TOPEKA, Kans., August l9.-The
text of the address Of Senator L. J.
Dickinson IF Iowa. chairman of the Re-
notifying Vice President Curtis of his
denomination follows:
Recently a duly authorized conven-
ton of Republican delegates from 48
States of this Union was held in Chi
cago Many minds represented one
view of party policy and many another.
1t was well that the various delegates
could thus represent the different eco
nomic interests of their respective
States
N their views was reflected the eco
nomic chaos of the day. Naturally many
will blame the administration in power.
1t has always been thus. Complaints
have been discussed and analyZed. A
program was organized to meet the
needs of the day. In constructive help
such action is unparalleled in history Of
time,
1t seems to be historically proven that
nations maintaining the best balance
between industry and agriculture are
the best equipped for their own defense;
that thereby they maintain the great
est safety for private wealth and ma
tional security.
Domestic Market First.
Probably the greatest factor in our
economic advancement is the fact that
our farmers and factory workers have
been able to sell each other nearly all
they have produced. Our employment
for tomorrow depends more on the do
mestic market than on any other eco
nonic factor. Markets for food prod
ucts and prosperity en- the farm can
l.. ;,of for the llnpm-
ployed and work for the idle:
In no way ignoring the Importance
Of foreign trade as a factor in our
general welfare. we are conscious OF
the fact that within ourselves and our
trade relations with each other can be
found the first encouragement for re-
covery and stability In such program
finance will again become stable and
confidence again restored,
Every type of enterprise is appealing
to the Government.
The answer has been found in the
most liberal program of Government
aid to every interest, a program no
government has heretofore suggested.
The responsibility of such a program
rested with those in control OF our
executive and legislative branches OF
the Government. Their task has been
irving. No man can be in place OF
such keen responsibility without feeling
deeply the burden of his task. Those
in high position understand the suffer-
ing Of the day. They fully appreciate
the tremendous burden involved. They
are apprehensive of the tendencies OF
the time Just recently 1t has been
proclaimed that we s-e:
"A representative democracy, pro-
eressive and unafraid to meet its prob
hut ontino than the f0llr-
dations of experience and not upon the
wave of emotion or the insensate de-
mands of a radicalism which grasps at
every opportunity to exploit the suffer-
ings of a people"
Harmony Over Ticket.
Thus. with due regard for the vari-
ance in views as to party prin cIples,
all we're of one mind on the person. 81
of our ticket for the campaign OF 1882.
In the personnel of the ticket Kan
sas is deservedly and properly recog-
nized. For the past four years there
has presided over the Senate an hon.
ored citizen OF your State. One fixed
in the fundamentals of government. One
who knows the interests of our people
of this valley. One who has an abid-
ing faith in our open spaces. One
who has a firm grasp Of our tribula-
tiOns. He Is VerSed IN the neeQS OF
the forgotten man: seasoned with sery-
ice in the House of Representatives;
polished in the art of leadership by a
long service both as a member of and
as a majority leader in the Senate OF
the United States.
1t Is but natural. in view OF this
splendid dedication Of his life to public
service that he should be renominated
as the Republican candidate for Vice
President In the campaign OF 1882
The convention duly authorized legally
constituted committee to proceed here
to this Capital of your good State to
say to this honored citizen that Kansas
Is again to share the honors of ma
tional ticket and that Charles E. Curtis
is the nominee for Vice President or
the Republican ticket in the November
election
Therefore. this committee brings yot
tidings of this denomination, and due
notice is accordingly given. In youl
response we are confident that you vii
again rededicate your service to tht
Republican cause for the good of 12o,'
100000 people over whom this Govern
ment wields control.
1t will be real pleasure for thi
committee and those Of your friend
and of our party gathered in this as
sembly as well as the country to receiv
your response and suggestions.
