 'I happen to be the Democratic cans didate, I do not mean to say that I ought to have been nominated but ! mean to say it was the wish of the Democrats that I should be nominated. and I stand as the represe ative oE the Democratic party My nominshioh came from the people. for naa no President with an army of ofiiceholders to help me get the nomination.
 ''I do not envy my opponent m@rely because he had so influential packer. I would rather have my nomination. than his. But we are the candidates before you. He has been nominateof on the theory that he is of my sazAs and I believe he Is. He has been nominated on the theory that her was competent to conduct his own cam paign, and pay him higher compai- ment whom I presume that h@ is able to do so than does the President when he assumes he Is not able to do sc."
 Scores Roosevelt.
 "I do not approve os the action of the President in using the prestggs. the influence and the patronage of his high office to dictate the nomination of the Republican candidate; do not approve of the action of the President in using the office that belongs to tho people as if it were party asset for q part of the people. ask no favors at kis hands. All I ask is that he stand off and let Mfr. Taft and me light 1t out"
