low
The Republicans in Ohio rejoice In
the results of the Republican admin
istration in the state and nation. 1t
has promoted the welfare Of the ell
the country. Past achievements in
sure the faithful performance OF new
0uties-
I'VE commend President Roose-
J,,tu or
TO President McKinley's policies and
his own proved ability in his high
Office, showing him in every way
worthy of election by the people to be
their chief magistrate. We favor his
nomination for president in 1904.
The Ohio Republican delegation In
congress has honored the state In both
houses. Senators Joseph B. Foraker
and Marcus A. Hanna have splendid
ly maintained Ohio's leadership. The
reelection OF Senator Hanna is a dis
tinct national demand upon our state
and we hereby cordially promise him
the undivided support OF the entire
Republican party OF Ohio.
"The protective tariff policy Of the
Republican party has made the Unit
ed States the greatest industrial ma
tion, astonishing the world with the
tremendous development OF our bound
less resources, has added vastly to cur
foreign commerce. greatly increased
the prosperity of the farmer and has
advanced American labor to the best
scale Of living ever attained. We op-
pose all attacks upon this policy,
whatever the pretext. as tending to
bring back the disastrous days OF
Democratic tariff revision and free
trade. Changing conditions and the
possible benefits OF reciprocity may
call for timely readjustment of sched-
ules. but protection as principle and
rs Q policy must be administered by
the friends OF American prosperity
and must not be sacrificed"
