Dayton. o., Sept 12.-When Tenn
porary Chairman Herrick called the
state convention to order
today, there was anticipation of a
warm session A few minutes be-
fore the convention met, the commit
tee on resolutions completed its re-
port, altho there was believed to be
still possibility of minority re-
port.
James Holcome, of Cuyahoga coun-
ty, moved that ut be the sense of the
that Senator Dick be re-
quested to resign and decline to act
as chairman of the state committee"
Congressman Burton spoke vigor-
ously in support of the motion. SEN
ator Foraker opposed the motion. The
was in a turmoil as he con-
cluded. The motion was lost.
Governor Harris permanent chair
man, was given a particularly cordial
greeting. He said:
Our duty today is to waive personal
in the interest of party
principles. BY getting together now,
such normal conditions would prevail
as to secure the continuance of re-
publican prosperity. We are told that
there is no way of judging the future
but by the past, that history repeats
itself. If we want to profit by our ex-
perience, we should remember that
when the republicans pulled together,
they never failed to carry Ohio, and
that the results in off years We're due
to lack of harmony. The conditions
that confronted the party during the
all realize that they are not normal.
The people of Ohio do not trust the
democratic party, and never have
trusted it. Never since the republican
party came into power, have the peo-
pie of Ohio entrusted the democratic
party with any continuance of power,
and no democratic governor or any
other state officer of Ohio ever re-
ceived popular endorsement for a sec
ond term, since the formation of the
republican party. The grand old par
ty always met the fullest expectations
of all republicans, but when spells
disaffection resulted in democratic
success, the people invariably got
enough change with one term.
"On the other hand, the republicans
have been entrusted with power for
decades and longer, in succession. 1t is
up to this convention to have its action
conform to the normal conditions of
the party. With harmony, sincere
harmony, real harmony, republican
success Is "a assured"
The Resolutions.
For fifty years the republican party
the confidence of the Am
erican people by it's patriotism, it's
ability to deal wisely with great public
questions and by the moral program
Of it's leaders.

deepest financial depression to unex>
ampled prosperity, and won for the re-
public pre-eminent place among the
nations of the earth. We established
the Mckinley tariff; firmly established
the gold Standard; removed burden
some taxations; reduced the public
debt; unsheathed the sword in behalf
of the oppressed; established peace and
order in the Philippines; dealt justly
and literally with our soldiers and sail-
ors; prosecuted wrongQoers in public
service wherever found; curbed undue
power of corporation; inaugurated the
Panama canal; promoted peace among
the nations of the earth. In the adj
of state affairs we have
been equally successful. The repub-
lican policy of protection must be sa-
credly maintained and eventual correc-
ton of schedules along protective lines
must be made"
The republican party has enacted all
the effective legislation in restraint Of
trusts and unlawful COM
bines, and to prevent railway and 9TH
er determinations, and will provide
such further enactments as experience
proves necessary for the correction of
private corporate abuse. We most
heartily approve and endorse Theodore
and his administration of
public affairs. His sagacity, patriotism,
honesty and courage have won for him
a unique place in the confidence Of the
American people.
We most heartily endorse our dis
senators. Ohios represen-
tatives in the senate have ever held a
commanding position among states
men The platform was adopted.

tute planks for the tariff revision, and

NJ. Pattison. He was a loyal and de-
voted son of Ohio, always had at
heart the best interests of the state.
The convention directs Mrs. Pattison
