tee, delivered ringing address in
which President Roosevelt was oilici-
ally notified of his denomination.
The silence of the Democrats on great
issues, their unharmonious actions
which would result in their triumph,
their opposition to the principles of
protection these features of DemOc-
racy he touched upon and then said:
"a majority may change our reven-
ne laws, a majority may change our
currency laws: a majority may destroy
the gold standard, or, in lieu of either
or both, make the treasury note,
non-interest bearing and irredeemable
the sole standard of value.
Sir, let us turn from the region of
doubt and double dealing, the debat-
able, to the region of assured certain
ty. The Republican party stands for
protection. 1t stands for the gold
standard and our currency system.
All these dwell in legislation enacted
under the lead of the Republican

ed opposition OF the Democratic party
including its leader and candidate.
These being our policies, and having
been most useful TO the country, we
have confidence in and love them. If
it be necessary from time to time that
they should be strengthened here and
controlled there, the Republican party
stands ready with loving, competent
hands to apply the proper remedy.
say remedy. Being our policies, we
will not willingly submit them to
their enemies for slow starvation on
one hand or to sudden destruction on
the other"
Mr.. Cannon then referred TO the
prosperous condition Of the country,
how Cuba has been given her freedom,
Porto Rico, her civil government; the
PHILIPPINES, their portion OF civil gov
eminent, limited only as their capa-
city limits. The laws have been en-
forced against the mighty and the
lowly without fear. Speaking direct
ly to the President he said:
"You have, under the Con stitution,
led in making treaty which was rat
flied by the Senate and is approved by
the people, which not only assures,
but, under the law and appropriations
made by Congress. proceeds with the
construction Of the Panama canal.
The Republican party for you and I'M
der your leadership appeals to the
great body of the people who live in
civilization, control the Republic,
fight its battles and determine its pol.
icies, for approval and continuance in
power"
But though powerful as was this
speech of Mr.. Cannon's, the reply by
President Roosevelt was even more
strong and vigorous. After short
introduction in which he accepted the
high honor conferred upon him he be.
gan review of the past record of his
party in which he said:
1--WE who have been entrusted with
power as public servants during the
past seven years of administration and
and legislation now come before the
people content to he judged by oul
record of achievement. In the years
that have gone by we have made the
deed square with the word, and If we
are continued in power we shall un.
Swervingly follow out the great lines
of public policy which the Republican
party has already laid down; a publ
glory to which Ne are giving, AID
shall give, united, and therefore an
efficient, support"
Turning TO the course that has been
pursued by the Democratic party and
TO the policy of Republicans, he gave
many terse sayings which may be
summed up in these;
sin all of this we are more fortunate
for confidence on the ground, which
some express and some seek to have
conidentlally understood, that if tri-
umphant they may be trusted to
prove false to every principle which
in the past eight years they have laid
down as vital, and to leave undisturb-
ed those very acts of the administra-
ton because of which they ask that
the administration itself be driven
from power. Seemingly their present
attitude as TO their past record Is that
some of them were mistaken and
Others insincere. We are not con-
strained 10 keep silent on any vital
question; our policy is continuous, and
is the same for all sections and locali-
