date for a third term--and intend to elect him.
Why should not a man be nominated by the Republicans for a third
term as Governor of Ohio? What is there in the office that prevents
his full and free and complete performance of all the duties imposed
upon him as Governor of Ohio? Why, they say the President, by a
prescriptive rule that has been established since the time of
Washington, cannot be nominated for a third term. What of that?
The powers of the Governor of Ohio and the President of the United
States are as different as a and z, and are as wide apart as heaven
and earth. The President of the United States is armed with more
power during his four years than any prince or potentate of Europe;
he exercises a power greater than any man in any country of the
world, whether a monarchy or empire. But is there any similitude
between the Governor of Ohio and the President of the United States?
What power has he? The Governor of Ohio has less power than almost
any other governor of the United States."

I spoke on the 2nd of November in the Music Hall at Cleveland, and
there again urged the election of Foraker. I give a short extract
of the description of the speech as it appeared in the papers of
that city:

"He ridiculed the third term scare of the Democracy and then paid
a glowing tribute to the worth and integrity of Governor Foraker.
'Has any man said,' he asked, 'that Governor Foraker is a bad man;
that he is not a good man? My countrymen, no one has said that.
He was a brave soldier. He is a self-made man; the son of good,
plain people. He is self-educated. By integrity and toil he
mounted, step by step, on the ladder of fame. Nearly every man
who has arisen to prominence in our country has arisen from the
ranks by toil. Such a man is Governor Foraker.'"

I spoke daily during the last two weeks of the canvass and everywhere
made the same appeal in behalf of Governor Foraker and the state
ticket. The result of the election was that Campbell received a
plurality of 10,872 votes and was elected. A majority of the
legislature was Democratic, and subsequently elected Calvin S.
Brice United States Senator.

Elbert L. Lampson, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor,
was elected by a plurality of 22. The other candidates on the
Republican state ticket were elected by an average plurality of
about 3,000.
