OHXTIjKMKN of thk conven TION: Our iipproachlng elecllon will be the most Important held this year In the 1'nlied States. It is but a state election In name, but it will le distinctively na tional In both character and Import ance. The administration of Governor Nash has been so wine, so economical, so Just, and so efficient that It at.inda absolutely without criticism. There !s no liue with respect to It, and none can b- made. Tho last general assem bly was a model., It enacted only wise laws, and In every way guarded ihe publlo welfare. Our state Institutions ai'o .til In excellent condition and thi' financial affairs of the state were never more satisfactory. If. therefore, only state officers and state questions were Involvnl we could be safely content to point to thi' record ami claim the peo ple's verdict. But more Is ar stake vastly more and therefore we see the signs of coming battle and must ex pect determined opposition. The legislature chosen this year will be charged with the duty of electing a United States senator and re-distrlct-Ing the state for representation In eon gress. We now have two Republican senators and seventeen Republican members In the House of Representa tives. If the next legislature should be Democratic, we will have but one sen ator and nut more than twelve lie rmMlcan rutiffrcMiiii-n, an) probably not more than fn the mim! r we were allowed the last time a I'in icrallr legislature gerrym indered the :ate and this reduced representation In lh national Mou.e of Il'-prcnentatlvej would be fastened upon us, not simply for the next congress, but for the next ten years, making a net loss to us of not e than twenty-five votes Jn con gr for the next decade. It Is this fa'-t that gives ihe campaign upon which we are enlerlng Its national character, and thrusts upon us, whi th er w w .iuld have It so or not, the dis cussion and consideration of national politic and national qu"S'lins; ant it Is for this reason th,t ery vote cast In our stale next November will be a vote for or against the administration of William Mi Klnley, Just a, certainly and emtdi i:!. ally as though he were agi'n our candidate ih! yiar is he was Ut'; f ir e mut of nn-rsslty, by the a 'tlmi i f take, endorse his work and give him encouragement or discredit his record and embarrass hl efforts. Ills flrt administration whs tr!um,ih smlv aucc-asful, but I: could n r. haw been so hid It not been supported by a It-'publican rongress.. Ills svon J ad nilnitriilini cun t". and will be, even more Illustrious than lh- first If we give him that s,tme supp irt, but It cannot b'. and will Mt b so. Jf we withhold It. All this might be truthfully aald as to iti election of members of congress from any m o. but It l particuurly true when sp ken of Ohio. This Is the president's nn state. In population, wealth. Intelligence, jnd In fluence we stand In the very forefront. Ohio repre-nis the average scn:;nvnt of all the stat-s. When she siH-aks the whole country' gives heed. Our Influ ence affects tl.e president, affectn con gress, af-e'a public opinion, affects public policies, determines public ques tions, and promotes or retards the pub lic welfare. The aehlevjmenls of the past four years are s'UI In large meas ur Incomplete and Insecure. We have uncxampl-d prosperity, but a Perr.o. rratk- wave would bllgkt It. We have unhearJ of combinations of capital against which the rights of the people must be guarded without disstroylng our Interests, or retaining our develop, m-nt. We have added new lustre to our arms, and new glory u our flag, but an application of Democratic policies would tarnish the one and dim the other. We have expmded our limits' advanced our Jurisdiction, and assum ed new responsibilities, but Democratic ascendancy t this time would mean abandonment, retreat, and national hu miliation. This Is no) lmiglnatlon but serious fact. The record shows It. Since our legislation took effect pro ductions have Increased, business has multiplied, the demand for labor has grown, waires have advanced, schools are rapl lly 'nctvaslng. and the hearts of the people have been warmed with affection towards our flag and gladden ed w ith visions and hopes hertofore un known. Although our law provided for the collection of duties on certain article of commerce between Porto Rico and the I'nlted States until March 1. 