the Democracy Of Iowa to present to this
convention for the nomination TO the
high office of President the name OF

assure this convention in advance that
this Is not a result of any question OF
mere pride nor is it The result of any
consideration of the question OF mere
availability. They ask you to nominate
the candidate OF cur choice upon far
broader grounds, upon the broad ground
that Horace Boies is emphatically a
broad man. Those of US who know him
best do not hesitate either here or else
where to declare with all confidence that
a thorough knowledge OF the truth can
inspire that no is man of staunchest
character possessing q powerful personal
ity and equipped with a combination OF
mental qualities that will make him, II
elected, an ideal executive. Knowing
as we all do that the political situation
OF the country Is a grave and ominous
one this convention must not ignore
nor evade the responsibility this situation
creates, which Is to give to the Ameri-
can people a candidate the mention of
whose name, wherever known, Will carry
with 1t an overwhelming strength and
stand in case OF election an unqualified
guarantee for the entire safety in the
management OF all public affairs, the just
settlement of every pressing question and
the speedy inauguration Of vigorous
reign of exact justice.

things he has never tailed TO make n deep
impression. This IL the ideal test by
which the capacity OF public man

standard by which a statesman's reliabil-
ity and usefulness should be entertained
and determined. IL you select Governor
Boios as your candidate and the people
ratify your decision in November, we can
promise you no pyrotechnical display
from the White House during his admin
istration. There will be no rockets aent

excitable public topics; we promise yon
none OF these performances, but will
tell you what we can and do promise
you and that IL the Inauguration and
faithful execution OF policy that COM

and will be npplauded by every sincere
patriot, policy that will be characterized
throughout by the invigorating course
