N Els administration is an epoch in Ameri-
history. In no other period since the
II national sovereignty was won under Wash
N angton or preserved under Lincoln has
II there been such mighty progress in those
&dea1s of government which make for jus-
szttice, equality and fair dealing among men.
1.-The highest aspirations of the American
sS3people have found voice. Their most ex-
servant represents the best aims and
%worthiest purposes of all his countrymen.

Saxlobler sense of duty and obligation. Con-
Ssscience and courage In public station and
Ahtgh standards of right and wrong in
private life have been the cardinal prin-
sSaciples. Of political life. Capital and labor
ri have been brought into closer relations of
sconfidence and interdependence, and the
Il abuse of wealth and the tyranny of power,

III flaVe been put to scorn by the simple and
b. Tlaniy virtues of justice and fair play.

snomination from the republican party,
whose governmental policies nave for so
dong kept in balance the mighty forces
of the nation and to whose continued
guidance. of the nation we have every