1902. our success has been so complete that already a special sesion of thte legisla ture of Porto Rico has been called to meet on the 4th of July to pass a reso lution declaring the collection of rev enue no longer necessary and thus make 1: the duty of the president to Issue his proclamation giving Porto Rico absolute free trade with the Unit ed States. What the supreme court decided was that all this was within the power of congress, and that it must be upheld and enforced. That decision will never b reversed. Men may denounce it and rave about It. but as the years go by Its wisdom, beneficence and sound Judgment will stand out more and more conspicuously. It hss come at an opportune moment. The grat w.rk of the hour Is the es tablishment of a stable and successful government In the Philippines. Had the DJmocratle view prevailed this would have been Impossible. The way is now cl.'ar and well defined. We can go forward Intelligently. This Is not a mere political matter. It Is also a prac tical business question, affecting all classes of the American people, and no class, more directly than our wage workers, We have reached a point in our Industrial development where we produce mre than we consume. We must find markets for the surplus, or quit producing It. We cannot restrict without cutting down the pay roll. That Is one thing the Republican parly never shortens, but always lengthens. We can get partial relief by tariff re vlslr.n and reciprocity treaties with Ku ropean and South American countries, but the greatest narketa of the world are In the Far East. We want our fair share of them, and Intend to have It. and the way to secure It ,s not to haul down the flag and run away, but to re main and hold on to the position, the prestige, the advantage and the op portunities that we now enjoy. When men talk about overthrowing the supreme court decisions In the Porto Rlcan cases, they are striking also at the Philippines and are raking Issues that not only affect the vital character of our government, but also (Continued on page two.) RUIN WROUGHT IS MOST APPALING Cloudburst in Virginia Did Great Damage to Property. FATALITIES GETTING LESS Member el Llvei Lett Ethanes' it. Leu Tksi Ose Haas-res Latest State liest Frost Ose of lk Rail rest' Officials. HUNTINGTON. W. Vs., June H The tremendous high water In the Tug rlvT caused by the cloud burst along the headwaters of that sir. am on Sat urdey Is a thing unprecedented In the history of this s-ctlon and the d'mruc tlon of iTii-rty along Klkhorn and Dry Fork and down the Tug river to Its mouth, Is appalling. The clouiMiurst occurred near th headwaters of Klkhorn and Dry Fork nvers, who confluence near Welch form the main Tug river. Klkhorn, which to trav?rsed by the Norfolk & Wesfrn railway for a distance of about twenty mll was by far the highest, and It la reported that for a distance of more than ten miles the road Is practically a wreck and sever' ai days will be required to repair the great damage. Along the coal regions of the Klkhorn, and numerous big plants lower down, b-x cars were swept away in the rushing flood and lodged against the rugged mountain sides. All the numTiu, lumber plants are great loners, to the extent, conservatively lmated at a million and a balf. . At lager Statlin the river rose to thirty one feet Inside of three hours, deluging every house In he little town. Higher up the river the destruction Is said to be even greater. It is Im possible to approximately estimate the lues of life. Early reports sent out in dicate that It had been very great, but each subsequent report has lowered the number. It is safe to say that less than a hundred have perished and possibly only one-fourth of that number have been lost. FIFTY BODIES FOUND. Thousands of People Rendered Home leas In Pocahontas Region. RLUE FIELDS, W. V., June 21.-De-talls of the fearful rbod In the Poca hontas top flat region are slowly drift ing In and reports fully bear out the fears early entertained as to the havoc wrough: by the storm. Fifty dead bod ies have been found. Thousands of people are homeless. There Is little hope of sending the sufferers sucor until railroad connec tion Is restored. The dead are being augmented hourly. Over 100 miles of track belonging to the various coal operations are practically lost. RAILROAD MAN'S STATEMENT. Damage to Property and Loss of Life Are Exaggerated. ROANOKE. Pa.. June 24.-A short statement, made tonight by one of the general officers of the Norfolk & West ern railway summarising the flood sit uation In the light of the latest dis patches, wos given to the Associated Press: "The restoration of the telegraph line develops that the damage by the flood through the coal fields was ex aggerated. The loss of life will not exceed 60 or 75 and the damage to prop erty. Including repairs to the railroad and coal operations, will not exceed JT.OO.OOO. I; Is expected the railway will get the line ipenl through tomorrow or next day. HAY'S NEW TREATY. The Secretary Will Frame Another to Replace Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. WASHINGTON. June 21.-After the most exhaustive investigation and the sounding of senators, Secretary Hay has satisfied himself that he has been able to find a firm foundation on which to ere.-t another canal treaty to replace the Hay Pauncfjte treaty that failed and one that will be almost rtaln to command approval of the senate. It Is his ambition to remove abso lutely as the source of a possible con flict In future misunderstandings re sulting from efforts to apply the Clay-ton-Bulwer trea'y to the conditions of today. This object Is almost within reach, he feels. KILLED BY AN OUTSIDER. Fatal Result of a Four-Cornered, Fight In Chicago. CHICAGO. June 24.
