CALL To SERVICE
Chairman of Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee Calls Republi-
cans of Ohio to Organize for Ser
vice-Splendid Platform and Tick
ct to Work For.

Edwin Jones the chairman of the
Ohio Republican State Executive
Committee has sent out an open let
ter to the Republicans of Ohio, we
are sorry we have not the space for
the entire letter this week but we are
doing the next best thing and that is
to publish what seems to us to be the
essential and important parts of it:
10 my Fellow Republicans of Ohio:
Having accepted the responsible
position of Chairman of the State
Executive Committee, l send out to
you fraternal and hearty greetings,
and also Fluctuations over the promis-
ing outlook for the victorious result of
the campaign upon which we have
Just entered.
When the Republicans of Ohio are
united, are in earnest, and are de-
termined, they are irresistible. This
year they present a solid front to
our opponents, and they are animat-
ed with a militant and enthusiastic
assurance of success. But we must
not permit ourselves to become the
victims of over-confidence. Let us
firmly hold to our present advantage,
and, after having strengthened our
let US then assume the ag-
gresive and force the issues-for the
tide of popular sentiment is unmis-
takably with the Republican Party
this year.
There is only one way by which the
Republicans of Ohio can neutralize
and defeat the battalions drawing
their sustenance from the public trea-
sury, and that is by ceaseless vigil
ance and thorough organization. Let
your watchword from now on be
Organization"
| call upon all County Chairmen
and Committmen to Immediately get
to work to perfect plans for COM
plete and thorough organization of
their respective territories, from the
precincts up And in this work ! beg
that all Republicans be invited to
participate, and that all former diff
erences be absolutely ignored and for
gotten for we are today united par
ty. We all stand for the great prin-
ciple of Protection, which has made
our country the foremost on earth in
everything that constitutes a pros
porous and happy nation.
The personnel of our candidates on
the state ticket and that of our candi-
dates for United States Senator, are
the highest types of American citizen
ship, and are CONSPICUOUS for possess
ing those qualities of leadership
which inspire confidence in a great
political contest. There is absolutely
no reason why our candidates should
not receive the vote and enthusiasts
tie support of every Republican in
Ohio.
Our State platform represents the
and matured judg-
ment of our party, and has already
met with general commentator and
approval.
ssThe ticket and platform and the
record of our party are positive
guarantees that under a resumption
of Republican rule Ohio will go
forward in the march along
sanely progressive lines, having as its
ideals economy, honesty and efficien-
cy in the administration of public
affairs; equality of obligation to meet
the financial requirement of govern
mental and public need, without in
justice to any section of our common
a recognition of the ever
growing call for improvement of the
social condition of the masses; en-
deavor to aid in the evolution of
equitable and harmonious relations
between capital and labor; the limita-
tion of Executive functions to their
legitimate and constitutional sphere
a restoration of representative gov
ernment; and a re-establishment of
local control over affairs in the two
special instances where this principle
has been most conspicuously violat-
ed:-as to the appointment of tax as
SCISSORS and of county license boards
by the State Executive.
Yours respectfully and sincerely,
EDWIN JONES,
Chairman Ohio Republican State
Executive Committee
