The Washington times., 1905-05-24

The platform and slate will be adopted
tomorrow. The platform will praise the
President and stand by his administra-
tive acts, without being too specific
about il; will adhere to the protective
tariff and make no declaration for re-
vision; no specific utterance on Panama,
and win stand stout for the State ad-
ministration of Governor Herrick.
The following slate will be nominated
by acclamation.

Cuyahoga cour.ty: for lieutenant COVER
nor, a I. Harris, of Preb1e county, who

urer of State, W. s. Mekinnon, OF Ash
ia buia county; for board Of public
works, William Kirtley. jr., Of Defiance
county.

Foraker Is Outgeneraied.
After the leaders hal nIpped in the
bud the attempt Of Senator Foraker To
seize the old Hanna machine through
defeating Governor Herriek for renoIn-
ination with present Lieutenant Cover
nor Warren G. Harding, the same lead
ers succeeded in soaring some ten can
didates for the lieutenant gosernorship
nomination off the track and stating
Harris without opposition. In the dis
trict meeting the Diek-Cox-Herrick fac
ton had no trouble in retaining control
of the State central committee, the gov
erning body Of the party.
A significant thing about the conven-
| ton is The absence OF Senator ]. B.
Foraker and Representative Charles H
Grosyenor Foraker sent word that he
was too busy TO come and for the first
time in years Grosvenor was left off his
home delegation from Athens county
Grosvenor some time ago said Foraker
would be the logical candidate of Ohio
for the Presidency.
Secretary Taft was escorted TO the
platform amid voeiferous cheering, and
being introduced to the convention, said:
| Fellow Republicans of Ohio: I con-
gratulate you on the prosperous political
calm in which you meet. The tremen-
| d0us victory of last fall so stunned our
ancient enemy. the Democracy, that as
| a party 1t is hardly even now showing
| any sign of life. When a President like
Theodore Roosevelt, a consistent and
! orthodox Republican, is welcomed with
! bufsts of enthusiastic and personal ad-
| n-iration H. Texas, and in the Demo-
| cratic Iroquois Club of Chicago, we may
we'll lken the present TO the era OF
| political good feeling which prevailed
| early in the last century,
! Declaring that lit is perhaps a work
| of superero ogation TO recall what has
| Thought about such u remarkable state
| OF things. Judge Taft explained that
/ nevertheless ii was proper to keep in
! mind what eommend5 a party to the
people and what destroys its popular in
! ffUeace and control" He then discussed
/ at length the campaigns of 1896. 1900, and
| 1904.
..,rhe attitude of the Democracy In the
| last campaign said Mr.. Taft, made
Roosevelt in that h., was neither pluto
| crat nor a 'mobocrat,' that he was
neither for the rich man because he was
| rich, nor for the poor because he was
poor but that he was for each because
! he was Il feliow-American and entitled
| IL equal opportunities and equal pro-
| lection Of the law or to what in no
ambiguous phrase he called square
