Cannons Words
When Speaker Cannon rose to de-
liver his speech of notification he was
greeted with applause. He said:
The Republican party stands for protec-
ton. 1t stands for the gold standard and
our currency system. All these dwell in
legislation enacted under the lead of the
Republican party and against the most
determined opposition of the Democratic
party, including its leader and candidate.
These being our policies. and having been
most useful to the country. we have con-
fidence in and love them. If it be neces-
sary from time to time that they should
here
the Republican party stands ready. with
loving, competent hands. to apply the
our policies, We will not willingly subject
them to their enemies for slow starva-
ton on the one hand. or to sudden de-
Structlon on the other
Since the Republican party was restored
to power, in 1897. under the lead of Nc
Kinley, our country has prospered in
production and in commerce as it has
never proSpered before.
In the history of the republic, in time of
peace, no executive has had greater ques-
tions to deal with than yourself, and
none have brought greater courage, wis
dom and patriotism to their solution. You
have enforced the law against the mighty
and the lowly without fear. favor or par.
TALLY. Under the constitution you have
recommended legislation to congress from
time to time as it was your duty to do,
and when it was passed by congress- have
approved it: You have, under the conSti-
tuition, led in making treaty which was
ratified 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, under your lead
ership. Keeps its record from the beginning
under Lincoln of doing the right thing at
the right time and in the right way. not
withstanding the opposition of those who
oppose the right policies from the selfish
or partisan standpoint.
Less Severe Than on Predecessors
They dare not tell the truth about your
ofnc1al action or the record of the party,
and then condemn it. They can. for sell
fish or partisan reasons, abuse YOU per
sonally and misrepresent the party which
you lead. 1t is true. however, that so
Tar, their abuse of your action and their
alleged fear of your personality is insig-
nlhcant as compared with the personal
G ana partisan s earnings against Lincoln,
clothed with power by the people, Those
whose grievance is that you have enforced
Ine law and those who carp for mere
partisan capital will not in my Judgment
reap the harvest of success. The Repub-
mean party for You and under your lead
ersn1p appeals 70 the great body of the
races. make the civilization. control the
republic, fight its battles and determine
in power
