belong to no party, to no state, to no
country. They are and will always re-
main the heritage of all humanity.
We rejoice that the splendid public
policies inAugurated by him have fourd
so strong and SO worthy a champion in
his successor, our able, courageous and
patriotic president, Theodore Roose-
yelt.
We commend the high character and
faithful public services of our senator,
