you my sincere thanks for all your
kindness and my best wishes FOR
your success in convention and at the
polls.
II heartily agree with Senator Bur
ton. / never knew any good to come
from political contest which was car
ried on on personal grounds. | never
knew any good to come to a person or
party who carried on contest on other
than the highest and most honorable
way. If we have no issues beyond men
then our institutions are failures. If
we have no principles to press because
they are worth advocacy for the pros
perity and progress of the whole peo-
pie, we might just as well dissolve our
government.
1.-THE success of great party means
the advocacy of great principles. Polit-
ical action is secured by harmonious
movement by the different people who
compose the political body. Every man
who becomes a part of a political or
ganiZation must surrender his individ-
ual preferences and be willing to abide
by the decision of an honest majority
of the party. No genuine Republican
can afford to leave this convention han
after the majority of this convention
shall have declared its wishes with any
other thought but of loyalty and devo-
ton to the candidates nominated. To-
day when you have assembled here you
have laid aside your differences and l
think and believe that you Will leave
this hall ready to rally around your
party and to loyalty support the nom
inee of this convention.
II thank you for the kindnesses and
/ wish to repeat that it is my hope that
when we get the returns in November
next that we will find that the people
here have put themselves in line with
the great Republican party, which
stands for the best interests of the en-
tire people of the United States"
