0mniseience IN national instinct. That
instinct centers in her governor. He
| is that instinct. Applause. How can
his power in every state be explainedi
He has been in political life less than
1.-TWO years. He has had mo- organization
of the usual sort; only q practical ideal,
the reestablishment Of equal opportun-
ity. (Applause. J, The logic Of events
points to him. The imperial voice " Of
patriotism calls to him. Not his deeds
alone, not his deathless words alone,
not his simple personality alone, not
his incompatible powers alone, not his
devotion to truth and principle alone,
but all combined, compel national faith
and confidence in him. (Applause.)
Every crisis evolves it's master. Time
and circumstances have evolved the
immortal governor of New. Jersey. The
north, the south, the east and the west
unite in him. Deep calls to deep.

science. He has made but one agree,
ment. That agreement was with his
country and with God. (Applause. He

truth and RICH It requires no sophistry
to explain either " his position Is Or his /
character. He stands IN the quenchless
light Of truth, q brave, fearless and
patriotic soul. Applause
