God. at last. Humanity's fight politi- cally all over the land.
 eEnlisting as l have iii taiat con 1 test for humanity that desired gov ernmentally to make men better rather than to make men richer, there is no question, of course, but that of necessity. 1 accept the place with grateful heart and with the ut most singleness Of purpose to carry may be my part to do.
 -"There is new era. a new struggle that Is abroad now There is a new political creed, it is political creed that this great man, Colonel Roose- velt, preached even when he was in the white house; the great creed oi equal opportunity and of a fair deal for all human kind. of giving to evrey chile in the race of life, an equal start: 1t is the creed in the last analysis of humanity that is now the creed of one of the great national parties in the United Staets.
 If in one little particle, if one small degree, I may tighten the bur. den of this great man, this brave fighter, who is today doing the great est and bravest thing in his career. l shall feel well repaid in this cam paign.
 My one desire shall be from now until November with what viriity, what force, what fighting strength I have, to follow him under his leader shin to go forward to better and purer things in this country of ours, and to win the battle that you have just commenced in this nation.
 T would rather go down to defeat with Colonel Roosevelt than go to vic tory with any other presidential can didate."
 The notification committees will meet formally with Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Johnson tomorrow 
 Roosevelt and Johnson Accept.
 Following the nominations, Chair man Beyeridge announced.

 Formal motions of thanks to off, cers of the convention were passed and Beyeridge ordered the notifica- ton committees to bring in the can didates.
 AS Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Johnson took their places side by side on the platform, a demonstration broke loose. The delegates leaped to their chairs and cheered. Colonel Roosevelt waved his hand to the crowd, but Johnson stood evidently just a trifle i'll at ease.
 Over the heads of the two candi- dates a huge banner was nnfurled with the inscription.
 Roosevelt and Johnson"
 New York and California.
 Hands across the continent.
 For there is neither east nor west
 Border nor breed, nor birth,
 When two strong men stand face to face,
 Though they come from the ends of the earth"
 The band struck up Maryland, My Maryland, and the delegates called Roosevelt" Then followed the 'sbat- tie hymn of the republic"
 The demonstration lasted ten min utes and when order was restored Beveridge introduced Roosevelt as 'the next president of the United States"

 T wish to say how deeply sensitive l am to the way this nomination has come to me and to tell those who pro posed and seconded my nomination that l appreciate the significance o having such men and such a woman place me in nomination.
 T thank the convention for my running mate"
