Codington, of Plainaeld, and William
Reaser, of Warren, committee OF
three to escort Judge Runyon to the

The delegates caught glimpse OF
the candidate going down the aisle Of
the theatre and the enthusiasm which
was manifest at frequent intervals
prior to that time, broke ont anew
and with redoubled vigor. Fowler
men forgot about their opposition to
the unanimous nomination and joined
the Rnnyon men in their hearty ac-
clamation. 1t was full two minutes
before the applause subsidized and he
was given an opportunity to speak.
He said in part:
. 1 beg to assure you that / am
deeply sensible of the honor the great
honor which has come into my life
this afternoon. Full deeply, too, do
realize the weight and gravity Of the
responsibility which goes therewith.
That ! have been chosen as your
nominee for congress by you who are
the representatives Of thousands and
thousands Of people, brings home to
me with all powerful force the fact
that you have confidence in me; and,
too, that if / would be true to myself,
to my party and to my country and to
my Maker, / must be worthy of that
confidence.
L. Is task which we'll BELTS the
utmost endeayors of the best of men.
BY inheritance, by training and by
conviction, / am a republican From
my earliest days there was taught to
me the doings and accomplishments
of the republican party and since /
have become man [ have realized
more and more what it has meant for
the upift and progress of this great
country, and more and more has been,
forced upon me the conviction that
the republican party has at all times
had large hand in it.
I" And now with changed conditions
in front of Us, we must, as we have all
ways done, look to the republican
party for the solution of the many var
led problems. Isay here uDqalitiedly
that stand before you as a Taft re-
publican. A Taft Republican because
1 believe in him, a Taft republican be-
cause in his quiet, calm way, he has
accomplished so much already a Taft
republican because if you will give
him the support which is his right.in
the election Of a republican House of
Representatives he will further ac-
complisn those things which we're
promised in the republican platform
OF 1908.
{" Gentlemen, | am glad to go forth
in the campaign standing on the plat
form which has been adopted here this
afternoon. 1t is fair, it is honest, it
is frank it realizes what this country
needs, what this country and it's citi-
zens most desire, and it pledges I'M
qualifiedly measures looking to that
end, but it does not beft me at this
session to discuss the issues OF the
campaign.
" | feel that to many of you'll am an
utterly unknown quantity, and /
therefore trust you will pardon the
injection Of the personal equation in
things which l have to say. Let me
say to you that | believe now and at
times ip independence of thought and
action. My duty / conceive to be
duty to the entire people and not
duty to one man or a set of men, and
/ believe that the people in their en-
tirety are the only ones to whom l
shall be responsible, and in the event
of myelection that shall be my stand"

/" They will show that feeling, be-
lieve," Mr.. MacMaster said, when
