More than any other of our public men
he has had to do with our outlying de-
tendencies and colonial relations. 1t was
he who took in charge the prosecution OF
that colossal enterprise on the isthmus,
the canal uniting the lesser and the great
er oceans, and under his directing hand
the completion of this most stupendous of
public works is no longer a vague and
distant hope but an imminent reality.
With his ever ready skill as pacihcator.
he restored tranquility in the fertile Is
II land of Cuba, SO often distracted by civil
strife In the faroff Philippines, under
a blazing tropical sky, he found people
of many races and tribes, degraded by
centuries of misrule and oppression. and
there, too, he not only established the rule
of law and local control in place of con-
fusion and bloody strife. but showed the
way to self government and new rec
ognition of the rights of MAN, FOR peo-
pies and races, like individuals, under the
Inspiration of a friendly guide, may lift
their faces heavenward and seek to climb
the great worlds altar stairs to nobler
heights of liberty and opportunity. 1t is
to his lasting honor that his desire was
not to be known as Taft the procon-
sui" but as Taft the father of the Fill
ipinos," who brought to them the light of
modern civilization.

Ideal preparation for the duties OF that
great office. AS judge in state and federal

Sit suooassor TO Roosevelt.

Who so fit to take up the tasks which
this wondrous generation demands should
be wisely and impartially performed as
his great war secretary? Since the day
when. in Benjamin Harrison's adminis-
tration, these two first met-the one as
solicitor general, the other as member
of the civil service commission-they have
been bound together by like ideals and
aims, by close ties of friendship and by
the exchange of mutual counsel each
with his own individuality and character
lstics keeping constantly in view the en-
nobling vision of better and greater
America. They have not been satisfied
that the temple of prosperity should be
decked alone by the jewels of the fortu-
nate and the opulent, but have insisted
that it should still more abound In tro-
phies which commemorate the enforce
ment of even handed Justice and the
maintenance of that equal opportunity
which spreads hope and blessing even 10

In international Affairs.

In the larger sphere of world politics
we are entering into new and closer bonds
with all the nations of the earth. Who
Is better qualified than he to lead Amer
lea to her true position In this later day
when the boundaries established in the
centuries past are becoming less distinct
and kingdoms and races are beginning to
realize that they have all one common
destiny?
Secretary Taft has exceptional familiar
ity with conditions in the distant orient
in Japan, in China. We may rest assured
that our traditional friendship with Japan
will continue Moreover the future prom
ises that the slumbering millions Of China
will awake from the lethargy OF ages, and
she then will realize that the morning
dawn of fresher life and wider outlook
comes to her across the broad Pacific
from free America, her truest friend and
helper. We covet no portion of her terri
| tory We desire from her, as from all
| nations, increased good will and that mu-
| tual respect which knows neither bluster
nor cringing on either side Thus in this
| new era of larger relations Secretary
| Taft, with his comprehension of national
| and international subjects, would furnish
a certainty Of peace and sustained pres

would rest safe in the reliance that chief
executive was at the helm who in peace

the nation with strong hand and with
gentle, patriotic heart.
| And so today. in the presence of more

thought of the well nigh ten thousand
times ten thousand who dwell within our
borders, I nominate for the presidency
that nerfect tvpe of American manhood
