PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
tFRoM JOHN S. sARGENTs PoRTRAITl

ton of Theodore Roosevelt. That is
the explanation of the call which has
been made by the party without a dis
senting voice, upon Charles w. Fair
banks, to stand by the side of the
President in the guidance and leader
ship Of the republican party.
while he has not sought to con-
strain the judgment of the convention
directly or Indirectly, he has kept him
self free from affectatlon which under
values the dignity of the second office in
the gift of the American people and
1 do not doubt his heart has been
touched by the voluntary expression
Of universal good will which has al
ready chosen one standard bearer of
the republican party.
Office Seeks the Man.
'The office has sought the man and
he will bring to the Office the COM
manding personality of a statesman
equal to any OF the great responsible
tiles which belong to our public af-
fairs. A leader Of the senate, the
champion of all the great policies
which constitute the invincible record
of the republican party during the last
ten years, mis- name Will become a
power Of strength to our cause not
only in his own state but everywhere
throughout the country
Public Anticipates Convention.
""The quiet. undemonstrative popular
opinion which has given the republican
party a platform upon which all re-
publicans can stand with no dissenting
voice, here or anywhere, has long
since anticipated the action of this con-
vention in adding to the national tick
| ct the name of Fairbanks.
Nomlnates Fairbanks.
Il take pleasure in presenting his
name, honored everywhere throughout
the United States as our candidate
for vice president"
| Demonstration for Fairbanks.
The first mention Of Fairbanks
name was the signal for cheers, which
were renewed when he formally pre-
scented the name of the Indiana sena-
tor When the applause subsidized Mr..
Cannon introduced Senator Depew
and there was another great outburst
OF applause.
The next speaker was Governor
Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania, who

seconded Fairbanks nomination. Ex-
Senator Carter, of Montana, spoke
briefly for Fairbanks and received his
share of the applause.
Senator Foraker was next introduc-
ed. His Characterization of Senator
Fairbanks as fit running mate for
President Roosevelt was energetic and
called forth much applause.
Fairbanks BY Aoclamation.
The roll call on vice president was
dispensed with and Fairbanks was
nominated by reclamation after Sen
ator Cullom had withdrawn the name
of Representative HIT and w. P.
Miles, of Nebraska, the name of John
L. Webster.
Announces Fairbanks Selection
Chairman Cannon then said: "As
there are no other nominations 1t only
remains for me to declare Charles w.
Fairbanks the candidate of the repub.
ltcan party for vice president for the
term commencing March next"
Great confusion reigned and the con-
vention was on it's feet crying for
Fairbanks
Adjourn Sine pie.
The usual routine resolutions at the
conclusion of the convention were
adopted and amidst great confusion
Chairman Cannon at 2:25 o'clock de-
clared the convention adjourned sine
die.

lows lightning, the enthusiasm began.
Flags were waved In the air hats were
thrown UP and men Jumped on the
chairs and women stood up shouting.
so mighty was the volume Of sound
that nothing definite in the way Of
articulate sounds was distinguishable.
At this point the band struck up. Its
strains, however, were only family
discernable in the mighty din.
Cannon Waves Historic Flag.
Then Mr.. Cannon took hand. He
appeared with the tattered silk flag
which was used when Abraham Lin
coin was nominated. 1t was fuel to
the flames Of enthusiasm and the vol
ume of sound increased. The front Of
the platform was next occupied by an
immense crayon bust portrait of
Roosevelt, borne aloft by three men.
At HEY, after twenty minutes
demonstration the noise ceased largely
through exhaustion.
Cries OF ROOSEVELT" FIJI Air.
During the excitement young man
from Philadelphia appeared on the
stage crying the name of Roosevelt, In
which the crowd joined.
Unique Demonstration.
The Indiana delegation sprung open
red, white and blue umbrellas bearing
portraits Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
The Alaskan eagles were held aloft,
thousands OF flags were waved in a
wild sweep Of colors. The New York
delegation started on a marching tour
OF the hall with aying banners and
were joined by others carrying ban
ners with Roosevelt's picture upon
them.
Beverldoe Seconds Nomination.
When Cannon had finally secured or
der the secretary read the history of
the Lincoln flag and then introduced
Senator Beveridge, who began his

SENATOR CHARLES w. FAIRBANKS.

