But the work has not ceased with the enforcement of existing laws. A republican congress and republican president have placed new laws upon the statute books designed to carry out the republican policy or govern ment regulation in a safe. reasonable and effective manner The Elkins law. aimed at preferential rebates, which have been the curse of our transpor- tation and our business; the Railroad Rate law. which made the supervision of railroads more effective. and the Pure Food law. which has been, in the highest degree. beneficient to the masses of our people, are all monu- ments of the policy and the labors of the republican party.
 The True Friends of Roosevelt.
 The president, who has led his party and the people in this great work, retires. by his own determina- tion, from his high office, on the fourth of March next. His refusal of renominatiOn. dictated by the loft jest motives and by a noble loyalty to American traditions. is final and ire vocable. Any one, who attempts to use his name as a candidate for the presidency, impugns both his sincerity and his good faith, two of the presi- dents greatest and most conspicious qualities. upon which no shadow has ever been cast. That man is no friend to Theodore Roosevelt and does not cherish his name and fame, who nov, from any motive, seeks to urge him as a candidate for the great office which he has finally declined. The president has refused what his coun- tryman would gladly have given him; he says what he means and means what he says, and his party and his country will respect his wishes as they honor his nigh character and great public service.
 But. although the president retires. he leaves his policies behind him. To those policies the republican party stands pledged. We must carry out as We have begun. regardless alike of the radicals of reaction and the rad icals of revolution. We must hold fast tO that which is good while We make the advances which the times demand.
 We ask for the confidence and sup port of the American people because We have met the problems of the day and have tried patiently to solve them. We appeal for votes and for the pow CT they confer because We uphold the presidents policies and shall continue to sustain them. We make our ap- peal with confidence because we have a well defined policy and are not, like our opponents fumbling in the dark to find some opinion on something
 We believe in the maintenance of law and order and in the support of the courts in all their rights and dig nifty. We believe in equal rights for al men and are opposed to special privileges for any man. or any class Of men. high or low, rich or poor We. who established the gold standard. are pledged to the cause of sound finance. We stand for protection to American industry and American labor. and we will resist all the assaults of free trade under whatever name it comes disguised. We will see to the defence of the country We mean to have a navy worthy of the American name. we seek peace and friendship with all the nations but alliance with none. Yet We have no intention of being a Hermit Nation" The great service of the president to the worlds peace will be continued by the party which he has led. We are a party fit to rule and govern, to legislate and admin ister, and not a fortuitous collection of atoms whose only form of thought or motion is to oppose. Above all, we are true to our traditions and to our past. True now, as we were in the days of Lincoln.
 In this spirit we must prevail-by this sign we must conquer"
