 Ohio. MIR. BURROWS FINE EFFORT Foraker Takes Floor of Convention
 for Colleague. Republicans of state of Mckinley and Hama After TumuItuous Com vention, Select Junior splon as Committee Chairman. 

United States Senator CnarleS LUCK won a decisive victory as Republican leader in Ohio at the State Convention here today, but he knew that there had been a contest for the Chairman ship of the State Executive Commit ten.
 Involved in the fight was the ques- tion of an endorsement both for Pres ident Roosevelt and for the two Ohio Senators who had not always agreed in the matters of nation with the President and here also Senator Dick won, since the Senators were given commendation in every way equal to that given the President.
 However, Congressman Burton or Cleveland and Harry M. Daugherty or Columbus, who had waged honorable warfare on the State Chairman. did not go to defeat without a gallant struggle, but fought to the last and accepted their present defeat as brave. good soldiers.
 Afer the smoke of the real fight had blown away the delegates settled down to the business for which the Convention had been called, nominat- ing a State ticket, headed by Carmi Thompson of Ironton, present Speaker of the House of Representatives as candidate for Secretary of State. When Temporary Chairman Herrick called the Republican State Conven- ton to order today there was gen. eral anticipation of a warm session. Although the question of State Ex- ecutive Chairmanship had been set tied at last nights meeting of tae new State Central Committee, the an l ti-Dick forces were not entirely ready | to admit defeat and continuation or | the contest on the floor of the con yention in some form was looked Tor by delegates and spectators. The action of the resolution com mittee at the night session was gen orally known, but 1t was not known what form the expected surprise wonlo l take.
 i The report of the committee on cre- l dentials was presented developing a l fight in Tuscarawas county an at | tempt was made to amend the com | mfttee's report by dividing the vote, between the contestants. On roll call the amendment carried and the report was adopted The report was'
 Platform Adopted. The report of the Resolutions Com mittee was as follows:
 For fifty years the Republican Par ty has commanded the confidence of | the American people by its patriotism, by it's ability to deal wisely with great public questions and by the moral cour- l age of It's leaders.
 Tn the complete control of national aafsirs. we have lifted the country from the deepest financial depression to un- | exampIed prosperity and won for the republic tke pre-eminent place among the nations of the earth.
 eve have re-estabIished the McKin- lev tariff, firmly established the gold standard; removed burdensome taxa ton; reduced the public debt; un- l sheathed the sword in behalf of the | oppressed; established peace and order in the Philippines; dealt justly and iberAlly with our soldiers and sail- ors; prosecuted wrong -doers in the pub lie service, wherever found: ccrhed the undue power of corporations; inaugur- ated the Panama Canal and promoted | peace among the nations of the earth.
 '"rhe sudden summons of Governor | Andrew L. Harris to the GoVernorship | of Ohio found him fully prepared by ability and extended public service, sincerity of purpose, devotion to duty and genuine independence. His admin istration and the administration of the State officials merit the approval of | the people of Ohio.
 "The Republican policy f protection must be sacredly maintained. It is the foundation of our gratifying and un- l paralIeled prosperity and commercial eminencG. Eventual correction of schedules along protective lines must be made by the Republican Party whose devotion to the policy of Amer | ican markets for American industry Is | the guaranty of the confidence of the manufacturing world.
 1 Party and MOnOpOIIes.
 "The Republican Party has enacted all the effective legislation in restraint of monopolies. trusts and unlawful com pines and prevent railway and their | trade determinations and will provide such further enactments as experience proves necessary for correction of pri- l vate or corporate abuses. We rejoice In the awakening of public consclence to the dangers of inordinate wealth lawlessly used along with that whole. some public opinion that is made ef- | fective in the fearless enforcement oi the law.
 We most heartily approve and en. dorse Theo10re Roosevelt and his ad. mlnistration of public affairs. True tC the principles of tho Republican Party as enunciated at Chicago ir 1904. he has more than met and fulfilled ou highest expectations. His sagacitv patriotism, commanding honesty ant courage and his lofty ideals of public duty and of private citizenship hay,
 won for him a unique place in the con.
 hdence and regard of the American
 
 We express our renewed confidence in his ability, his patriotism, his pur, and hlghminded devotion to the inter ests of the whole people. To him he. longs the principal credit for the long list of benefcent laws enacted at the last session of congress. and We are proud of his leadership and pledge hin our loyal support in the future as in
 the past.
 ITO carry out the policies which mark his administration and to enable him to complete the mission the AnIeri. can people entrusted to him two years lnRo. 1t is lmperatively necessary that he bD aided by a Republican Congress. A hostile house of representatives would thwart his high aims and embsrrass the
 policies to which he is committed.
 Endorse the Senators.
 'we most heartily and without re-
 serve approve and endorse our distin- guished Senators. Joseph Benson For. , aker and Charles Dick. Ohio's repre-, , sentatives in the Senate have ever helt
