has been deemed that the convention
should make the candidate, and that

After consulting with as many dele
gates as possible within the time at
my disposal, I have concluded to ac-

request. In the present situation, with
the strong and earnest sentiment of the
delegates from all parts of the country
for Roosevelt, and since President Nc
Kinley is TO be renOminated without
dissenting voice, il is my judgment
that Governor Roosevelt should be
nominated for vice-Dresident with the
same Unanimity."
