tires, by his own determination, from
his high office, on the fourth of March
next His refusal of denomination
dictated by the Hottest motives and
by noble loyalty to American tradi-
tions, is final and irrevocable Any
one, who attempts to use his name as
candidate for the presidency, I'M
pugns both his sincerity and his good
faith, two Of the presidents greatest
and most conspicuous 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 now, from any
motive, seeks to urge him as candi-
date for the great office which he has
finally declined. The president has
refused what his countrymen would
gladly have given him; he says what
he means and means what he says,
and his party and his country will res
pect his wishes as they honor his high
character and great public service.
Roosevelt Leaves His Policies Behind.
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

We appeal for votes and for the power
they confer because we uphold the

to sustain them. We make our appeal
with confidence because we have a

our opponents, fumbling in the dark
to find some opinion on something.
We believe in the maintenance of

travel eventually, are but few of the
new things in rides, while shows of all
sorts which go to make the complex

Park unique even among the big parks
of the world.
The park boasts Of the finest band

tic doctrines to willing congrega-
tion
Mr.. Bryan entitled his speech "A
Word of Encouragement" and devot-
cd his remarks to the producing OF
evidence to show the growth OF
Democratic policies and principles
and the basis for Democratic hope.
He spoke in part as follows:
"Our trouble used to be to persuade
the Republicans to accept Democratic
policies; our work now is to expose
the imitation by them of Democratic
ideas and to point out wherein they
come short in their effort to appro-
pirate Democratic doctrines. Take
for instance the trust question. We
had difficulty convincing the Repub-
Ecans that there were trusts. Now
they admit trusts exist. We had diff.
6cuIty convincing them that criminal
lAw should be enforced against trusts;
now they admit it should be enforced
but fail to enforce it. Insofar as they
have acted against the trusts at all
they have acted along the lines laid
down by the Democrats, but the
trust magnates are still at large, the

gambling the fruitful cause Of PAN
ics; it has made no effort to furnish
government notes for an emergency,
and it has made no effort to protect
depositors.

with hope and their hope rests on
firm foundation. Democratic policies
have grown in popularity as the vot-

ers have become better acquainted
with the evils to be remedied.
Another reason for hope is to be
found in the fact that the Democratic
party is united while the Republican
party is divided. Third cause for
hope is to be found in the moral
awakening. Never within a genera
ton has there been such a stirring
conscience and the sense OF justice in
herent in the people has been made
sensitive to the domestic appeal which
is essentially an appeal for justice"
