 Hazfy for Taft.
 '-rhe improvement In our relations with the Philippines ia attested by the reduc- ton of our administration to the lowest legal limit. Education and enlighten- ment under broadmined administrative policy Is gradually obviating the necessity for control through military power and we commend the rapid and steady pro- gress in the preparation of che Philip pines for the fullest practicable degree of self-government.
 ''In this connection we voice the grate- full acknowledgment of the .iation for the splendid services in the Philippines of that distinguished son of Ohio, Gov ernor General w.. H. Taft.
 For Larger Navy.
 Under President Roosevelt our foreign policy of equity to all has made the United States the peacemaker of the world. guarding weaker nations from ag- greesion and giving the Monroe doctrine O vital force greater than ever before.
 ''As America's part in preserving the peace of the world, we endorse the Re- publican policy of developing the navy to the highest efficiency and we favor every encourage nent possible of our ncr- chant marine In the extension of Ameri- can ships upon every sea.
 ''The protective tariff policy of the Republican party has made the United States the greatest industrial nation, astonished the world with the tremendous development of our bounteous resources, has added vastly to our foreign com merce: has great increased the prosperity of the farmer and has advanced American labor to the best scale of living ever at- tained. We oppose all attacks upon this policy, whatever the oretext as tending to bring back the disastrous days of Demo- cratic tariff revision and free trade.
 Touching the Trusts.
 ''Combinations for the monopoly of trade and kindred unlawful purposes are directly amenable to penalties provided by Republican legislation. and their vigorous enforcement In the courts. No worthy interest is imperilled, but whatever will work public harm Is restrained and that without resort to the Democratic plan of destroying all American industries through tariff revision or otherwise It further legislation should be necessary. the Republican party can be depended upon to enact and enforce 1t with equality and safety in every legitimate interest.
 'sThe Republican party restored the national credit after it was nearly de- stroyed by the Democratic party, and having maintained. defended and ad- vanced 1t to the highest in the world with every dollar of full value. and having given to the people the only banking system that operates uniformly every where without loss and at lowest cost. should now endeavor within safe lines to stimulate local bank circulation thus securing an elasticity of currency supply commensurate with businsss demands. and we favor well guarded legislation to this end.
 A Significant Expression.
 .ohio was the first State with soil for ever free from the stain of slavery. Pledged to the Fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty and bound thereby to forever remain a part of the United States of America, Ohio was fore most in the war to preserve the indes- tructflole 1aon of indestructi5le States, and adheres firmly to every amendment which that war wrote into our country { constitution as binding In honor upon every American citizen.
 Therefore we hold fast to the doctrine of equity everywhere in the exercise ot elective franchise, maintaining thai justice requires that any State excluc ine any of it's citizens from the ballot to be approximately reduced in It's represen- tations in the electoral college and the lower house of the National Congress
