the delegates pledged to me and at the same time express a preference for MT Taft but apparently this Is what has hap pened.
 such being the case,-and on the as- sumption that the presidential vote ls for Mr. Taft, I hereby announce that shall expect these delegates at large to disregard the pledge to support me and support MT. Taft; and, if any one of them hesitates so to do, I shall im- mediately write him and urge him with all the emphasis and fnsistence in my power to take the course indicated and support Mir Taft. Tn this fight I ain standing for certain principles which l regard as vital to the present and fu- ture welfare of this nation.
 My success Is of value only as an incident to securing the triumph of these principles by the great American fury. Foremost among these princi- pies Is the right of the people to rule, .azia the duty of their representatives eFig to represent them in nomina ting 1ai ntions no less than in executiy ye aae legislative offices.

Admires America

He expressed admiration at the evil dences of the American republics prog ress which the committee had met with on it's travels and paid tribute to what he called the gold of labor. the gold of human brain, of intellect, of inspira- tion" which has caused it.
 These new conquistadores, the con- quistadores Of labor. who set their sails not for the land of dreams but for the land of the things as they are, were the real founders" continued M. Han otaux. "of the mighty civilization which surrounds us and once again, in the very forefront of their ranks, stands our great fellow countryman.- Samuel Champlain We thank you for cherish ing his memory. And it is to show you that France herself joins in these sen timents that we are come here in such numbers to bring you for the Champlain monument. a bust born of the genius of our illustrious fellow countryman Rodin, an image of that which we hold most dear-France.
 Tn the mighty structure of American civilization there is something of France--allow us to believe, gentlemen, that you will not forget it-and on the monument you are erecting this image will remain forever sealed to recall and symbolic that fact"
