In national convention, to pay him the

ellis administration is an epoch In
American history. In no other period
since the national sovereignty was won
under Washington or preserved under
Lincoln has there been such mighty
progress in those ideals of government
which make for justice, equality and
fair dealing among men. The highest
aspirations Of the American people
have found voice. Their most exalted
servant represents the best aims and
worthiest purposes of all his country
men. American manhood has been
lifted up to nobler sense of duty
and obligation. Conscience and cour-
age in public station and high stand
ards Of right and wrong In private
life have been the cardinal principles
Of political life. Capital and labor
have been brought into closer relations
Of confidence and inter-dependence,
and the abuse of wealth and the ty-
ranny of power, and all evils and priv
ileged favoritism have been put to scorn
by the simple and manly virtues OF
Justice and fair play
ut is gratifying to your countrymen
to reflect that of that administration
you have been conspicuous part, as
you were Of the administration Of Mr..
Mckinley, whose accomplishments
mark a national progress unsurpassed
in all of our previous national life.
ut, therefore, gives me genuine
pleasure, Mr.. Taft, to present to you
this formal nomination from the re-
publican party, whose governmental
policies have for so long kept in bal
ance the might forces Of the nation
and to whose continued guidance of the
nation we have every reasonable right
to believe that the people are now
looking"
