 1t is the
duty of the Republicans Of the United
States to choose Republican House.
1t is the duty of the Republicans of
Ohio to see to it that there is no Demo
cratic gain in this state. 1t is the
duty Of the Republicans of this con-
gresslonnl district to re-elect General
Dick. He is one of our foremost Rep
resentatives. He has been able, eff
cient, and indefatigable in the dis
charge of his duties. He well merits
the honor of triumphant reelection
by an increased majority"
Uncle Mark was the last speaker on
the program, and upon his appearance
upon the speakers platform there was
so much applause that it seemed as If
he would be unable TO- start Finally,
however, he stretched forth his hand,
and silence was restored. In part he
spoke as follows:
my friends, have only few words
to say to you this afternoon, for 1
hope to be with you all in the fall A
year ago it was my privilege to attend
the opening of the Republican cam

alton l came to the conclusion that |
should give YOU piece of advice, Let
well enough alone That was the
whole chapter that was all there was
in the campaign. Today say, stand pat.
You are not on the defensive in Ohio,
or anywhere else in the United States

Importance Of retaining Republican
majority in the House of Representa-
tives That matter cannot be over
estimated. All the success of the adj
ministration In continuing the policy
of Mckinley and Roosevelt is depend
ent upon the question of keeping in
power Republican majority in Con-
gress.
"If you would paralyze the onward
and upward march of progress in this
country give the Democrats majority
in Congress. whence all legislation per-
tanning to the great economic principles
must emanate. Take away the power
from that body today to continue Re-
publican principles and you begin the
work of harm by creating within our
people the suspicion of doubt as to the
future. Let one act like that give no.
tice to the American people that the
party which is responsible for our pros
perlty is to he displaced and you will
lay the foundation for condition of
danger which, in very short time,
will undermine the people who are
moving the great machinery of our
industry and commercial interests and
from that moment capital will begin
to hesitate; from that moment the
wheels of commerce will slow down,
for there Is nothing so timid as capi-l
tai. When you have given notice that
there is the slightest doubt in your
mind about the soundness Of Republ-
can principles, you sound warning
and that warning will be needed and
will be acted upon by the commercial
and industrial world to the detriment
of our condition.
"Oh, Republicans of Ohio. don't hesi-
tate, nor doubt, and above all things,
do your duty as you know 1t and as
you have done 1t in the past. 1t is in
your power to say whether the pres
ent conditions shall continue,
"The Republican party has no apolo-
gies to make. 1t stands upon the plat
form that was made on it's birthday
and upon which 1t will remain for all
time, Think of these principles in con-
nection with the principles of the ma
tional administration today.
