not Undo Our Work"
Then Governor Roosevelt began his
speech. His sentences were delivered
in a manner that denoted a careful
study of each word. Following is the
substance OF Governor Roosevelt's
speech:
Mr.. Chairman: I rise 20 second the
nomination Of William Mckinley. the
president who has had to meet and solve
problems more numerous and more i'm
portant than any other president since
the days Of mighty Abraham Lincoln;
the president under whose administration
this country has attained a higher pitch
of prosperity at home and honor abroad
than ever before in its history. -Four
years ago the Republican party nominal
ed William Mckinley as its standard
bearer in q political conflict OF graver
moment to the nation than any that has
taken place since the close Of the civil
war saw us once more reunited country.
The Republican party nominated him;
but. before the campaign was many days
old. he had become the candidate not
only OF all Republicans. but Of all Amer
leans who were both far sighted enough
TO see where the true interests of the
country lay. and clear minded enough to
be keenly sensitive to the faint of dis
honor.
President Mckinley was triumphantly
elected on certain distinct pledges, and
those pledges have been made more than
good. We were then in a condition OF in
dustrial paralysis. The capitalist was
plunged in ruin and disaster; the wage
worker was on the edge of actual want;
the success of our opponents would have
meant not only immense aggravation Of
the actual physical distress. but also
stain on the nations honor so deep that
more than one generation would have to
pass before II would be effectually wiped
out We promised that II President Nc
Ksnley were elected not only should the
national honor be kept unstained at
home and abroad, but that the mill and
the workshop should oper, the farmer
have a market for his goods. the mer-
thant for his wares, and that the wage
Garner should prosper as never before.
Well, we kept our word. The oppor-
sunity has been given, and It has been
seized by American energy, thrift and
business enterprise. AS a result we have
prospered as never before. and we are
now prospecting to a degree that would
have seemed incredible four years ago,
We have done so well that our oppo-
nents actually use this very fact as an
appeal for turning us out. We have put
the tariff on a foundation so secure: we
have passed such wise laws on finance.
that they actually appeal to the patriotic
honest men who deserted them at the last
election to help them now; because. for
sooth. We have done so well that no.

II was an inspiring demonstration.
Mrs. Roosevelt looked down upon 1t
from her position OF vantage in the
side gallery. She was pale, but APP
peared smiling and happy. The dem
onstratiOn continued for six minutes
and forty seconds.
The delegates still chOked the aisles,
grasping the governors hand, and with
difficulty the chairman restored quiet
and recognized Butler Murray, OF Mas
sachusetts, for a speech, seconding the
nomination of Roosevelt.
After the speech Of Mr.. Murray Gen.
James NJ. Ashton. of Washington, was
recognized, and he also seconded the
nomination of Roosevelt.
"Depewl Depewl" demanded the DEL
egates in tumuItuous chorus, and as
they called the we'll known face Of the
New York senator emerged from his
delegation, Governor Roosevelt him
self taking him by the arm and urging
him forward TO the platform.
The benign face OF the post-prandial
orator looked down on the people, and
then in his musical voice ne began a
magnificent and impromptu tribute to
the hero Of the hour. He was in good
humOr as we'll as good voice, and his
touch of jocosIty in mentioning Ted
dy" and the get there qualities of
young America brought out storm Of
mingled laughter and applause.
Then the vote was taken, and at
the conclusion OF the call Chair
man Lodge announced that Governor
Roosevelt had received 925 votes, one
delegate in the convention not voting
This delegate was Governor ROose-
welt himself.
Chairman Lodges announcement
that Roosevelt had been nominated for
vice president evoked a burst of APP
plause that fairly shook the great steel
sirdled building to its foundations.

In Under Three Flags In Cuba" by

scheme was hatched to capture the no
torious General Weyler:
General Weyler walked nightly down
the Prado with only an aid and three
secret police saunteing behind. Some
Cubans often debated with, me the
feasibility of SELLING him there one
night, dragging him down the steps to
the Punta beach and shipping him
down the coast to Gomez, 10 be held as

We worked perslsently In planning
this. The guards were to be overpoW-
cred by sudden onslaught from the
rear, the general seized. pinloncd and
embarked. Lack of funds delayed the
attempt Finally we chartered tug
In Key West, but the owner drew hack
at the last, and just as another boat
was offered Weyler was recalled

Room enough for all to get In without

because he is crowded out. 1t is wide
enough for safety, for comfort, for
convenience of nll good things, but has
no waste space. 1t Is Il well paved and
protected highway, free from holes,

Grated by storm ana frost. 1t was difll-
cult to find at its beginning and when
it emerged from the woods and cross
cd the bare mountain plateau could
often be traced only by the marks on
the granite ledges, where feet of horses
and men had worn the lichens away
and left the stone lighter hue. In
many places It skirted sheer precipices,
where TO lose ones footing meant dan
ger If not death No fences protected
its sides, no ropes gave hand hold In
steep places. 1t was broad enough for
the most liberal minded, broad as the
whole mountain backbone, broad as
all out of doors, oftentimes wide as
the seas of billowy mist which filled
all valleys and leveled all hllltops.
