Columbus. O., June 3.-The Auditorium was packed today long before J. B. Clfn- german. chairman of the State Central Committee, called the Republican State Convention to order at p. m.
 Ex-Governors Foster and Bushnell, members of Congress and of the Legis- lature, and other prominent Republicans, were in waiting on the stage. Governor Nash sat with the Franklin County dele gates. Ovattons were rendered leaders as they entered the hall, notably Senators Hanna and Foraker and Myron T. Her rick. and when Senatr Hanna was intro duced as temporary chairman. the dem- onstration was long and loud.
 Prayer was offered by Rev. J. c. Jack son, pastor of the Eastwood Congrega- tional Church.
 Chairman Clingerman, in introducing the temporary chairman of the conven- ton, said:
 Gentlemen of the Convention: It would be absurd on my part to attempt to in- troduce to an audience of Ohio Repub- hcans your temporary chairman. There are no more words of praise that may be said of him. Everybody knows him and loves him. Therefore, without taking fur ther time. I now have the pleasure of presenting to you your temporary chair man, the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna
 
 Senator Hama said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: congrat- ulate the Republican Party of Ohio upon this splendid representative body and I speak for the Republican Party of Ohio the wish that your deliberations will be governed by good judgment and proper spirit"
 After praising Governor Nash and de- claring that Ohio had been unusually in fhA Hf 0Od 0d fnfe ct faf1 by Republican Governors, Senator Hanna continued: '--. %
 .'What can be said of Ohio can be said Of our nation. Republicans today c4s1 com eratnlate themselves that in the direc- lion of national affairs they have real ized all they hoped for and all they ex- pected in the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. We look back but a few short months. when that heroic young man, standing under the gloom of that awful tragedy at Buffalo. feeling and appreci- ating the responsibilities which had come upon him, and in the presence of the American people, made that sacred prom ise to them that to the best of his abil- 3ty. with his heart full of desire. it should be hls aim to carry out the policies of President Mckinley.
 "Young Heroic President"
 And how we'll he has succeeded, we all know; and we all feel-as this con- vention will express-an appreciation of that administration. We all reailze to that young heroic President is due as coming from his heart, the most patri- otic, unselfish and energetic devotion to the interests of the people and the prin- ciples of his party. Standing in the pres ence of the American people and hearing those words. the solemn import of which indelibly impressed itself upon all who stood rear him, no enc can doubt his :no- tives or even his ambition. No one can place him in the category of a man whose ambition IS greater than his patriotism The dominant idea expressed by Sena- tor Hanna with regard to national policies was that the Republican Party can go be- fore the country on it's record of protec- Sion for American industries and national prosperity He said
 "The Republican Party laid the foun- dation stone. Human liberty and protec~ tion to American industries and the American workinman are placed in the sacred archives of our country's history and furnish its foundation stone. And since that time, stone by stone, has been added to that structure, ever as hard and indestructible as granite itself; and as it was raised year by year. tried by experience. encouraged by success, today standing here in the presence of this great audience, let me point to that mag
 
 principles of the Republican Party and let the party write the inscription upon its base in letters that all who run may read. Hands off (prolonged applause. the delegates rising to their feet and cheering vociferously)
 A Hanna Metaphor.
 '"Time and patience have builded that structure. The blood and sweat of our best usbandry has contributed to it. If haxr r1T "a nf the twentieth century Is to be a continua- ton of Republican prosperity. let those who were the workingmen upon that edi- flee stand guard The people of the whole country are onlookers this day and tomor- row and are watching with eagerness the result of the principles announced and the policies to be tried which shall have their direct influence and effect upon the campaign of 1904. Is there any body in this great audienc-aye Is there anybody in the State of Ohio, who hesi- tates for one moment, under the condi- tions which have gone before, under the environment of the present, under the the hopes of the future to see one single cause as to why the Republican Party should change one iota In those prin- ciples?
 Human liberty, protection to American industries and our workingmen We start ed with that slogan many years ago. It sswent forth and reached the hearts of ev- lery eside In the land and if we needed any additional tribute or any accessory to add to the luster of that monument, it would be the continuation of happiness and contentment percept!ble everywhere around us. I once said let well enough alone' For Gods sake. Keep letting 1t alone" (Applause.)
