I'VE are here, not to nominate
candidate, but to select a pres
ident. Today we shall contend,
each against the other; tomorrow
we must be brothers in a battle
for humanity
ours is a high privilege and
solemn duty. 1t should be net in
spirit of exalted patriotism. Ev-
cry consideration must be subord-
mated to the great cause of the
people. We speak not oaly for a

and fantastic experiments into our
Jurisprudence.
