Columbus, May y25.-Imnlediately up-
on reconvening today the Ohio repub-
| lican state convention made the tenn
porary organization permanent. The
above ticket was nominated by accla-
nation.
| Senator Dick read the platform
which was unanimously adopted.
| "The republicans Of Ohio, in state
convention representing their largest
vote, rejoicing with our entire country
in the election of Roosevelt, and Fair
banks, renew their pledge to uphold
! the principles and policies decisively
| victorious in November last, which by
their success maintain steady progress
and national prosperity. BY 600,095
votes, and the unprecedented plurality
Of 255,421 given Roosevelt, Ohio obli-
gated her citizenship to sustain him
and the republican congress chosen to
cooperate with him in carrying into
effect the pledges and promises Of the
republican platform, upon which they
were elected. We reaffirm unequivo-
cally the republican state and national
platforms of 1904. We stand by the
principles of protection to American
labor and American industries. We
| believe that congress should so legis-
late that American shops with Ameri-
can sailors shall carry American
products over all the seas and thru the
Panama canal that the United States
is building.
1.-THE American navy should be made
| and Kept equal to every need. We are
proud of the steady progress in Ameri-
voiv ic1o nd of
our country's great and growing power
! in promoting the peace of the world.
Amendments to the constitution are as
sacred as the original instrument. The
| sacredness of the ballot must be main
tanned and unjust discrimination,
based directly or indirectly on race,
color, or previous condition, must not
be tolerated. Always supporting gem
uine progress, evolution not revolu-
ton, liberty not license, the republican
party continues to oppose every insid-
ious device to undermine and destroy
the stability of our civil institution.
"Roosevelt's comprehensive enforce
| ment Of republican laws against mo-
nopolies, combines and trusts in re-
traint of trade, laws whose validity the
supreme court Of the United States
has sustained, has our hearty encour-
agement and support. We also endorse
every effort for active enforcement of
existing laws to stop all unjust dis
examinations and special favors in the
form of railway rebates or by any
other device, and we favor such fur
ther legislation on that subject with
adequate penalties as may, after full
| investigation, seem to the republican
congress and administration wise and
conservative. yet adequate to prevent
| unfair advantage to any, and to pro-
mote and insure rights Of all individ-
uals, in all localities.
"No nation has ever known such
widespread prosperity as the United
States has enjoyed since the restora-
ton of the republican party to power
by McKinley's election. Wage earn
ers have had more work at better pay
and farmers have had the best home
markets, making merchants prosper
Gus, factories busy, all commerce and
transportation thrive. With sound
money, protection and other prudent
republican legislation comfort and
happiness have come to American
homes and no step has been taken
that may imperil or threaten our
good times"
The remainder of the platform is
devoted to state affairs in which Her
rick's administration, the state legis-
lature and the congressional delega-
ton is highly commended and en-
dorsed.
