great craftsmanship. his brilliant sue
cess in his home and foreign policies,
and his fidelity TO the interests OF the
American people. have given him the
entire confidence and affection OF his
countrymen. With his reelection n
the election OF Theodore Roosevelt,
that typical young American. whose

forward to continued national prosper
lily during the next four years.

8 Contrary 20 the predictions OF
William Jennings Bryan four years
ago. the pledges and promises OF the
republican party OF this country have
been redeemed. The business depres-
