was discovered that he was not then in
the room. On making his appearance

and deep set eyes. His face carries q
pleasant expression as if he were a
man of friendly disposition. but at the
same time there is certain evidence
of deep purpose. lofty ambition and
high ideals. In clear, ringing voice
he addressed the convention, thanking
the delegates for the honor and eN
pressing an appreciation of the i'm
portance of the duties of the position
he would occupy if elected. Continuing
in substance he said Laws and gov
ernment must fit people the same as
clothes must fit men. The national
government must have power to pass
laws to govern and control the business
of corporations and individuals which
