L wish TO see the very best man tnat
we can get in the state nominated,
and for that reason I ask your sup
port for the candidates whom | have
named.
when. as president. it became my
duty to appoint a district attorney of
New York. l felt that l had to choose
an officer who needed to display quail
ties as great as those of any member
of the cabinet. At that time we knew
that the man to be appointed would
have to be employed by the govern
ment against some of the powerful
| business combinations in the land, who
| would employ the ablest counsel that
could be employed and that we must
have in the representative of the peo-
| pie a man who could meet fairly on
| their level the ablest man that these
| great corporations could employ. |
| then went over the matter most care
| fully, among others with your chair
| man. Mr.. Root, and we came to the
! conclusion that the very best man we
could name for a task as difficult and
| as important as any that was to be
performed in my administration or
| that of the present president, was the
man whom I now nominate We put
| him in and he made good.
| at was his business to bring to JUS
| tice the Sugar trust, one of the great
| est corporal tions in this country, which
/ by q most elaborate system of collus-
I
| frauded the government out of liter
| ally enormous sums representing q
vast fortune. So remarkable was the
| combination that until we put in Mr..
| Stimson it had proved impossible to
get at the actual facts. Mr.. Stimson
| got justice. Mr.. Stimson convicted
man after man in the employ of the
| Sugar trust. Mr.. Stimson proved his
case so clearly that the trust threw
up its hands and returned to the gov
| ernment an enormous sum. He secured
| a restitution. he secured punishment.
We have said on this platform that We
stood for justice, that we would punish
| the corrupt man in public life and in
| business life alike, and that the high
| est social or political or business af-
| fliations should not save the often
der.
IF we nominate him, his nonina-
ton is a guarantee that every promise
made in the platform will be kept, in
letter and in spirit, for he is of that
temper that nothing in the world could
prevent him from endeavoring to keep
the promise and he has the trenchant
ability that will enable him to keep
it. Therefore, I nominate for the high
position of governor of the great En-
pire state, to head the republican tick
ct, Henry l.. Stirnson."
Colonel Roosevelt was warmly ap-
plauded as he concluded.
No Alliance With Hearst.
In response to reports that he had
been in communication with William
r. Hearst since he came to Sara toga,
and that he and Mr.. Hearst had form
ed an alliance for the campaign, Col
onel Roosevelt issued this statement:
Il have not communicated with Mr..
, Hearst or anyone else outside the con-
vention, and the candidates we have
considered here today have been dis
CUGS9d T1I1ra1N nT1t their 1aritS nd
without reference to Mr.. Hearst or
anyone else"
Henry Lewis Stinson.
New York, Sept. 28.-Henry Lewis
Stimson. whom the republicans have
nominated for governor, came promi-
nently into the public eye as United
states district attorney for the south
ern district of New York, a position to
which he was appointed by Theodore
Roosevelt in January, 1906.
In the three years and two months
in office Mr.. Stimson prosecuted the
so-called Sugar trust and the New
York Central railroad for rebatjng,
aggregating nearly 100000. He ap-
peared personally before the United
States supreme court and argued
against the appeals taken by the New
York Central, winning every appeal.
The proceeding to compel the late
tions put to him by the interstate COM
merce commission was also won by Mr..
Stimson and his next legal victory was
over the American Sugar Refining Co.
for fraud in weighing imported sugar.
This case resulted in the government
ties from the trust.
