SARATOGA, y. Y. Sept. benjamin
2. Odeu. jr., was nominated for Governor
by the Republican State Convention IN
session here today. Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff was renominated The other
State officers also received denominations.
The convention was scheduled 10 open at
10 o'clock, but long before that hour hun-
dreds OF tickethoiders gathered in front Of
the hall All the routine work had been
cleared mp at the second session yesterday
and today the first business in order was
the nomination of a candidate for the head
OF the ticket
Senator Stranahan, the permanent chair
man, ascended the platform at 1905
o'clock. When he raped for order. dele
gates and spectators were still pouring into
the building in a steady stream. The late
comers were seated in q hurry and Chair
man StEsndhan announced:
The first order of business is presenta-
tion of candidates for Governor
Ex-Gev. Frank s. Black was recognized
10 make the nominating speech
Black Nomiuates OdeII.
Mr.. Black said in part: The time for
speeches has passed, If there had been no
speeches at this convention the ground
would still have been covered and the Re
publican case stated by the chairman of
this body, but the issues now before the
American people were discussed and set
tied four years ago. There is not a new
one here. The ghost Of anti-imperialism
which stalks TO and fro between Lincoln,
Neb., and Bloomington, H., with occa-
sional manifestations in Boston is not and
cannot be made an issue
This country is and has always been
committed TO the policy of growth, and il
| cannot be swerYed from that policy by new
scarecrows scattered along the way. In
that policy are involved the causes of civ
! iliZauon and American progress and the
/ Republican party stands for both
The bess of causes may fail if they have
not also the best of representatives. We
have already selected the pilot for the
national craft He has been over the
course once. He has steered with such
I precision nd skill that even in the tur-
bulence thit has surrounded him he has
gained the confidence OF his fellow-citizeus
and increased his own Tenown to a de-
gree almost without example.
The duty of this assembly is to select a
pilot for a shorter course, but over waters
which are never smooth and often danger
Gus. and | regard it as sign full of en-
! couragement and hope that the man to
whom. with general accord, the Republican
party is about to turn is one who combines
in his character the elements of stability
and courage which make the successful
leader
L believe that politics should be as
honest as the church. l believe that the
level of political action should be so high
that corruption influences can neither
break it down or defle. But | believe.
too. that honesty does not consist in pro-
fession alone. Profession without fulfill
ment is dead faith without works.
That man makes a grievous blunder who
beIiyes that pretending to have done a
thing is the same as having done it
What the Republican party always de-
mands is one who believes that perform
aRce is the substance and profession the
shadow; that to do and to be are the
great essentials of human life and that
is why l have consented to present 10
you the name which is already in your
mind and which l am chosen only to pro
nouDce-
