Is no stranger waiting in the shade to be
called suddenly into public light. The
American people have seen him for many
years n always where the fight was
thickest and the greatest need was felt.
He has been alike conspicuous in the
pursuits of peace and in the arduous
stress of war. No man now living will
forget the spring Of '9S. when the Amer
lean mind was so inflamed and American
patriotism so aroused; when among all
the eager citizens surging to the front as
soldiers. the man whom this convention
has already in its heart was among the
first to hear the call and answer to his
name.
told. for no man in that exalted place
since Lincoln has been better known in
every household in the land: He Is not
conservative. if conservatism means
waiting till it is too late. He is not wise:
if wisdom is to count a thing a hundred
times when once will do, There Is no
that which follows an opportunity un-
embraced.
"And in the man whom you will choose,
the highest sense of every nation in the
world beholds n man who typifies as no
other living American does, the spirit and
the purposes of the twentieth century.
He does not claim to be the Solomon of
his time. There are many things he may
not know, but this is sure. that above
all things else he stands for progress,
courage and fair play, which are the
synonyms OF the American anne
There are times when great fitness is
hardly less thar destiny, when the ele-
ments so come together that they select
the agent they will use. Events some
times select the strongest man. as light
ming goes down the highest rod. And so
it is with those events which for many
months with unerring sight have led you
to a single name which | am chosen only
to pronounce: Gentlemen, l nominate for
president of the United States the high
est living type of the youth, the vigor
and the promise of a great country. and q
great age, Theodore Roosevelt, OF New
York.
Gov. Black pronounced the nominat-
ing words at just 11:06 O'Clock. AS he
did so lie retired quickly from the
platform. But the words Theodore
Roosevelt" had not left his lips when
there was u shout. The convention was
on its feet. Like the crash of thun-
der that follows the lightning, the en-
thusiasm began. Flags were in the air,
hats were taIoWn UP, men jumped on
their chairs, women stood and shouted.
The air was rent with one continuous
prolonged shout from thousands Of
threats. So mighty was the volume
of sound that nothing definite in the
way of articulate sound was distin-
guishable.
Cheers followed, and were increased
when Mr.. Cannon recognized Senator
Beverage, # Indiana. whom he in
t1oduced in these words:
"Centlemen of the Convention: I
have the honor Of introducing to you
q pert1amaD ubop, won oil know q
son of indiana, who, when he has a
message, insists upon a hearing, and
when he speaks the people are enlight-
ened aid enthused."
Senator Beveridge began his speech
amid loud applause. He said, in part:
Senator Beveridge's Speech.
Gentlemen of the Conventions: One
difference between the opposition and
ourselves is this: They select their can
didate for the people, and the people Sc
lect our candidate for us.
This was true -four years ago when we
accepted the peoples Judgment and

and of tenderness, won the trust and
love of the nation then and makes almost
holy his memory now. His power was in
the peoples favor, his shrine is in the
peoples hearts.
ut is true to-day when we again ac-
tGept the peoples Judgment and name
Theodore Roosevelt, whose s,ympathies
are as wide as the republic, whose cour-
age, honesty and vision meet all emer-
gencies, and the sum of whose qualities
make him the type of twentieth century
Americanism And the twentieth century
American is nothing more than the man
of '76 facing a new day with the old
faith.
Full of the old-time faith in the re-

energy of the republics full manhood;
cherishing the ordinances of the republics
fathers and having in his heart the fear
Of God; inspired by the sure knowledge
that the republics splendid day is only
in its dawn, Theodore Roosevelt will lead
the American people in paths of safety
to still greater welfare for thesmleVes,
still broader betterment Of the race and
to the added honor Of the American name.
Therefore Indiana seconds the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Beverage spoke with force and
increasing e1.ihusiasm, emphasizing his
points with 6 graceful gesture with the
| right hand. The senator's voice was
probably the easiest heard Of any
| spoken which the convention has yet
heard.
Other s%econding speeches were made
by Senator Foraker, of Ohio; Gov. Pen
nypacker, of Pennsylvania, and ex-
Senator Carter, of Montana.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, having
withdrawn the name of Hon. Robert
