Then came little side talk:
Freeman Lane-I move that one OF
the secretaries call the roll by districts
when the vote is taken.
c. G. Edwards-The better way is for
the secretary to call the senate and
house alphabetical roll.
Mr.. Lane-1 accept the suggestion.
The nominating speeches followed,
Senator Buckman leading:
If the question were asked me what is the
strongest power controlling, regulating and
melting our actions? What controlled the
condition and destinies of our people? l
would say our business and our business in
terests. 1t is our business men who have
gone into the Wilds of the Vermillion cOun-
try and are busy taking the rich minerals
from the earth; it is our business men who
have gone down on our lakes and
whitened the surface with sails
and darkened the heavens; it Is
our business men who have come into our
cities and reared the marvellous structures
which we look upon with pride; it is our
business men who have gone forth to our
prairics and cultivated them until they have
bloomed like gardens. 1t is in line with this
thought that l would present for your
thoughtful consideration a gentleman who
has long been identified with these material
Developments. His name and his record are
known not only throughout the state, but
throughout the nation with courage that
none dare question. If elected he would ap
peal to the best motives OF our party, and TO
none better could we confide the business IN
, terests of our states prosperity, now awaken
ing TO new life and hope. He has ever held
the the confidence and sympathy of his en-
ployes, and as legislator he has ever been
| true to the masses The man / put in nomi-
nation is Dwight NJ. sabin. Loud applause].
Representative A. L. Stebbins sec
onded. Mr.. Sabin had been working
! senator. keenly alive to the best inter-
eStS of the state.
Senator Ward also seconded. He
said:
nobler man than D. NJ Sabin God never
had the sun shine on; mans nobility was
stamped upon his forehead. Applause
| Talk about the failure of the car company

| those who carry their own knife with them;
+! / will never bend the knee to the scurrilous
! talk to drag great man down in order that
some puppy may rise above him.
Representative j. NJ. Diment sec
onded MIR. Sabbns nomination on be-
! half of the constituents he represented.
Speaker Graves said:
did not expect to take part in this discus
| sion, but since misguided persons or enemies
have chosen to pull the arrows of envy and
| hatred against the character of q man whom
| know so well, ask the indulgence of this
body while I say few words. 1t is pleas
| ure to me at this moment to reflect that vi
Imperative and uncalled for personal abuse
is boomerang that reacts on the
senders and operates to the ben

A bit of personal remark. Years ago, before
the gentleman who has just been spoken of
ever thought of being United States sena-
tor, fell, as many of you have done, in
edge of bankruptcy; and my creditors gave
me an extension on the condition that put
all my property in the hands of a trustee for
forfeiture If did not meet my debts. The
time came round, and l could not
meet them. l was over $4,000
short. and all that / had had now to go.
| spoke of it casually one. day to man for
/ whom l had kindly feeling. He promptly
took hold of my case, advanced the neces-
| saries, gave me two years time at simple in
| terest to payi off gradually, and set me on
nv feet again. That simple interest, mind
YOU, without the hope of additional reward !;
and that noble man who acted for friend

nart of the state feel this: That in the
past six years not a single request of
I theirs has been neglected; that Senator
| Sabin has attended to their interests at Wash

| is a great thing. A record of that kind has
SO impressed Senator Sabiu upon our people
| that their voice to me is q united voice; and
they also say that however it may be-and l
