wiped out. I have always been enlisted
for the republican party, and I ar
here this evening to renew my enlist
ment. Put my name down in some
humble place in the service of the ma
tional republican party.

only advocated those things I believe
to be true, and those things I will con
tinue to advocate. ~

declaration that their leader woult
"stand pat' on everything he hat
said before the convention, and reiter
ate it during the campaign, withou
sparing his language toward the nom
inee for governor. It was decided,
not harmony speech.
