nominated Col Roosevelt and governor

I'VE shall have arrayed against US
in the coming campaign our ancient and
hereditary enemy. the Democratic
party" said he. In addition we shall
be called upon to contend with some
former associates who have concluded
to abandon their am1able custom of fir
ing upon the flag they have been fol-
lowing in order that they may engage
in the more honorable, but no more
effectuaL, occupation OF assauIting it
from the front.
For the next few months our ears
are to be filled with the voice of the
malcontent, strident and many keyed,
tried and beaten paths Of constitutional
government, along which they have
walked with sure feet for more than
century, and enter upon personally
conducted pilgrimage through the po-
litical wilderness TO a promised land
as shadowy and unsubst2ntial as

Taft's Nomination

the question of contested delegates at
the Republican convention with the
contention that president Tafts nom
nation was secured fairly and honest
". He referred to the published state
ment that some OF the Roosevelt con-
tests had been set afoot for a psyche
logical effect
The Progressive Convention.
There never has been in all history
a more unique convention than that OF
the Progressive party at Chicago. Here
tOfore, when a party has been organ
lied, its organizers have in advance en-
tertained at least a suspicion respecting
their principles; but the delegates TO
this convention, wholly ignorant of the
things for which they stood, waited,
with patiently folded hands, the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Roosevelt in the con-
vcntion to tell them what they be-
neved.
Campaign Issues.
The campaign upon which we are
about to enter presents issues Of more
serious moment to the American poo
pie than any they have confronted
since the grave questions which i'm
mediately preceded and accompanied
the civil war. The over shadOwinS
question then was whether the union.
under the constitution, could BE per-
petUated; that which cO1frOntS Us to-
day IS whether the constitution itself,
and the government which the conSU-
tuition established, shall be preserved
q question OF equal, II not grea ler gr-V-
ity, since it would be of little avail TO
have preserved the union from the
chaos of disintegration if the gov
eminent Of the union is to be given
over to the chaos of REORGANIZATION
The party to which we belong, Mr.
Vice President. stands in this supreme
contest for the independence and in
tegrity of the judicial tribunals of the
land, without which the guaranty of
life, liberty, and property would be
meaningless platitude. It stands for
the settled rule of impersoLal govern
ment, as opposed to the shifty oppor-
tunism of personal manipulation; for
the liberty and order of general law,
as against the tyranny Of special edicts
of changing men"
