L, July Theodore Roosevelt to-day focmally opened the present campaign of 1904 at | his country home, Sagamore Hill Standing on a spot made dear to him by the associations of a lifetime, sur- rounded by his family and r-latives and friends, and in the presence of an | assemblage of men distinguished in el walks of life, he formally received and | accepted the nomination of the Repub- | lican party for President of the United | States. President Roosevelt’s speech of ac- ceptance was characteristically force- ful and direct in argument and replete with epigrammatic passages. It was received with immense enthusiasm by his audience. His satirical references to the Democratic party aroused laugh- ter and appiause. As the President concluded his speech | the | Speaker Cannon, chairman of notifieation committee, grasped his hand and congratulated him cordially. George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican National Committee, then extended his congratulations. He was fcllowed by all the members of the notification committee and the guests. The speech of the President will be circulated extensively in the campaign, as aside from the letter of acceptance, which he will issue in a few weeks, i probably will be his only public utter- ance during the campaign. AGAMORE HILL ASTIR EARLY. From the arrival of the special train with the National Committee on board until its departure not a hitch occurred. In accordance with the wish of the President, the ceremony was made as simple as possible. The formal netification of the nomi- nation was made on behailf of a com- Territory in the United States by Jo- seph G. Cannon, Speaker of the House. The day opened with ideal weather and the arrangements for the cere- | mony were completed at an early hour. veranda of the Presidents | house at Sagamore Hill, extending al- | The wide most entirely around the building, was decorated with American flags hung from pillar to pillar. In addition man; houses in the neighborhoed of the Roosevelt home in Oyster Bay were draped with the national colors. Across the main street of the village there hung a large Roosevelt and Fairbanks banner. Speaker Cannon and his committee of nctification, together with many of the invited guests, arrived on a special train from Ne iu the morning, the York having been made committee was notatly large, regrets being received from only three—James Comb Yor ing. Senator Depew is in Europe and tor Clark was prevented by im- portant business fromn being present. PRESENTED TO MRS. ROOSEVELT President Roosevelt jersonally re- ceived the members of the committee | and other guests as they arrived at Sagamore Hill. He knew almost every man perscnally. After the visitors had been greeted by the President, Secre tary Loeb presented each one to Mr: Roosevelt and to Miss Alice Roosevelt. Mrs. Roosevelt extended to all a cordial welcome and the hospitality of her liome. After some consultation between the Speaker Cannon, Chairman decided to hold the exercises on the veranda. The ceremony was informal. As Speaker Cannon, attired in a dark frock suit, stepped on a chair near the veranda railing, he was g.eeted cor- dially. Whiie he read the notification President Roosevelt stood at his right hand, giving close attention to the ad- dress. Mrs. Roosevelt, surrounded by her children, Kermit, Ethel and Quen- tin, stood facing Cannon, almost in the center of the crowd. NNON'S NOTIFICATION SPEECH Cannon was frequently interrupted by applause. His thrusts at the Demo- cratic party, his reference to the tar- iff and to the gold standard and to the struction of the Panama canal aroused much enthusiasm. He spoke as follows: Mr. sident—The people of the United States, by blood, heredity, education and practice are a_self-governing people. We have sometimes been subject to prejudice and em- barrassment from harmful conditions, but we bave outgrown prejudice and overcome condi- tions as rapidly as possible. with due regard to law and the rights of individuals. We have sometimes made mistakes from a false sense of security or from a desire to change poli- cies Instead of letting well enough alone, merely to see what would happen; but we have always pald the penalty of unwise ac- tion at the ballot box and endured the suffer- ing until, under the law, through the ballot box, we have returned to correct policies. Tested bv_experience, no natlon has o suc- cesstully solved all problems and chosen proper policies as our nation. Under the lead of the Republican party for more than forty years, the United Sfates, from being a third-class power among tRe nations, has become in every reepect first. The people rule. The people ruling, it is necessary that they should be competent to rule. Competent requires not only patriotism but material weil being, education, statecraft.

