OHIO REPUBLICANS FAVOR TAFT

The Ohio republican state conven.
ton this week nominated Warren G,
Harding, of Marion, formerly lieuten.
ant governor, for governor, and adopt
ed resolutions handsomely endorsing
President Taft and achievements of
the republican party. A portion of
the resolutions adopted were:
We, the republicans of Ohio, in the
state convention assembled, commend
| in highest terms the administration
of William Howard Taft, are proud of
the results he has already achieved
in hiS seventeen months in office, and
pledge him our hearty and united
support in his further efforts as chief
Executive of the nation. We renew
our pledge Of loyal support given him
in 1908, and endorse him for normina-
ton in 1912.
sAmong the many accomplishments
of President Taft's administration
worthy of special praise are:
Prosecution and conviction of
those implicated in the sugar frauds
against the government, and other vio-
lators of federal statutes; prompt and
successful intervention to prevent ar
bitrary increases in railroad freight
rates; effective enforcement of the
law against Illegal dealings in stocks;
indictment of those involved In the
cotton pool, formed to raise the price
of one of the necessities of life in
every American family; impartial en-
forcement of the antitrust laws; sub
stantial reduction in government ex-
penses, saving s1,OO0,0OO a month in
the postoffice department with a Z fair
promise of wiping out the annual
postal deficit; such remarkable pro-
gress in the construction of the Pan
ANA canal as insures its early COM
pletion; withdrawal from private en-
TRY in order to preserve for the pub
/ lie benefit valuable coal and other
mineral deposits, timber lands, and
water power sites, of over Il, 600, 900
acres of the public domain. It has
strengthened our prestige with foreign
nations, and has treated with vigor
and wisdom delicate international
problems.
1T has dealt justly and literally
with our dependencies. The record Of
achievement of this administration
and ififty-sixth congress is unequaled
in our history, and guarantees faith
full adherence to all the pledges Of the
last republican national platform.
The election of republican CON
gross next November is necessary to
accomplish the entire program of the
Taft administration.
'The tariff has been revised in ac-
cordance with republican doctrine of
protecting home industries and Amer
lean labor. 1t did not raise the rate
of duty on a single common food pro-
duct. The increases made were on
Injuries and articles not of ordinary
use. 1t affords no more than an ade-
quate protection to the Industries of
the nation, and is fair alike to con-
sumers, laborers and producers. No
tariff bill was more unjustly assailed.
1t has justified the expectations of it's
friends by turning national deficit
into surplus, while at the same time
reducing the average rate of all duties.
Its maximum and minimum rates have
operated to give us for the first time
equality of opportunity with other
nations in our foreign trade.
''The republican party through con-
gress and the president have given
free trade with the Philippines with
such limitations as to sugar and to-
bacco as will afford protection to do
nestle industries and has established
a customs court.
Recognizing inequalities due to
changing conditions or that otherwise
may be found to exist, congress has
provided tariff board, with an ample
appropriation, for the investigation OF
the differences in the cost of produc.
ton at home and abroad, SO that II
any rates are found to be higher than
necessary to afford abor a high wage
and capital a fair return, those rates
will be reduced"
