the platform he was accorded u great ova-
ton. The applause was general over the
hall, among the delegates on the floor and
in the galleries. Foraker said in part;
Alabama yields to Ohio and | thank
Alabama for chat action. Alabama has
SO yielded, however, by reason of the fact
At gives Ohio superi1uous duty to per-
form Our candidate for president has
been already nominated. He was nomi-
mated by the distinguished senator from
Colorado when he took the temporary
chair of this convention. He was nomi-
mated again by the distinguished senator
of Massachusetts when he became perma-
nent chairmen here, and he was nomi-
mated for the third time, when the dis
tinguished senator from Indiana read the
platform OF his party.

whole of the American people. From one
end of the land to the other there is but

Republican ticket-that man is the first
choice of every other man who wishes Re-
publican success next November 1t is
therefore not necessary to speak for.him

He has already spoken for himself and
to all the world His record is replete with
brilliant achievements in peace and war
of inspiring fidelity to duty and good
works accomplished.
-Four years ago the American people
confided to him their highest and most
sacred trust, What has been the result
When he entered office he found business
paralyzed. He has brought prosperity
unprecedented to this country. He found
| labor idle-he gave it employment. He
| found despair and gave the people pros

mills, shops and mines closed. He opened
them to business everywhere. He said

catacombs of American politics the 16 to
ISSUE along with the lost cause. The
man already nominated by the conven-
ton had surmounted every difficulty that
had arisen He had opened the door of
China and advanced our interests in every
land.
But this was not surprising. 1t was
anticipated. When he was nominated
four years ago at St Louis all knew that
he was brave, able, faithful and honest,
and the greatest achievements We're his in
time of peace. We never dreamed of war
then. War, however, came in spite OF all
he could do to avert it, came upon us. We
We're unprepared for war. But Americans
met the situation promptly And there
had never been brighter chapter in our
history than that.
SIN 100 days he drove Spain from the
western seas and filled the world with adj
