Roosevelt and Fairbanks 5.

The work of the Republican National
Convention was done SO tremendously
promptly and with so little friction that
the average citizen hardly knew that
such convention was in session. OF
the nomination of President Roosevelt
there has been no doubt for months. The
common people demanded it, know
ing him to be the great representative OF
the masses, and the convention had only
to ratify the will of the people. Senator
Fairbanks of Indiana is said TO be an
able man of irreproachable character; a
suitable man for the great Office of Vice
President. Ex-Secretary Roots pre-
sentation of the Presidents name is &C
knowledged as one of the most mastery
efforts ever heard on such an occasion.
Few men have been nominated to the
great Office of President of the United
States by reclamation, but it betokens
the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks
and continuation of the present sue
cessful administration.
