permanently establish good feeling and
commercial union between kindred peo-
pies. We shall find a rapidly increasing

deepen and widen the sources of our food
supply in territory close at hand.
Our kinship, our common sympafhies,
our similar moral and social ideas. fur
nish the strongest reason for supporting
this agreement.
Canada is our neighbor for 5000 miles.
We have not always acted toward her
in a manner most conciliatory or with
due regard to her sensibilities. She has
become a great country-indeed. a nation.
She causes US to use no forts or battle
ships. She does not attack us and never
will. She extends the brotherly hand Of
friendship and proposes closer relations
with mutual benefits. Ought We to de-
cline? The last words of Mckinley urge
acceptance. l am proud as a son of Ohio
to bring forward for approval and efrec-
tive action a measure carrying out the
policy which he proclaimed and made
his own at the acme Of his great career"
