 T come To this hall with peculiar emotions. Here a little less than two month ago. the republican national convention nominated me for the of flee of the president Of the United States. l had not sought that nom ination. l did not desire that nomina- ton. 1 was contented with my work and looked forward 10 the fulfilling of the allotted period Of life in work that was congenial and of the highest i'm | portance 10 the American people. But when that call came, 1t did not admit 1 Of an instants hesitation. IL meant 1 but one thing-a summons to an obli- gatiOn, and as 1 was while on the ! bench. one hundred per cent a judge. l then became one hundred per cent q candidate.

 T have no respect for the idea tn because democratic government is
