Since the first, party convention, in
these United States, there was never
one gathered together under such
hopeful and auspicious circumstances
as those which surround us today.
United, proud of the achievements of
the past four years, our country pros
porous and happy, with nothing to re-
gretaand naught to make us ashamed,
with a record spotless and clean, the
republican party stands facing the
dawn, confident that the ticket it shall
present will command public approval
and that in the declaration of its prin-
ciples and itsspurposes, it will voice
the aspirations and hopes of the vast
majority of American freemen. ~
We need mo omen but our country's

fact that the convention is assembled

duty toward our new possessions. Tt
was a mastery address, closing with
the following peroration:
Az The. American people, are neither
poltroons nor pessimists, and they will
not signalize the dawn Of the new cen
tury by the surrender of either convic-
tions or territory. Every soldier back
from the islands, and they are in al
most every hamlet in the land, returns
an advocate of their retention. Our
dead are buried along the sands of Lu-
zon, and on its soil no foreign flag
shall ever salute the dawn. q%.; ~ -.
Whatever may be in store for us in the
new and unbeaten track upon which
we are entering, we shall not be found
with the *unlit lamp and the ungirt
loin."- Our way. is new, but it is not
dark. In the readjustment o. world
conditions, where we must take our
place with the other great nations of
the earth, we shall move with caution.
but not with fear % We seek only to
lift up men to better things, to bless
and not to, destroy. The fathers of
the republic accepted with courage
such responsibilities as devolved upon
them. The same heavens bent over
us, and the same power that shielded
them will guard and protect u.s., for
what we seek is to build still more
firmly, always upon foundations of
probity and of virtue, the glorious edi-
fee of the Republic. "
We stand at the dawn OF the new
century. Before it shall have reached
its meridian the youngest here will
have passed beyond this life or
beyond the sphere of usefulness.
New recruits will step into the
ranks as we fail out. This very
year, thousands of young men will for
the first time exercise the right of citi-
zenship and cast their ballots at the
national election, The safety of this
republic must ever rest in ..the courage
OF young hearts and the vigor of a
noble manhood Youth is .buoyant
and hopeful. No. snarling criticism,
or gospel Of a little America, or pro-
phecy of despair, will find response
from hearts that beat full and strong
with courage and with faith, and
whose creed it is that
God in his heaven,
All's right with the world.''
Whatever else in the past has suffered
change or decay, the republican party,
which for forty years has been identi-
fed with everything ennobling and up
lifting in our history, was never as
vital, virile, and as vigorous as today.
And the heritage we Shall transmit to
the new century, to the coming gen

The Chicago Tribune Of Wednesday
te,-ing notice Of Duluth and the pro-
posed summer carnival:
Duluth, the Zenith City, at the
head Of Lake Superior,.,is planning for
a midsummer carnival, by which 1t
hopes to attract thousands who seek
relief from the summer heat OF
cities forther south. Its citizens pro
pose to make this carnival one that
will rival the New Orleans Mardi G'-as
and through it's agency to exploit Du-
Gluth as one Of the great summer re-
sorts of the world.
'.M. S. Burrows, Of Duluth, is in Chi
cago in the interest Of the carnival
which will begin the first week in Au-
gust He points to the fact that Du-
luth's average temperature during the
summer is 63 degrees, according to sta
tistics complied by Observer Richard
son Of the government weather bu-
reau, as one Of the many reasons Why

The Republican city committee yes
tp.day delivered a very courteous re-
ply to the Democratic city committed S
challenge on the part of Mayor Truel-
sen, for q joint debate on the issues
Of the campaign with T. w. Hugo, the
Republican candidate for mayor. The
committee declines the challenge for a
joint debate and gives reasons why.
The Republican city committee in its
reply also reminds the Democratic city
committee Of several things which will
be Of interest to the voters. The reply
TO the challenge is as follows:
Hon. G. e. Shannon, Chairman
Fusion Campaign Committee.
Dear Sir: Yours Of the oath inst.
suggesting a joint debate on ''the
issues involved in the present city
campaign' has been duly considered
and in reply kindly permit us to say
that we see nothing involved in what
you have been pleased to call the issues
Of this campaign concerning which
terest or profit to the people.
''Thn candidates in this campaign
are standing substantially on the same
platform and the contest is very large
~ on the fitness and merit of the men
for the honorable position. Both are
strongly in favor Of the municipal
ownership Of all public utilities and
both are favorable to the enforcement
Of rigid economy in the administra-
ton Of all municipal affairs. By a
comparison of the party platforms,
which fully present the principles Of
the respective candidates and which
each candidate is emphatically pledged
to fulfill if elected, will convince you,
we think, that there is no issue be-
tween the parties of such Importance
as to interest the people in a joint de-
bate. ".
I'm reply to your suggestion touch
ing the matter Of Mr.. Truesen's stand
Cn municipal ownership, permit us to
remind you that before Mr.. Truelsen
was elected, q Republican mayor, Sup
ported by a Republican council, had

