genius of common sense. faithful and
fearless whose every heart beat is in
full sympathy with the noblest aspira-
tlons of his fellow men.
I'VE present him to you because he
stands for law and order and constitu-
tional government. OF fine legal mind
and training. with both legislative and
executive experience, he believes in re-
establishing the powers and preroga-
tives of every branch of the federal
government as set forth by the fathers
in the constitution itself and he is
unalterably opposed to executive
usurpation of any legislative or judicial
function.
Stands on His Record.
we present him to you because his
record demonstrates that he has a
clear and comprehensive conception of
the proper relations of capital and
labor to each other. His work as
member of congress and as governor
of a great industrial state, with all its
complex and diversified interests,
stamps him as the living embodiment
of the doctrine of the square deal

employe and employer and in all his
official acts he has accorded to each
exactly the same measure of protec-
to you because he typifies more than
any one OF the distinguished gentle
men who will be placed in nomination
before this convention the great, vita
issue of economy in the administra-
ton of public affairs. He believes in
the application of sound and practical
business principles to the conduct of
government, and as proof of that be-

and the increased administrative eff

he pTesides today.
I'VE present him to you because he
is in full accord with the true spirit
of America which still prefers the
nationalism of Theodore Roosevelt TO
the internationalism of Woodrow Will

of the United States must be kept free
and inviolate from European influence
or dictation and that. while maintain
ing friendly attitude toward all ma
lions, we owe 1t to those who have
gone before and to those who are to
follow us to enter into partnership
with none.
True Patriotic American.
I'VE present him to you because to
him the American flag, whose stars
and stripes have been baptised in the
best blood of American patriotism.
symbolizes the strength and the power
and the majesty of a mighty nation
and he believes that that flag should
command respect at home and abroad
and give full and ample protection to
the humblest American citizen, Wher-
ever it may be unfurled to the breeze.
Delegates a solemn responsibility
rests upon the Republican party to-
day. Many difficult and perplexing
problems. social. economic and indus
trial. growing out of the world war are
pressing for solution. The best con-
structive ability of our great construc-
tive party must be utilized in the So
luton of these problems. In the cru
eial and critical period upon which we
have now entered the nation demands
as its chief executive a man of clear
brain and steady nerve, a man of vi
sion but not visionary. a man of
Ideals but not an idealist, a man of
works and not OF words.
illinois has such man. We pre-
sent him to you as our candidate for
president. We present the patriotic
governor Of patriotic state. Frank
Orren Lowden."