Each is to be granted the full protection of law, and each in turn is to be held to strict obedience of the law; for no man is above it and no We have shown that the Monroe doctrine is a living reality, designed for the hurt of no nation, but for the protection of civilization on the Western Continent and for the peace We have established in the Philippine Islands a government by Americans, assisted We are steadily striving to transform this into self-government by Filipinos, as- S the same time protecting our citizens laboring | in_production against the competition of for- | eign labor. Under this policy our manufa | tured product to-day is one-third the produ | of the civilized world and our people receive almost double the pay for their labor that similar labor receives elsewhere in the world, tlereby enabling us to bear the burdens of citizenship. X | Liberal compensation for labor makes liberal ’ customers for our progress. Under this policy |%of protection our home market affords all our | people a better market than has any other people on earth and this, too, even if we did noc sell any of our preducts abroad. In addi- tion to this we have come to be the greatest exporting nation in the world. For the year ending June 30, 1904, our exports to foreign countries were valued at §1,460,000.000, of | which $450,000,000 were products of the fae- | | tory. The world fell in our debt last year; | $470,000,000, an Increase of $75,000,000 over the preceding year. This policy of protection has always been | opposed by the opponents of the Republican party and is opposed by them to-day. In their last national platform, adopted at St Louis, they denounce protection as robbery. They never have been given power but they proceeded by word and act to destroy the policy of protection. Their platform is as silent as the grave touching the gold standard and our currency system. Their chosen leader, after his nomination, having been as silent as the sphynx up to that time, sent his tele- gram. saying In substance that the goid standard is established and that he will gov- | ern himself accordingly if he should be elected. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. | I congratulate him. It is better to be n’m! late than never. It is better to be right in one thing than wrong in all things. 1 wonder if it | ever occurred to him that if his vote and sup- | port for his party's candidate in 1886 and 1800 | had been decisive we would now have the sil- 1 wonder what made him send after he was nominated, and why did he not send it before? When did he have a change of heart and judgment? And does he at heart believe in the gold standard | and our currency system_ or does he try mow t0 reap where he has not sown? 1f, perchance, | | he should be elected by forcing together dis’ | | cordant elements, 1 submit that, with a Demo- | | cratic House of Representatives or House and ver standard. that telegram, | Senate, there would be no harmonious action | in legislation, or administration that would | benefit the people, but that doubt and discon- | tent would everywhere distress production and H labor. Consumption would be curtailed. In | short, we would have an experience similar to | that from 1893 to 1807. | It this chosen leader and his friends ars | converts to Republican policles, should not they “bring forth fruits meet for repentance’* | before they ask to be placed in the highest po- sitions to affect the well being of all; or, if | they profess ail things to all men, then they | thy the confidence of any man. If | vith power, will they follow in the | | paths of legislation according to their loves | | and votes as manifested by their action al- ways heretofore, or will they stand by, protect | and defend the gold standard and our currency | system_that have been created under the lead | of the Republican party? Correct tevenue la protection or free trade, the gold standard and our currency | system all depend on the sentiment of the majority of our people as voiced at the ballot A _majority may ohange our revenue ; a majority may change our currency a majority may destroy the gold standard and ‘establish the silver standard, or, in lieu | of either or both, make the Treasury note, non- | interest bearing and irredeemable, the sole | standard of value. Sir, let us turn from the region of doubt and double dealing, the debatable land, to the region of assured certainty. The Republican | party stands for protection. It etands for the “ gold standard and our currency system. All | these dwell in lemislation enacted under the lead of the Republican party and against the | most determined opposition of the Democratic | party, including its leader and candidate. | Thesé being our policiés, and having been most useful to the country, we have confidence in and love them. If it be necessary-from time to time that they should be strengthened here and controlled there, the Republican party stands ready with lov! competent hands to apply the proper reme: | 1 say ‘“remedy.” Being our policies, we will not ngly subject them to their enemlies for slow starvation on the one hand or to