Once more the Republican party,
in national convention assembled,
submits its cause to the people. This
great. historic organization that de-
stroyed slavery preserved the union,
restored credit. expanded the ma
tional domain, established a sound
financial system developed the in
dustries and resources of the coun-
try and gave TO the nation her post
of honor in the countries of the
world, now meets the new problems
of government with the same courage
and capacity with which it solved
the old
In this. the greatest era of Ameri-
can advancement, the Republican
party reached its highest service un-
der the leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt. His administration is an
epoch in American history. In no
other period since new sovereignty
was won under Washington, or pre-
served under Lincoln, has there been
such mighty progress in the ideals
of government which make for JUS
tice, equity and fair dealing among
men, The highest aspirations of

voice. Their most exalted servant
has come to represent not political
sovereignty alone, but the best aims
and worthiest purposes of all his
countrymen. American manhood and
womanhood have been lifted to a
nobler sense of duty and obligation.
Conscience and courage in public sta
ton and highest standards of right
and wrong in private life have be-
come the cardinal principles of po-
/ litical faith; capital and labor have
been brought into closer relations of
confidence and independence in the
abuse of wealth. the tyranny of
power. and all the evils of privilege
and favoritism have been put to
scorn by the simple, manly virtues
of Justice and fair play.
WHAT PRESIDENT DID.
The great accomplishments of
President Roosevelt have been, first
and foremost. brave and impartial
enforcement of the law. and the
prosecution of illegal trusts and mon
opolies, the exposure and punishment
of eyidoers in the public service, the
more effective regulation of the rates
and services of the great transporta-
ton lines, the complete overthrow OF
preference. rebates and discrimina
tions: the arbitration of labor dis
putes, the amelioration of the condi-
tion of wage workers everywhere, the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country, the forward step in
the Improvement of the inland water
wavs and always the earnest support
and defense of every wholesome safe
guard which has made more secure
the guarantees of life. liberty and
prosperity. These are the achieve
ments that will make for Theodore
Roosevelt his place in history
Bur more than all else. the great
things he has done will be an in
spiration TO those who have yet
greater things to do. We declare
our unfaltering adherence to the pol
ieies thus inaugurated and pledge
their continuance under Republi-
can administration of the govern
ment.
PROSPERITY POINTED OUT.
Under the guidance of Republican
principles the American people have
become the richest nation in the
world. Onr wealth today exceeds
that of England and all her colonies.
and that Of France and Germany
combined
When the Republican party was
born the total wealth OF the country
was about $4,000. 100000. 1t has
leaped to 0,00O.000.000 in gen
Grafton. while Great Britain has
gathered $50. 600. 600. .O00in so years.
The United States now owns one
fot,rth of The world : wealth and
makes one-third of all manufactured
products In the great necessities
of civilization, such as coal, the mo-
tive power of activity: iron, the chief
basis of all industries: cotton, the
staple foundation of all fabrics;
wheat. corn and all agricultural prod
ucts that feed mankind, American
supremacy is undisputed.
And yet her great natural wealth
has been scarcely touched. We have
vast domains of 30.000,O00 square
miles, literally bursting with latent
treasure still waiting the magic of
capital and industry to be converted
to the practical uses of mankind:
country rich in soil and climate in
the embarrassed energy of IFS riY-
ers, ard in all the varied products.
