RoosEvELTs NOTIFICATION.


stances ar his private residence The speech of
Speaker Cannon stated which actuated the
convention in its work and put forward the time
honored principles and approved policies OF the party
by it ntrusted the President for honest application
to the affairs of his country and the interests of the
whole people.
The Presidents reply In his best mood 1t states
the facts of the political situation fairly that his
opponents while confused by the analysis, cannot deny
truthulness Well could he say and ruhfully, I'VE
have made the deed square with the word for every
pledge of the party been redeemed every of its
principles has been applied and all of its policies have
been carried The results before the country.
If the people like those results if every feel that
he has had value received for the cents day taxes
the Federal Government has cost him, let him say SO
November by continuing in power the party and
the President whose acts have made him content If
he feel otherwise let him express himself adversely
The President said: 'We fortunate than our
opponents, who appeal for confidence the
ground which express and seek to have con-
hdentally understood, that if triumphant they be
trusted prove false every principle which in the
eight years they laid down vital and to leave
undisturbed those very of the administration be-
of which they ask that the administration itself
be driven from power. That is severely keen because
it is severely No else has put it in such plain
statement The President off the mask of pre-
and holds the mirror up to nature so that no
one can deny the truthfuness of the image.
Alphabetically he put the position OF MS OWN parry
1--WE make our appeal in wholly different spirit We
are not constrained keep silent any vital ques-
ton; we divided vital question: our policy
is continuous and the for all sections and oca
ties. There is nothing experimental about the Govern
ment we ask the people to continue in power. Our
opponents either openly secretly according to their
temperaments ask the people to trust their
present promises in consideration OF the fact that they
intend to all their past promises null and void
But we know our own minds. and have kept of the
mind long enough TO give our policy conference
and sanity" That is magnificent appeal to honesty
and sense, and again 1t puts the lancet into
the vitals of the opposition.
Continuing he said: "Wc have placed the finances OF
the nation upon sound gold basis. We have done this
with the aid OF many who formerly oppo-
nents but who would neither openly support nor silently
acauiesce in the heresy of unsound finance and have
done against the continued and violent opposition OF
the mass of present opponents who still refuse to
recant opinions which for the moment they
think it nexpedient to assert We know what we mean
when we speak OF a sound and stable currency. We
mean the thing from year to year. We do not
have TO avoid definite and conclusive committa the
most important which has recently been before
the people and which at any time in the near future
may be before them again. So long the Republican
party is in power the gold standard is settled not as
Of temporary political expediency, not because
OF shifting conditions in the production OF gold in GER
tain mining centers, but in what regard as the
fundamental principles of national morality and Wis
dom"
The address then covers the and labor prob
lens all frankly fearlessly and the domestic and
external issues of interest the people Its clarity OF
statement is remarkable. Every man who reads IT COM
prehends every word and has only to appeal to the
history of his country verify it all The President
has not found necessary sit inside of himself and
juggle in the shadows 1t is all in day, all easy
of comprehension and appeals with matchess power to
his country1nen's sense of fair play
Judge Parker in it hewing to the line When
he takes his broadax hand let where his chips
fly
