every possible occasion throughout the
trip.
"In conclusion, let me speak of an
,other trip, made couple of years ago
IEy the secretary of state, Elihu Root,
the first time in our history the Amer
|ican secretary of state, during his term
OF Office, left the country to visit GER
tain other nations. Mr.. Root made the
complete tour Of South America, trav-
ersed Central America, and afterwards
visited Mexico. He was everywhere
received with the heartiest greeting,
"a greeting which deeply touched our
people, and | wish to say once more
how appreciative we are of the recep-
ton rendered him.
His voyage was unique in character
and in value. 1t was undertaken only
because we citizens of this republic
recognize that our interests are more
closely intertwined with the interests
of the other peoples of this continent
than with those of any other nations.
/ believe that history will say that
though We have had other great secre-
taries of state, We have had none
greater than Elihu Root; and that
though in his high Office he has done
much for the good of his nation and
of mankind, yet that his greatest
achievement has been the success
which the result of his devoted labor
to bring closer together all the repub-
lies of the new world, and to unite
them in the effort TO work valiantly
for our common betterment, for the
material and moral welfare of all who
dwell in the Western Hemisphere.

Let him find out how many times those
leases were given away in some omnibus
appropriation bill and how few were
granted in bills whose title stated their

If the republican party proposes to
