Roosevelt, formally notified of his nomination for vice-president of the United States on the democratic ticket by Homer 8. Cummings this afternoon, responded with & speech that teemed with enthusiasm for de- mocracy and which stoutly defended the peace and League of Nations of- fered by that party. Speaking of the league, Mr. Roosevelt declared it will not die because it is anti-war and not anti-national as charged. Mr. Roosevelt's speech of acceptance fol- lows in part: Accepts the Nomination. “I accept the nomination for the office of vice-president with humble- ness and ‘with a deep wish to give to our beloved country the best that s in me’ No one could receive a higher privilege or opportunity than to be thus associated with men and jdeals which I am confident will soon receive the support of the majority of our citizens. “In fact, 1 could not conscientious- ly accept it, iIf I had not come to know by the closest intimacy that he who s our selection for the presi- deney, and who Is my chief and yours, i* a man possessed of ldeals which are also mine. He will give to Am- erica that kind of leadership which will make us respect him and bring further greatness te our land. In James M. Cox I recognize one who can lead this nation fortvard in an unhalting mareh Of progress. Two Great Problems. Two great ptroblems will confront the next administration; our relations with the world and the pressing need of organized progress at home. , In our world problems we must either shut our eyes, sell our newly buillt merchant marine to more far- seeing forelgn powers, crush utterly by embargo and harassing legislation our forelgn trade, close our ports and bulld an imprégnable wall of costly armaments and live, as the Orlent used to ltve, a hermit nation, dream- ing of the past; or, we must open our eyes and see that modern civilization has hecome mo complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with the lives of other men in other coun- tries to make it possible to be in this world and not of it.

It ix idle to pretend that the war declaration of April, 1917, was a mere act of self- Aefenne, or that the object of our participation was solely to defeat the military power of the central nations of Burope.

American people have paid a staz- gering penalty” for the republican victory at the polls in 1918, Homer S. Cummings declared here today in for- mally notifying Franklin D. Roose- velt of his nomination as the demo- eratic party’s candidate for the vice- presidency. Undisputed in the ‘“material and moral leadership of the world” when the armistice was signed, he said, “who will deny that our title to that leadership has been grievously im- paired if not completely lost?" “What has happened to account for this lowering of morale and the for- feiture of the place of honor which had been won by American arms ahd American statesmanship?” Mr. Cum- mings asked. G. O, P. Hates Progress, “The answer is not far to seek. Practically coincident with the pubM- cation of the armistice came the news that the republican party had been successful in the congressional elec- tions of 1918. From that moment American progress stopped, partisan- ship took possession of public affairs and republican leaders became more interested in political success than in national honor. The results were immediate and disastrous. “Every enemy of soclety, of peace or of civilization took quick advan tage of the fatal period of hesitancy. American commerce, which ought to have been seeking every port in the world, was unable to develop adequate 9.—The trade channels or find settled basis for | development.

In peace, in war and in our rela- tions with other countries, the settled purpose of republican leadership has been to make trouble, irrespoctive of the merits of any problem involved. It has persisteiitly sought to increase irritation and discontent rather to allay them. From every element of discord, and ‘even of sedition, it has sought to draw some reswitant of partisan advantage.
