",rhe popularity of this nomination is
just what always pleases the American
people, We are not like the Germans,
an abstract people; not like the Germans,
defying principles unless they are con-
nected with a man, and this principle
the only one that moves its spindle, that
supports its industries, the one that
makes its wage-earner sought for by
employment and not seeking employment,
and that principle for years gone by has
been embodied in one man. His per-
sonality expresses it, and by the voice of
the American people, with a majority UNI
equaled, his personality will carry him
to the presidential chair-the aspirations
of the voters of America of the families
of America, of the children of America
and the homes of America, for McKin-
ley, protection, America for Americans. "