contracts had been entered into look
ing to it's completion, bonds had been
voted there for by the people as we'll
as for the purpose Of paralleling the
old gas and water plant, and the ad-
ministration Of Mayor True1sen
simply carried out the work already
begun by the Republicans and which
no man in that position could have
escaped.
. "The real issue in this campaign is
simply a question as to whether or not
the laws involving the very life and
moral integrity of this community
shall be enforced.
'',Fhe Republicans vigorously con-
delnn the disgraceful,> notorious and
vicious administration Of the police
dc partment under Mayor Truelsen, but
as this issue in the opinion Of the
Republican city committee con not be
consistently discussed in joint debate
we courteously decline your proposi-
ton. Respectfully yours,

EXPERTS ON STAND.
TWO Personal INJURY SUITS on
TRIAL IN DISTRICT COURT.
DIR. Coliins OF superior Gets Even
With II. J. Davis for Rigid Cross
Exatni nination.

The personal injury case of John S..
stryker VS.. Luther Mendenhall, re-
ceiver Of the Duluth Street Railway
company, is still on trial before Judge
Dibell. Mr.. tStryker was, at the time
of the accident, riding a bicycle on Su-
perior street near Second avenue West.
He met q car coming east. and, turn
ing overito the north track, was struck
by a west-bound car, throwing him
off in such a manner that the car ran,
over his right foot.
The feature of the testimony yester-
day was the evidence Of expert bicycle
riders as to the custom Of Wheelnen in
riding on Superior street. All the, testi-
mony agreed / vat it was an almost
universal custom to ride in the space
between the nor and south tracks, as
that space had been prepared especially
for the purpose and was much smooth
er than the pavement outside OF the
tracks, which was quite rough. Yester-
day afternoon the plaintiff rested and
the defendant moved to dismiss. Ar
guments upon the motion were being
heard when court adjourned.
In Judge Ensign's room the personal
injury suit Of Grille Latarte VS.. the
Minnesota Iron company is still go
ing on and will probably occupy the
balance Of the week.
Expert testimony was introduced by
the plaintiff. DR.. Collins of West Su-
perior, who had treated Latarte, was
on the stand during the afternoon. He
was subjected to a rigid cross-examin-
alton by T. j. Davis but emerged from
! the ordeal with at least one good score
| to his credit.
Describing the result a shock would
| have upon the system, he mentioned
| the fact that it would not be so detri-
mental to a perfectly healthy man, =
Whereupon Mr.. Davis asked him If he
had ever seen q perfectly healthy man.
| The doctor replied that he had, occa-
sionally.
! Shortly after, in regard to the mo-
! tive that actuated the plaintiff to bring
| the action, he was asked if he ever saw
a perfectly moral man. DR.. Collins said
he did not think he ever. had. Mr.. Davis
said:
''Then you have seen perfectly
healthy men but not perfectly moral
men. You don't think there is a per-
fectly moral man? Have you seen one
/ todav?"
''Well," replied the doctor, looking
MI. Davis straight in the face, 81
haven't one in my view at present"
The courtroom was convulsed, and
Judge Ensign ordered a recess for five
| minutes.
The case of E. H. Caulkins VS.. George
McBarney ct al before Judge Cant
went to the. jury yesterday morning
and the jury was still out when cour
adjourned. The cases of Mike Quigle1
VS.. the Powers & Simpson Lumber
company and A. J.. Thomas VS.. Anto1
Hegler ct al were dismissed.
