OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 31.-Sena-
tor Charles Dick Of Ohio and Elmer
Dover, secretary Of the Republican Ma
tional committee, made joint pilgrim
age to Sycamore Hill today, President
Roosevelt discussed with them for two
hours the political situation in Ohio.
Aside from the advantages of the dis
cussion the simple fact that Senator
Dick was guest at Sycamore Hill and
came away bearing the President IS e1-
preston Of enthusiastic desire for har
mony and success in the coming Con-
gressional campaign is regared as a
political occurrence which will have de-
cided weight in the Republican situa-
tion in Ohio. 1t has been said in Ohio
that Senators Foraker and Dick do not
stand for the Roosevelt administration,
and this report bid fair to cause at least
a degree OF trouble. It has now been
from Senator Dick have meaning:
Will Stand By Administration.
'FIt is safe to make one prediction,
that President Roosevelt g administra-
tion and the work of Congress will re-
ceive sincere and enthusiastic indorse"
ment in the Ohio Republican platform, -
Senator Dick has for many years
made the first draft OF the State plat
form, and this was one of the particu-
lar topics of his talk with the President
today.
Besides the strong Endorsement of the
President, with which the Ohio platform
is to be featured, there is to be a
''stand-pat'' declaration regarding the
tariff. Gen, Dick expressed himself free
tically impossible for the sixtieth Con Con
gress to revise the tariff, b" he remarked.
" Besides, it would be decidedly bad
political sense. There has never been
an exception to the occurrence that
whom a political party in control Of

that election. The present tariff law,
known as the Dingley law, has produced

ing Mckinley, its greatest champion,

count of changing conditions sooner or

Senator Dick then gave his reasons
for saying that the Republican political
outlook In Ohio at the present moment
is decidedly better than it was a year
ago. Herrick, he said, was defeated for
reelection MS Governor largely if not
entirely on the temperance question
This question is not now factor. The
defeat Of Herrick had n salutary effect
on Ohio Republicans. 1t had undoubt-
edly brought them to realization that
they could not be split up by dissen-
sions and win Mt election time.
