Bradley Whooped II Up.
Boys. we have them on the run If
you are only true to yourselves, your
party and your country there can be no
doubt of the result. Above all, we must
have harmony. No delegates should fail
TO support the most available man. be-
cause he may think he will not assist
in continuing him in office; nor because
he may think he will not indOrse him
Tor an office; and, least of all, because
he has not endorsed him, but has Endorsed
another for office. Men are of such
small Importance, principles are vital;
men live but day, principles are eternal.
Your platform must be clear, concise and
should ring out like the crack of the
pioneers rifles 1t must be a living,
breathing embodiment of Republican prin-
ciples, free from all side issues.
The wonderful administration of Pres-
dent Roosevelt; the universal prosperity
that prevails throughout the country
the immense volume of our commerce at
home-and abroad; the almost innumerable
army of contented workingmen that
thrOng our shops and factories; the host
of prosperous farmers and labOrerS; peace
at home and abroad-all speak in trum-
pet tones, speak together in our behalf.
Bryan and An Unknown"
Our Democratic friends have but two
candidates for president-one the brilliant
statesman who already stands condemned
by the highest intelligence of his party;
the other the great and mysterious indi-
Vidual, whose name seems to be unknown
except to our good neighbour, Brother
WatterSon. but whose name | doubt not
IS Dennis On the other hand we have
wealth of candidates, none of whom
win a walk.
There is that gifted and able Repub-
lican whom New York loves to honor the
lawyer and statesman without a superior
the peer of Alexander Hamilton, who Of
all others has been the strongest spoke in
the wheel Of administration.
Then we have that eli amy of era f
and party unrighteOusness, that splendid
statesman and courageous governor of
New York
Ohio not to be outdone by New York
presents the names of two distinguished
sons, one the nestor of the senate the
fearless and intrepid soldier, whose ser
vices have not been forgotten by a CRATE
full people.
The other. the profound jurist, the
great governor of the Philippines the
splendid secretary of war calmly deIiber-
ate statesman.
Praise for Fairbanks.
Nor shall we forget to mention our dis
struggled from poverty to wealth from
Obscurity to the forefront of American
statesmen. No man in the Union did
more effective work to bring about the
phenomenal national success of 1904 and
no man will do more in 1908.
Then comes old Uncle joe whom we
all love and respect, standing out like
some bold mountain crag, defying all at
tack, conscious of the strength of his lofty
purpose and unsullied patriotism.
Pennsylvania presents the name of the
illustriOus lawyer the late attorney gen
eral, who subdued powerful corporal ton
that was preying upon the people.
But / fOrbeaT to mention others. There
is not state in the Union that cannot
furnish a candidate who can defeat Will
liam J. Bryan
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bradley's
speech the convention took a recess.
