Senator Elkins recently made a
successful presentation of the re.
publican platform and candidates
before the West Virginia state con.
vention. What he said of President
Roosevelt will bear frequent repeti
tion, as follows: president Roose
yelt has given the people a wise and
pure administration that comments
itself to all of our people. The presi
dent has SO commended himself to the
people that he has been renominated
without opposition, and with him as
vice-president, Charles Warren Fair
banks, one of our purest, ablest, most
experienced and conservative states
man. Under the leadership of these
men, with flag of protection floating
high over it the republican party viii
triumph. President Roosevelt al
ready stands as one of the remarkable
figures in our history. It is his nature
and makeup to work, move and &C
forward.
HE constantly makes healthy and
intelligent progress in the affairs el
the public at home and abroad. His
career is unique and wonderful. He
walks hand in hand with destiny
aud at times compels it to do his
bidding. The democratic party can.
not defeat such man. The Ameri
can people will not turn away from
him to risk or follow one untried man
on an ambiguous, evasive platform. y