sudden destruction on the other, FIRST AMONG THE NATIONS. Since the Republican party was restored to power. in 1887, under the lead of McKinley, our country has prospered in production and in commerce as it has never prospered before. | In wealth we stand first among all the na- tions. Under the lead of Willlam McKinley the war with Spain was speedily brought to a successful conclusion. Under the treaty of peace and our action Cuba is free, and, under guarantees written in her constitution and our legislation it s assured that she will ever remain free. We also acquired Porto Kico, Guam and the Philippines by a treaty the i cation of which was only possible by the | votes of Democratic Senators. Civil Govern- ment_has been established in Porto Rico and we are journeying toward civil government in the Philippines as rapidly as the people of the ago are able to recelve it; and this, too, ithstanding the false cry of ‘limperial. jsm’ raised by the Democratic party and still insisted upon, which led to insurrection in the Phillppines and tends to lead to further insur. rection there. The record of the Republican party under the lead of Willlam McKinley h: passed into history. Who dares assall 1t? In the history of the republic, .in time of peace, mo executive has had gfeater ques- tions 'to deal with than yourself, and nome have brought greater courage, wisdom and patriotism to their solution. You have en- forced the law against the mighty and the lowly without fear, favor or partiality. der the constitution you have recommended legislation to from time to time, as it was your duty to do,- and when it was passed by Congress have approved It.

Those whose only grievance s that you have enforced the law and those who carp for mere partisan capital will not, in my judzment, 1exp the harvest of success. The Republican party for you and under your leadership appeals to the great body of the people who live in the sweat of their faces, make the civilization, control the republic, fight its battles and de- termine its policies, for approval and con- tinuance in power. o The office of President of the United States is the greatest on earth and many competent men in the Republican party are ambitious (o hold_it, yet the Republican convention met at Chicago June Jast and ananimously, with one accord, mominated you as the candidace of the party for President. 1 am sure ail Re- publicans and a multitude of good citizens who do not call themselves Republicans said **Amen."" In pursuance of the usual custom the con- vention appointed a committee, of which it honored me with the chairmanship, to walt on you and inform you of its action, which duty, speaking for the committee, 1 now cheerfully perform, with the hope and the confident cx- pectation that a majority of the people of the republic will in November next approve the action of the convention by choosing Electors who will assure vour election to the I'esi- dency as your own successor. MR. ROOSEVELT'S ACCEPTANCE. President Roosevelt shook Cannon's hand heartily at the conclusion of the notification speech and then mounted the chair to deliver his address in re- sponse. So cordial a reception was giv- en to him that it was some time before he could proceed. He was in excellent vuice, and, though he followed the printed text of his speech, he seldom referred to it. The address was punc- tuated by applause. The President said: Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the Notifica- tion Committee: 1 am deeply sensible of the high honor conferred upan me by the repre- sentatives of the Republican party assembled in convention, and I accept the nomination for the Presidency with solemn realization of the obligations 1 arsume. I heartily approve the declaration of principles which the national convention has adopted, and at some future day 1 shall communicate fo you, Mr. Chair- man, more at length and”in detail a formal written acceptance of the nomination. Three years ago I became President because of the death of my lamented predecessor. I I 1 out his principles and policies for the honor and the interest of the country. To the best of my ability I have kept the promises thus made. If next November my countrymen con- firm at the polls the action of the conventon you represent, 1 shall, under Providence, con tinue to work with an eye single to the wel fare of all our people. A party ie of wortl only In so far as it promotes the national In- terest, and every officlal, high or low, can serve his party best by rendering to the peo- ple the best service of which he is capable. Effective government comes only as the re- sult of the loyal co-operation of many differ- ent persons. The members of a legislative ma- Jority, the officers in the various departments of the administration, and the legislative and executive branches as toward each other, must work together with subordination of self to the common end of successful government. We who have been entrusted with power as public servants during the past seven vears of administration and legislation now come before the people content to be judged by our record of achievement. In