% las representatives OF the young ele
3ment of the republican party" the reso-
Slptions continue. I'VE have a peculiar
fpride in the nomination to the vice presi-
Sdency OF Theodore Roosevelt, whom we
regard as lofty and inspiring type Of
the American statesman and soldier.
A3 The democratic party's inactivity is
III threat to the material prosperity of the
cpuntry and its triumphs will be an in
dyldual and public disaster. To prevent
lfbis We invoke sobriety of judgment and
txigor of action in the coming campaign.
The republican party has ever been a
lbuilder. It's every platform has rung
with the spirit of progress and hope.
Democracy has ever been destroyer rs
every platform has groaned with the
spirit of pessimism and opposition. The
american people will never believe that
the builder has became a destroyer and
the DESTROYER a builder.
M We deplore the conditions now exist
ing in China aud we assure the Ameri-
can people that a republican admnistra-
ZION will protect all OF our interests, de-
handing full indemnity for the past and
securitv for the future.
VA AS firmly AS We believe In America
