Tbe nomination of Governor Hughes wss

The blue banner bearing the face of Taft
waa quickly raised by the Ohio delegation
and the delegates thronged about It, yelling
and whooping like a mass of maniacs.
After holding it for a time they bore it
onward down the aisle, cheering madly as
they went.

The chairman of the Oklahoma delega

Inspired by these memories and encour

ourselves for another combat and choose

a leader undsr whom defeat will be Im
poeaible arid victory will be complete and
g'orioue all along the line. And nothing
less than complete victory should bs our
s.m in these del btraUona.
Our party is now, as It always has been,
rich In material from which to choose our
presidentlsl candidate. From among the
many men who would fill ths presidency
with credit. It Is our duty to select the
man who best meets all the requirements
of thst exalted office and who, in addi
tion thereto, through hla record and per
sonality through ail hia quallU-s of mind
and heart, appeals most stronglv to the
patriotic IneUncta of ths independent Amer
ican voter. The head of our ticket la the
leader of our party. He ahould. therefore,
be a man who will give the ticket its
grrateat poasible strength and character.
Hia personality ahould I an Inspiration in
every congressional district; his name a
talisman in every election precinct; hia
public record expressive cf the glorious
history of our lrty, and tha radiant trl
umphe of our faith.
In the firat place, ths nominee of this
convention must be a man specially equip
ped by nature, training and experience fjr
the performance of the duties of the presi
dential ofrice. The csndidsts whom Illinois
presence has risen through natlvs ability
and long years of faithful servlcs to the
highest position in our national legisla
ture, the second place in the government
in dignity snd power. His long service in
congress haa given him a thorough knowl
edge of all ini of the country, perfect
familiarity with the needa of the people,
and a keen insight into the business of
the government In all its branches. He Is
the greatest government expert on rev
enues and a pproprlatlona currency and the
national debt. For a generation he baa
been intimate with the ablest men In
both parties, and he haa that rare wiajom
that cornea from long experience in public
life, innumerable confllcta that left no
trace of bitterness snd constsnt contact
with great minds of his sge. Ws hsve
had many illustrious speakers. Clay,
Blaine. Carlisle. Reed, any one of whom
would have adorned the preaidentla! office,
but in practical wisdom, knowledge of the
needs of the government, and influence
with hla aasoclates. no one of them
equalled Speaker Cannon, Illinois' candi
date tor the presidency.
The reasons given by Ms opponents why
Speaker Cannon ahould not be rraidnt
a e the very reasons which commend him
fcr the office. rnthlnkTng critica lightly
condemn him and hla assocatea in the
national legislature for what they have not
done. They do not stop to consider that
while it ia the privilege of all citlaens to
suggest whst congress should do. It is the
stern duty of that body to appropriate
according to the revenuea and legislate ac
cording to the constitution. Speaker Can
non has been censured and abused almost
aa aeverely aa were Washington. Lincoln
and McKlnley. And for what? For dilng
hla duty. In the face of cenaure and
abuse, he haa gone on with unflinching
courage and Joyoua serenity d-ing the
right aa It was given him to see the right
using his Influence to stem the tide of
wasteful sppropriatlona and to prevent the
passage of ill considered mesauree of
doubtful constitutionality. History will do
full Justice to Speaker Cannon's wisdom
snd courses, snd posterity will extol his
virtues. But why should we leave thlst
Pleaaant task to posterity? Why not he
Just and fair ourselves.' and forestall the
magnanimity of the historians? Why not
give to Speaker Cannon now hla well
earned reward, ao that be, as well as pos
terity, can enjoy it?
Speaker Csnnon knows the peopls and
sympathizes with them in their struggles,
because his own life has been a constant
atruggle. crowned by success. His sym
pathy for the Buffering and oppressed
rsme to him naturally by Inheritance and
early associations. Hla father. Dr. Can
non, waa a pious Quaker who bora testi
mony against slavery. He was an early
director in that railroad from which the
republican party took all the passengers;
the road on which men Journeyed only one
way. from the dark ur-derworld of bondage
up into the Joyoua light of freedom. Xlt la
little wonder that with such a father tha
aon'a firat campaign work and firat vote
ahould have been for the Great Emanci
pator. No one of this generation haa demon
strated so often or so successfully his
capacity for attracting the confidence and
the affections of hia fellow citlaena. Ni,e
teen timea he haa been elected to high of
fice by the voters of a district thst has no
superior in the Vnited Ststes for intelli
gence snd pstrlotlsm. Nineteen times the
sesl of approval haa been placed upon hla
character, and hia record, by those who
know him best. Thrice he haa been chosen
by the repreaerjtativea of all the people
to fill the highest leglslallre office In the
land. What living man can give like proni
lae of retaining, aa presidential candidate,
the support of the republicana and attract
ing the auffragea of the a.000,000 first voters
of the country who can control the coming
elect ioni?
Posterity will revere forever the name of
Abraham Lincoln, not alone becauas he
freed the slsves. but rsther because be
emancipated hia countrymen from thraldom
to ignoble Ideala in our civil snd political
life. And posterity will honor alwaya the
name of Theodore Roosevelt, not alone
because more than any living man -tie has
lightened the burdens of the weak, but
rather because he haa emancipated hia
countrymen from thraldom to unworthy
ideala in the world of business and flnanoe.
And the name of Csnnon will always be
lirJied with thst of Roosevelt as the
speaker who stood by the president and
helped to cryatallise hla policies Into law.
To whom could we entruat with greater

