You uncovered and drove a mighty
lobby out Of the capitol and invited
Americans Of all stations to come
and counsel with you. The laborer
with his grimy hand, the farmer
with the tan of the blazing sun
upon his face, the railroad men
who hold the throttle, swing the

wheels of commerce, the toiler from
the damp and darkness of mine,

offices, the clerk from the counter,
the banker, the artisan, the lawyer,

Americans are not ungrateful;

recognize the thousands of difficult
ties that no man could foresee
which you have encountered and

written; it has been agreed upon
at the firesides of the land and has
been nodded in the schoolhouses,
the places Of worship, and wherever
Americans meet to talk over the af-
fairs and good of their country.
That verdict leaps forth from al
most every American heart in I'M
dying gratitude to you for the SER
vice you have rendered, for the
peace, prosperity, and happiness
your leadership has given, and |
but voice this doy the overwhelm-
ing wish Of Americans everywhere
for your triumphant reelection.
This great convention which
nominated you was neither controll-
ed nor intimidated by any un-Amer-
can or foreign influence. 1t had the
heart beat and spoke the true SEN
iment OF our country.
"A committee composed of the
permanent chairman Of the conven-
ton and one delegate from each
state and territory was appointed
to inform you of your selection as
the nominee of the Democratic par
