President McKinisy's Address.
Senator Lodge and Gentlemen OF the
Notification Committee: The message
which you bring to me Is ono OF signai
honor. It Is also summons to duty.
A single nomination for the office OF
president by great party which IN u
years out OF 10 has been triumphant at
national elections is a distinction which
/ gratefully cherish. To receive unan-
imous denomination by the same party
Is an expression of regard and pledge OF
continued confidence for which II Is AIM
cult to make adequate acknowledgment
II anything exceeds the honor OF tho
Office OF president Of the United states
II is the responsibility which attaches

who has borne the anxietics and burdens
Of the presidential Office, especially IN
time OF national trial. cannot contemplate
assuming Il n second time without pro-
foundly realizing the severe cxactions and
the solemn obligations which II imposes
and this feeling is accentuated by the
momentuous problems which now press
for settlement. II my countrymen shall
confirm the action OF the convention ~

the convention has my hearty approval

subjects In detail and will by letter COM
