ROOSEVELT SENDS a LETTER
Governor Durbin Formally Welcomes
the Convention and President Moore
Makes His Annual Address-Thirty.
five States and Territories are Rep
resented.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 5.-The BIZ
ennial convention Of the National Re-
publican League of the United States
opened here today with thirty-hve
states and territories represented. Ac-
cording to its president, j. Hampton
Moore, the league represented two mill
ion members organized into seven
thousand republican clubs.
Governor Winfield T. Durbin form
ally welcomed the delegates to the
state. The response was made by Sid
3. Redding, of Arkansas, national
treasurer. The address by President
Moore followed.
President Moore said:
"Since the Chicago convention, we
have waited in vain for democrats to
show cause why republicans should
change their faith. The whole country
listened with it's ear to the ground for
the sage of Esopus to speak, but heard
only the echoes of republican achieves
ment.
II was wrong on the money question
in 1896 and you were right, but am
more right than you are.
Truly a judicial deliverance. with
peculiar personal alarm at the appall-
ing spectacle of democratic axeman
hacking at the tree of protection, the
venerable sage Of West Virginia cries
out, 'Woodman. Woodman, spare thai
tree but in the same breath exclaims
MY party right or wrong, but right
or wrong my party
"He also declares protection is rob
berry, Our democratic friends endeav.
FOR to absorb the well seasoned planks
Of the invincible republican platform.
They would come In under any old
umbrella They knew the gold stants-
ard was right. They were only jok-
ing on the Panama canal OF course
they derived incidental benefit from
protection. They always intended to-
regulate trusts They favored expan-
sion of trade and they were mighty
anxious to prosecute postal frauds ana
they know how all these things were
accomplished, but they have a hor-
rible nightmare about Roosevelt. He
is so unsafe"
Moore then spoke Of the purposes
Of the national league, admonishins
all to labor energetically in the next
thirty days for republican supremacy.
President Moore read the following
letter from President Roosevelt:
Permit me- through you, to extend
my warmest greetings to the convent
ion of the republican national league.
I appreciate to the full the work It 10
doing. The jealous and disinterested
aid of men who compose it means more
tor the party than almost any other
kind of support. count our party
fortunate in having able men to work
for it in the spirit that your organic
alton has shown. We hold that our
party is worthy of support because it
has served the nation with fidelity and
efficiency SO long and especially be7
cause it is now thus serving it,
