banks as their candidate for the
presidency.
In presenting Fairbanks, Senator
Heminway said of him:
HE has qualities combined to
make a great president, and Indiana
will present his name to the ma
tional convention with a proud and
patriotic hope that he will be NOM
mated. He stands for the wise poll
cies Of Theodore Roosevelt. AS presi-
dent he will maintain them
The speaker said the democratic
party was not justified in feeling
hopeful of success because of the re-
cent financial furry. He declared the
present panic primarily was bank
ers' panic. 1t started among high
financiers in Wall street and 1t has
been limited to a great extent to
the banks.
The speaker was in favor OF tari-f
revision and said the people were
overwhelmingly in favor of 1t.
The presentation OF Fairbanks
name was the occasion of prolonged
applause. and the convention was
enthusiastic throughout. The speech
of Senator Beveridge was greeted
with hearty appreciation and was in
his best vein. He spoke in part as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Conventions:
The world moves, and the repub-
lican party is abreast of the times.
'The world moves" said Calico
three centuries ago, and the narrow
minds who ruled that day forced
him to recant. But the republican
party never has yielded and never
will yield to those who ask it to
about-face. The republican party IS
always on the march toward better
things. Every republican watch
word is a battle cry of progress.
Every republican leader has been a
captain of advance.
The first republican candidate for
president was called the Great
Pathfinder. It's second candidate for
president was called the Great Lib
orator. It's last candidate for presi-
dent and the nations chief magis-
trate today is called the Great Re-
former. These men did things for
the people-that is what made them
Republican leaders.
A republican leader Is not ma
lnipulator. He is an apostle of Ideals
a writer of laws, doer OF deeds
