or by any other device, and favor such
further Legislation on that subject, with
adequate penalties, as may, after full in
vestigaton, seem to the republican Con-
gress and administration wise and con-
servative, yet adequate to prevent unfair
advantage to any. and to promote and in
sure the rights of all individuals, inter
ests and localities.
No nation has ever known such wide
spread prosperity as the United States has
enjoyed since the restora ton of the repub-
lican party to power by Mckineys cleo
ton. Wage-earnerS have had more work
at better pay, farmers have had the best
home markets, making the merchants pros
porous, the factories busy and all com
merce and transportation thrive. With
sound money protection and other prudent
republican legislation comfort and happi-
ness have come to American homes, and
no step should be taken that may imperi
or threaten our good times. All are con-
sumers and producers, and must stand or
fall together.
Ohio Shared in Prosperity.
Ohio has fully shared in the national pros
perity, growing in population and power,
wealth and general comfort. Under con-
tinued republican administration our state
affairs have been conducted with economy
and efficiency, rivaling the best manage
ment of private business
The platform then goes on at considerable
length to detail the benefits which, it af-
firms, have come to the people of the state
through republican administration, specify
ing many legislative enactments which, it
declares, have produced these results. In
the interest of capital and Labor a state
board of arbitration has been established
ito aid in preserving industrial peace" and
lin labor's behalf the republicans have also
enacted many beneficial laws"
The platform continues:
From Lincoln to Roosevelt, every repub
lican elected President was a soldier son of
Ohio, and their comrades have had rightful
preference in elective and appointive positions
at the hands of the republican party. That
Ohio is a state of soldiers is shown by the
fact that in distributing the vast benefits
under the federal pension laws passed by
republicans the Ohio agency ranks among
the first, and also by our liberal state laws
for soldiers. The republican pension sys-
TEN and all laws for our nations defenders
and their dependents should be generously
maintained and administered
For Good Roads and Canals.
The present republican legislature pro-
vided for beginning the undermining of
Ohio's existing canals. In line with this
policy, and recognizing the rivers and har-
bors of the country as important factors in
the continued commercial growth of our
nation, we favor increased and regular ap-
propriations by Congress for their improve
ment.
State and national aid for building good
roads is declared essential The thorough
revision and Strengthening of the banking
laws of the state is favored
The resolutions congratulate the state
upon giving to the cabinet of President
Roosevelt two of his most capable and val
liable associates, and also upon the fact
N "a in q
United States Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives maintains Ohio's high rank in the
national legislature. We urge that del
egation, in it's support of President RooSa-
velt's administration and of republican pol
icies, shall be upheld by the vote of Ohio
in November"
The platform praises the character and
ability of the candidates nominated today,
and concludes:
We rightly renominate for governor Ny
ron 7. Herrick. not merely to follow wise
custom, but because of honest, efficient,
busness-lke administration entities him to
