Senator Foraker views the Ohio result as a vindication of Republican principles. He notes the statewide vote centered on whether the party had fulfilled its pledge to restore prosperity and that discussions focused on the prosperity measure and its cause rather than minor issues. The lesson, he says, reflects the preelection campaign and the choice made by voters last year under McKinley.
