 the ability and solidarity to meet the great issues. The democrats are not
 united on anything. They have a crazy quilt which promises nothing sure if they come into power. In the last three campaigns it has been seen that only on the republican party could the na- tional safety depend. Reluctant as we

 This is no time for political experi- ments. The American people want to Know what 10 expect rom the next president of the United States. The great majority of our citizens insist that the work begun by Lincoln and carried forward by Mckinley and by Roosevelt shall go on It takes a big ser man to be president now, than ever in our history.

been invented. It is only ninety-nine years ago. Yet all the great steps of the country have been slken without time. Lincoln stood between the two eras of the nation--a great suffering figure. There came upon him every evil except that of disease. All the bitterness of the wife and sweetheart, the sorrow of little children, all con- centrated on that great figure in Wash ington. And on him fell all the abuse of which we are so fond of decorating our greatest public men.
 There has never been any steps forward which have not been attended by the suffering of the innocent, It was so in tincoln's time and is so to-day. It is the great law of human progress. Happy is the man who can help in great works. Possibly Abraham Lin- coin did not see Ire far results of his work. But he had the courage and the resolution to take each step as he thought was right. He fought great fight and died with the shouts of vic tory in his ears. This was not his suf- fering. it was the five years when people were appealing to him to stop the war. that he suffered.
 Tt is a national fault. human fault to abuse great men, but we can be de- cent, can we not, to those we have put in high station? We can see that a man has fair chance.

Who is the man who represents the desire of the vast majority of the republicans of the United States? Do I not voice you all when 1 say, that out of tho abundance of splendid material that composes the republican party to-day, MT, Taft comes to us the best equipped man to lead us to a certain victory? He has had the training and the experience that is required of the man who is to carry out the large program of states manship, for which the republican par ty stands, and to which 1t is committed at this time.
 He is the only truly national candi- date in sight, around whom we can all rally with absolute confidence. Beyond any doubt he Is the man of the hour and he will be nominated at the next national convention as the unanimous choice of the great republican party. We know what he is. His purposes are declared to us in the open book of his public career. We have watched tho unfolding of his brilliant mind in the settlement of every task to which he has been assigned We know what he has done. We are confident of what he can do.
