state convention closed today after nom
mating the state ticket. endorsing Hanna
for another term in the senate and Roose-
welt for another term as president
While Senator Foraker was presiding to-
day the delegates formulated the cam
paign battle cry of Hanna, Herrick,

except that for the head of the ticket he
named HIS neighbor, Myron r. Herrick,

GuiIbert the Only One.

cially gratihed over the unanimous adop-
ton of resolution which indorsed Pres
ldent Roosevelts nomination as we'll as his
administration. 1t had been anticipated, as
Congressman Nevin said in his speech to-
day, that Senators Hanna and Foraker
would lock horns over the endorsement
OF Roosevelt's- candidacy. but instead they
locked arms and are leatiing the Ohio re-
publicans in this campaign more harmoni-
ously than ever"