mankind. From these men we have
inherited the desire and to their men,
DRY we owe the resolution that those
great schemes of government and hui
manity, inspired by their patriotism.
and established by their blood, shall
remain as the fixed and permanent
emblem of their labors and the abid-
ing signal of the liberty and progress
of the race.
There are many new names in these
days, but the republican party needs
no title. 1t stands now where 1t stood
at the beginning. Memory alone is
needed to tell the source from which
the inspirations of the country flow.
A drowsy memory would be as guilty
now as sleeping Waterman when the
enemy is astir. The name of the re-
publican party stands over every door
where a righteous cause was born. It's
members have gathered around every
movement no matter how weak, if in
spired by high resolve. It's flag for
more than fifty years has been the
sign OF hope on every spot where lib
erty was the word. That party needs
no new name or platform to designate
its purposes 1t is now as it has been
equipped. militant and in motion. The
problems of every age that age must
| solve. Great causes impose great de-
| mands, but never in any enterprise
have the American people failed and
| never in any crisis has the republican
party failed to express the conscience
and intelligence Of that people.
Meaning Of Citizenship.
| The public mind is awake both to its
opportunities and it's dangers. No
where in the world, in any era, did cit
izenship mean more than it means to-
day in America Men of courage and
sturdy character are ranging them
selves together with an unanimity sell
dom seen. There is no excuse for
cropping in the dark, for the light is
plain to him who will but raise his
eyes. The American people believe in
man or party that has convictions
and knows why. They believe that
what experience has proved it is idle
| to resist But there is a wisdom which
4 with good fortune may guide the liv-
ing and the strong. That wisdom
springs from reason, observation and
experience. Guided by these this thing
| is plain, and young men may rely upon
it. that the history and purposes have
described, rising even to the essence
and aspirations of patriotism, find
their best concrete example in the ca
reer and doctrines of the republican
party.
| Tribute to Candidate.
But not alone upon the principles Of
that party are its members in accord.
With the same devotion which has
marked their adherence to those prin-
ciples, magnificent and enduring as
they are, they have already singled out
the man to bear their standard and
to lead the way. No higher badge was
ever yet conferred. But great as the
honor is, the circumstances which sur
round 1t make that honor even more
profound. You have come from every
state and territory in this vast do
main. The country and town have
We'd with each other in sending here
their contributions to this splendid

tation of nominees tor vice president.
Alabama again waived its right in
favor OF Iowa. \
Deliver Enthusiastically Received.
Senator Dolliver at once took the
platform amidst great cheering and
shouting, which was redoubled in VIC
lence when Mr.. Cannon introduced
him. He spoke IN part as follows:
Senator Delivers Speech.
Mr.. Dolliver began by comparing
this convention, with its lack Of noise
and defamation, flying banners and
shouting, with previous conventions
where these demonstrations were more
in evidence and said the previous con-
ventlons had met to settle the state of
rival chieftains.
Carrying Out Peoples Will.
I'VE meet" he said. ito record the
judgment Of the republican millions
of the United States who have CON
cluded that We have one of the great.

Tribute to Leaders.
The speaker then paid a tribute to
the memory of Lincoln, Blaine, Ding
ley, Reed, Mckinley, Hanna and Quay
and eulogized the career Of President
Roosevelt in an eloquent manner.
A New Era.
Continuing he said:
I'VE stand at the beginning Of
new era, and while the republican par
ty leans upon the counsel of Its old
leaders, it has not hesitated to sum
mon to the responsibility of public
life young men who have been trained
under their guidance to take up the
burden which they are ready to lay
down, and finish work which comes
to them as an Inheritance of patriotism
and duty.
"That Is significant in the nomina.

speech seconding Roosevelt's nominal
ton amid loud applause.
Demonstration Continues.

When Senator Beveridge had con-
cluded his speech there was another
demonstration but order was soon re-
stored. George A. Knight of Cali
fornia was then introduced to second
the nomination of Roosevelt. Amidst
yells from the California delegation
their banner followed by q huge
wreath of flowers was borne through
the hall as knight proceeded to the
platform Knight proved to be a
phrase maker and several times he
touched responsive chord in the as
semblage.
Other seeondlng Speeches.
He was followed by Harry Stillwell
Edwards of Georgia who seconded
Roosevelt's nomination on behalf of
the south. Ex-Governor Bradley of
Kentucky also seconded the nomina-
tion of Roosevelt.
Bradley. who was we'll received was
followed by Joseph B. Cotton of Min.

and his speech was heard in the re.
hottest part of the hall and gallery. He
was cheered repeatedly and was fol.

onding speech.
Cummings Is Cheered.
The real ovation was given to Cum
mings, who is colored man, as he
closed.
Nomination Unanimous.
Chairman Cannon then announced
at 1903 today that the roll call for the
nomination for president would be
made. The roll call proceeded very
quickly and at it's conclusion Mr..
Cannon announced that Theodore
Roosev had received the entire vote
of the convention, 994. and it only re.
manned for him to announce his nemi-
nation for president by the republican
party.
The enthusiasm which followed the
announcement was of much briefer du.
ration than that which followed the
first call, the cheers not lasting over
two minutes.
For Vice President.
Chairman Cannon then announced

however, on which the two great par
Ties are in full agreement. Both be-
iieve IN the equality OF men. The diff
ference is that the democratic party
would make every man as low as the
poorest, while the republican party
would make every man as high as the
best. But the democratic course will
provoke no outside interference now,

Areumentf Of Contrast.
IN politics as in other fields. the
most impressive arguments spring
from contrast. Never has there been
a more striking example Of unity than
is now Afforded by this assemblage.
you are gathered here not as factions
torn by one desire and intent. you have
come as the chosen representatives of
the most enlightened party in the
world. You meet not as strangers for
no men are strangers who hold the
same beliefs and espouse tho same
cause. You may separate two bodies
OF water for thousand years, but
when once the barrier Is removed they
mingle instantly and are one. The
same traditions inspire and the same
purposes actuate us all. Never in our
lives did these purposes stand with
deeper root than now. At least two
generations have passed away since
the origin Of that great movement
from which sprang the spirit which
has been the leading impulse in Amer
lean politics for half century. In
that movement. which was both Gre
alton and an example, were those
great characters which endowed the
republican party at it's birth with the
attributes Of justice, equality and pro.
gress. which have held it to this hour
in line with the highest sentiments Of
