 .T think that there are some things that may be said along the line or citizenship that we do not everyday recall to ourselves If you will par don me I want to call your attention to a little incident; one that lmpres- sad my mind greatly. and nope that ii will impress yours. It was in the latter years of the 40ties of the last century that d young German StudE- ing for the ministry, named Carl Tudyyig Sand listened to Russian minister who said that Germans were inimical to German liberty. He thought the matter over and decided that it was his duty to assasslnate the minister He killed him. He was tried convicted and sentenced to De shot On the morning of his exc cutOn as he was led forth to the place thereof, the major in charge ot the platoon of soldiers said to sand, Do you regret that which you have done?" And looking up into the face of the major, with that smile that c.n only come to the man who lS convinced that he is in the right, Sand said: Major. there is but one difference between you and me. You die for the convictions of other men: l die for my oWn.' The Russians erected a monument to the minister, but sand was buried where he fell. No one now knows where that monu l. nent 10 the Russian minister is, but there is not a blue-eyed boy, or a flaXen-haired girl in all the town who will not take the stranger by the hand and lead him to the field where Sands soul went to God. My friends, that man died for a cOnvic- tion: he died for what he believed 10 be the truth. He did what l think you should not want done, and what I hope may never be done in America particularly if they get to gunnine for a vice president. And yet every thinking man could not do otherwise than lift his hat to the memory o1 Carl Ludwig Sand.
 What the republic needs-and I am not going to say that the republic does not possess them-what it needs and must always need, is men o1 convictions. l do not mean by that men who think as l think. because l may not think aright; but 1 mear men who have genuine convictions upon all of the great public question: which from time to time are evolved in this country. even as our civiliza tion is evolved. I want to call youl attention to the fact that there i: no more difficult thing in our public
