Mr.. Herrick thanked the convention for

Now, as for forty years since the be-
ginning Of the republican era in Ohio, the
country has looked to her for guidance and
example. The Ohio idea has been para
mount not only in the councils of the re-
publican party, but in the nation itself.
while the republican party and its prin-
ciples have become practically the incar-
nation of the country.
"Ohio's work is fateful work. She Is
the personification of all lofty ideals of
craftsmanship and good government. In
the past she has spoken through the re-
THE country awaits for our decision.
and by the adoption of our resolutions the
word goes out that we still believe in
calmness and conservative action.
Favor Extreme in Nothing.
I'VE favor the extreme in nothing. We
are for no fads or isms, no matter whence
they come or by whom they are cham
pioned. Republican nonsense is as danger
Gus to the body polite as any other kind.
Untried and INFESTED theories of govern
ment or conduct should find no place In
our category of principles. The sails OF
the republican party in this state have
never been trimmed to catch the passing
breeze and it has never floated a double
flag.
Let US. therefore, continue to steer a
middle course and retain our position as
the settling ground between the sections,
a clearing house of issues, an arbiter be-
tween east and the west.
The remainder of Mr. Herrick's speech
was devoted to state affairs.

Hanna Changed Man.
Senator Hanna is a changed man. He
showed it yesterday in his talk to the con-
vention. He lacked the old masterful DOM
ineering disposition.
He spoke as a man who was uncertain
of his audience and not altogether sure
how he was to be received
Everybody has been trying to stir up
trouble between him and the Foraker fac
ton. and he feels that the rank and file
are likely to turn him as soon as they
suspect that he is down.
He is looking constantly for the first evil
dence of diSaffection.
His enemies assduously circulate the
idea that he Is at odds with the President
and that Senator Foraker is the represen-
tative of the administration.
Not Down Yet by Any Means.
But Senator Hanna is not down yet by
any means. He has organized the state
committee. and it is a cast-iron Hanna
OTSanlZatlOn- he Will De senator Tor SIX
years.
His man Herrick will be governor and
his political legatee.
George Cox, the Cincinnati boss, won his
fight for his friend Harding The Foraker
men claim a victory. and say that an in
tended slap at Foraker has been avoided.
When Senator Hanna introduced Senator
Foraker as the permanent chairman of the
convention today the rival leaders stood
side by side, with their arms over each
others shoulders and smiling blandy,
while the convention cheered itself hoarse
at the spectacle of apparent harmony thus
presented.
Showered Compliments on Hanna.
Senator Foraker in his address to the
convention went out of his way to say
complimentary things about his colleague,
and fairly showered compliments upon him,
while the Junior senator behind him sat
embarrassed and blushing. N 0. M.
