The Republican convention just end
ed in Chicago at which President
Roosevelt was nominated to succeed
himself, marks the fiflieth anniver-
sary of Republicanism In 1854 John
G. Frem mt was nominated by the first
Republican National convention ever
held. James Buchanan was nominated
by the Democrats and the only issue
dividing the two parties was the en-.
coachment of slavery. Fremont was
defeated by the loss of two northern
states-now strongly republican-Penn-
sylvania and Illinois. Had Fremont
been elected at that time American
history would have been written en-
tirely different. The war of the rebel
lion and its results are too we'll known,
nut they form the most important per.
iod in the fifty years life of the Repup
lican party. The fifty years histor
now closes with brilliant triumph
the Panama Canal, which is American
property. to be built by American mon
ey, by the American people. This is
an eninently fit ending OF the hall
century of republican history, and
Roosevelt's courage and Intelligence
in bringing this about only makes him
| the more strong with American people
