cordially promise him the undivided sup.

achievements compel popular approval.
Our state debt is Cancelled. the cash sur
plus in our treasury Is at record figures.
the state institutions were never more ell
or economically conducted, and
yet the state tax rate has been reduced by
half through republican laws. we favor
removing limitations which prevent q
more just system Of taxation:
"Ohio ought not to discriminate longer
against her own corporations thus cut
ting off possible revenues and other pene-
fits and we therefore favor and indorse
the amendment to remove the present
provision in our state constitution OF the
double liabilities Of stock holders.
I'VE also favor the ans ndments TO vest
the governor with the veto power.
The resolutions after reciting other state
needs takes up the question OF transpor-i
tation as follows:.s
1.-THE question OF transportation Ii one
OF the most important business problems
now before the American people Tor de-,
termination. The full utilization of our
inland waterways is demanded by all
business interests We therefore favor
the continued endeavor by the general
government OF Ohio to the end that a
naVigable stage Of water may be main
tained the entire year in all practicable
waterways.
Labor Legislation.
GAS republican legislation has always
provided work for those who would work,
while democratic free trade has produced
the opposite result, 80 the labor laws,
state and national, have been largely OF
republican origin. We favor their ex-
tension in every way equitable IN all,
particularly those designed to promote
harmonious conditions and to secure for
labor just recognition In the settlement
Of differences.
Public welfare demands this quite as
much as the interests Of employers and
employed. III
Better roads would save ohio's ciH
zens millions Of dollars yearly, and should
especially needed on account of the rural
free mail delivery system, for which the
demand Is now we'll nigh universal. In
augurated by republicans, democratic
administration refused it a trial. and re-
publicans have now proved its value. We
favor the extension of the system as
rapidly as possible wherever desired
| Public improvements have invariably
been favored by the republican party,
benefting the entire country many times
4 their cost. Every citizen interested in
better rivers and harbors, public high
ways, improved postal service. forest
preservation, flood prevention. the great
| isthmian canal, and other enterprises OF
like character has his rightful home only
in the republican party where progress
has never been opposed. F5

without dissenting republican vote In

opposition, attest the contrast between
I the parties In thisrespect and yet further
