BOONVILLE, Ind, July 27.-Thos.
w. Lindsay. prominent attorney OF
this place, has bolted the Democratic
party and has Joined what he terms
the party OF progress"-the Repub-
lican party. He says the Democratic
party has repudiated the principles
OF former campaigns. and further
states that it has been Republicanized.
Mr. Lindsay says the Democratic
party Is ruled by Wall street. and that
a few men control the party. He de-
nounces Judge Parker for sending the
telegram to the st. Louis convention,
and declares II was the cowardice Of
David B. Hill and his managers In not
attempting to force the gold plank in
the platform. He feels that his party
has departed from the old faith and
that a better administration is to be
had under Rooseyelt's rule than under
Parker.
Mr.. Lindsay has served two years as
prosecuting attorney. and has been
Democratic county chairman for two
campaigns. He was practically Demo
cratic leader OF the First Indiana Con
gressional district Mr.. Lindsay is an
attorney OF recognized ability and has
figured prominently in several Import
ant criminal cases tried In the Indiana

The feature Of the notification was
the address of Elhu Root. who said:
THE committee which now awaits

tional convention of the Republican
party. and its agreeable duty Is to
notify you of your nomination as Re
publican candidate for the Office OF
vice president We give you formal
notice of that nomination, with the
assurance of the undivided and hearty
support of the great party which is ex-
ecnting the peoples will in the gov
ernment of this country for the last
half of century. The nomination
comes to you the result OF long and
earnest consideration. 1t was not
made for the purpose OF conciliating
possible malcontent or swelling the
campaign fund. No bargain or In
trigues contributed to II. II was the
deliberate judgment OF the delegates

high dignity and ever present import
ance. The primary duty OF the vice
president is to be always ready to take
up the burden OF the presidency. We
count upon your wisdom and expert
ence and loyal aid as an element of
our present strength In the coming ad-
ministratIon.' AS to the supreme re
sonsibllty of the Vice presidency
in case of succession to the presidency
we should all pray. and no one more
earnestly than yourself, that 1t will
not come to you, but we cannot ignore
the possibility that II may come. and

Its trying and exhnusting demands.
Our opponent. the Democratic party,
has signally failed to perform Its duty.
II has nominated for the vice presi-
dency man who was born when
Monroe was president, who will be
eiRhty-two years old next March. The
election of any man of such great age
would furnish no safeguard to the
American people, for the attempt by
such man to perform the duties OF
the Office would he followed by com
plete break down OF both body and
mind. In your election, on the other
hand. this chief requirement will be
fully met In the full strength of
middle life you are prepared for the
oxhausting duties OF the presidency
II is the earnest wish OF your party
that you accept this nomination we
offer and that you shall be elected In
November TO be the next vice presl-
dent of the United States.
