Ohio in Roosevelt line stands pat on tariff
The Republican State Convention at Columbus indorsed President Roosevelt with unanimity, nominated Myron T. Herrick for governor, and pledged support to Senator Hanna’s re election. The platform backs Roosevelt and a tariff policy aligned with his views, favoring protection with targeted schedule changes by protection allies, not free trade Democrats. The convention closed amid alliteration on the battle cries, with Hanna’s “Hands off!” echoed and Foraker presiding.