E. Hughea. said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tha Con
vention: This Is a republican convention
and we are republicana Our lob is to
nominate a winning ticket, and when ws
go our from this convention our business
is to elect tho ticket, no matter what ticket
we nominate.
Senator Beveridge: That's right
General Woodford: This is going to bs
a hard fight, and anrons who tells vou
that It la to ba a walkover makea a serious
mistake. I can speak only for the state
of New Tork, Tou gentlemen will apeak
and vote for your separate states. At
least one-tenth of the vote of New Tork
la today unattached to any party. New
Tork la not democratic: New York ia not
republican; Naar Tork is a doubtful stste,
and whether ws win or lose in New York
depends vsry largely on what ws do here
today.
I aaid I did not speak for the other
statea. I do believe that I know New
Tork, and there are Just two republicans
who can carry New Tork without a quea
tion of doubt. One of these republicana is
Id tbe White House at Washington (ap
plause) and the other is tn tbs state
house at Albany. (Applauae.)
We bars built a platform today that la
longer A voice: "Than Hanly'a speech."
Laughter much longer than my apeech
will be. Laughter and applause. Out of
ail that platform two great central ques
tions come and the rest form around them.
Una Is the regulation and control of cor
poratlona. (Applause.)
Governor Hughes has shown In his life
and work all that tha republican, platform
of today pledges our party to. The life
insurance companies of tbs country, ag
gregate and control mora than tL&9u.0f.i.
There are Issued and carried on the lives
of t ther people more than la.00G.U0O nollclea
Governor Hughes took this enormous ag
Kegate corporate capital; be fought It;
TTe examined it; be controlled it: and today
every Insurance corporation Is safe and
every policy Is good, and every company
is obeying the lsws; and . wherever over
this broad land there is a life Insurance
policy, there is a friend and advocate of
Hughea and a man who will vote for him.
One thing more: Against the wishes of
many of his political associates In New
York, hs drew our public utilities com
mission bill. It is long; it regulates every
public utility corporation. Already In New
Tork we have got what our platform
pledgee us ws shall have Jn the nation if
we aueceed. It la ours by hla act. By our
vote he is a living embodiment of suc
cessful corporate management and control
There is another great question that con
fronts us. It Is a question of right; It is
a question of mors! right; it is whether
the constitution of the United States shall
be obeyed or disregarded. We met It yes
terday in this sttempt to regulate the rep
resentation of the slates. Ws shall meet
it alwaya, wherever republicana are gath
ered, until absolute Justice Is done. Gen
tlemen, the msn who dares, because of the
requirements of our ststs constitution, to
fight the bosses snd ths gam Mere, who
dares to stand for the race track legiala
tion in New Tork, were bs president would
stand for the fourteenth snd fifteenth
smendmenta and ths whole power of tha
White House would ba back of those fund
amental law a.
Gentlemen, you have listened kindly
generously. My promise for brevity shall
be kept. Forty-eight years ago I was per
mitted ts sit in ths gallery of the great
Lincoln convention and saw Lincoln nom
inated. Today, after forty-eight years. I
corns back to a - convention in Chicago.
Those years are bright are starred with
glorious memories. Those years have wit
nessed our coming to power. Tboss years
have seen grest deeds done for humanity,
for ths right, for ths nstlon. I pray you,
gentlemen, that the spirit of Abraham
Lincoln rosy abide with this convention,
and that whoever among tbe young men
shall corns here again after fifty years
may find our land as free, our flag aa
proud, our record as a party as bright.
God keep the old republican party and
God give ua victory in tbs struggle on
