Hanna to be his own successor. That
is so easy that if let alone it will do
it itself, but we are all going to help
do it. We are going TO do it because
Senator Hanna during the last six
years has rendered distinguished and
conspicuous service for his party and
his country in the senate of the
United States. thought as he stood
upon this platform yesterday how
differently he is regarded by his
countrymen to-day from what he
was when he went into the Senate.
At that time there was hardly a
newspaper in the country, not even
in his own party, that did not seem
to delight in saying unkind things
about him, cartooning him, abusing
him, lying about him. The storm
was such that only most uncommon
man could have withstood it, but he
was an uncommon man, and he did
withstand it: it did not hurt him
Conscious of his own strength, he
simply ''stood pat" hiding his time
1t was only a short time until he saw
virulent enemies turning to admirine
friends, he saw detraction and dis
paragement giving away to compli
ment and praise, and thus he wen'
on until he stands today in that body
in the very front rank of its most in
fiuentiai members and no one ther,
does more than he to fashion the pol
ioies of his party and detirmine th'
laws of the nation. And so we inten'
to keep on re-electing him from tim'
to time just as long as he lives, an'
we hope he may live forever.

''The third duty to which have re-
ferred is yet broader, more impor-
tant, more serious, but, if possible,
easier still, if anything could be
easier, and that is to elect Theodore
Roosevelt to be his own successor.
I'VE intend to do this because he.
like Senator Hanna, merits that
honor. He has fairly won it. He en-
tered upon the duties of the presi-
dency under the most trying circum-
stances. There were many who
doubted his ability to succeed, many
who predicted failure, but today It
can be truthfully said that he has
not only met. but he has surpassed
the most sanguine expectations
of his most confidential and most
ardent friends. The people of this
country have come to know him
because of the works he has done,
as man of brains, as =
man of courage, as a man of
purpose, as man who is fearless In
the discharge of his duty. Quick he
is of conception, as it has been said
quick on the trigger but it can also
be said that he is a sure shot. He
hits the bulls eye every time and he
will hit the bulls eve in 1904. / do not
hesitate to speak in this manner at
this time, because we are all agreed
that next year he is to be our candi-
date and that next year we will
triumphantly elect him to the presi-
dency to continue to administer Re
publican policies and bring honor and
glory to the nation. 1t is a subject
of congratulation, my friends, as we
here today enter upon the initial bat
tie of 1904, Republicans, not only of
this state, but of the whole country,
should be united, as they will be, up
on policies, purposes, aspirations and
ambitions. We are not halting or
doubling about any policy, we are not
divided about any questions; but look
at the ranks of Democracy broken.
Half of them don't know whether
they are yet for free silver or not,
Half of them don't know whether
they should be for free trade or
lagainst it; and as we are united about
Questions, SO, too, are we united about
candidates. the candidate for Govern
Tor, the candidate for Senator and the
candidate for Presidentwhile they are
not united anywhere upon anybody.
Bryan does not want. Cleveland, and
cleveland does not want Bryan, and
neither one of them wants anybody
else. But that is perhaps as well any
other way, for it doesn't make a bit
Iof difference who they nominate. We
will do as Senator Hanna suggested
: yesterday. We will declare anew oul
belief in our principles and purposes,
nominate our candidate and &c
: straight forward and if they don't
get out of the way, run over them

The most noted European authori-
ties on the wheat crop of the world
believe that the yield in Europe will
be about $1,000, 900 bushels less this
year then it was in 1902. They think
that the American harvest may ex-
coed that of last year by $50, 200. 900
bushels.
If these estimates shall be justified
by later knowledge there will be de-
cidedly less weat to supply the wants
of the world than there has been in
the crop year now ending, but the
farmers of the United States will
have much more of that grain to sell.
With larger deficits in the Europe
supply to make good and with an
record-breaking harvest assured in
, the United States, prices ought to be
at least fair, and the total market
value of the American wheat crop
should be the greatest ever known,