the years that have gone by we have made the deed square with the word; and if we are continued in power we shall unswervingly follow out the great lines of public policy which the Republican party has already laid down; a public policy to which we are giving and shall give a united ana therefore an efficient support. . In all of these wo are more fortunate than our opponents, who now appeal for confl- dence on the ground, which some express and some geek to have confidentially understood, that if triumphant they may trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they have lald down as vital, and to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because of which they ask that the administration itself be driven from power. Seemingly their present attitude their past record s that some of them mistaken and others insincere. We make our appeal in a wholly different spirit. We are not constrained to keep silent on any vital question; we are divided on no vital ques- tion; our pol is continuous, and is the same for all sections and localitles. There is nothing experimental about the govern- ment we ask the people to continue in power, for our performance in the past, our proved sovernmental efficiency is a guarantee as to our promises for the future. Our opponents, either openly or secretly, according to their several temperaments, now ask the people to trust to their present promises in considera- tion of the fact that they intend to treat their past promises null_and void. ~We know our own minds and we have kept of the same mind for a sufficient length of time to Blve to our policy coherence and sanity. In such a fundamental matter as the enforce- ment of the law we do not have to depend upon promises, but merely to ask that our record be taken as an earnest promise of what we shall continue to do. In dealing with the great organizations known as trusts, we do 1Ot have to explain why the laws were not er- forced but to point out that they actually have been enforced and that legislation has been enacted to increase the effectiveness of their enforcement. We do not have to pro- pose to ‘‘turn the rascals out,” for we have have, under the constitution, led in making a treaty which was ratified by the Senate and | is approved by the people, which not only ascures, but under the law and appropriations made by Congress proceeds with the construc- tion of the Panama canal. The Republican party, under your leader- ship, keeps its records from the beginning un- der Lincoln of doing things—the right thing at the right time and in the right way—pot withstanding the opposition of tHose who op- pose the right policies from the scifish or partisan standpoint, They dare not tell the truth about your nfficial action or the rasord CONTROL OF THE PANAMA ROAD S aiiciios Continued ¥From Page 1, Column 4. bt bbb sl o Bt vt e that President Roosevelt will not coun- tenance the continuance of the con- tract between the Railway and the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany. The information first came from ‘Wasl . ‘When Commissioner Grunsky, one of the Panama Canal board, came out to the coast recently Jhe was interviewed and assurance on a vital point was made doubly sure. The President has given the necessary order. The enormous advantages that must result soon to Pacific Coast com- merce and trade were then immediate- ly apparent. The perception of them led to the conferences that have been in progress as alluded to in the fore- going. None of the parties to the conference was came on from Chicago by reason of the gravity of the situation for the transcontinental railway lines of the Harriman system, to talk with the business men, who have not been back- ward in telling of the local traffic men what they desired. One conference, at which Stubbs, R. P. Schwerin, repre- senting the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and business men were pres- ent, lasted five hours. Among those who have been concerned in presenting facts and the claims of the business men of the coast are William R. ‘Wheeler of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, who is prominent in the counsels of the Pacific Coast Manufacturers’ and Job- bers’ Association, and the Metal and Hardware Association; A. C. Rulofson, of Baker & Hamilton, also in the coun- sels of the Manufacturers’jand Jobbers and the Metal and Hardware Associa. tions; and Harry D. Loveland, presi- dent of the Pacific Coast Manufactur- ers’ and Jobbers’ Association, and also identified with other organizations that deal with large trade and commercial matters. The San Francisco business men did shown in every deed that whenever by dili- gent investigation a public official can be found who has betrayed his trust he will be punished to the full extent of the law without regard to whether he was appointed under a Republican or _a Democratic administration. This Is the efficient way to turn the rascals out and to keep them out, and it has the merit of sincerity. ~Moreover the betravals of trust in the last sevgn years have been insignificant in number when co with the extent of the public service. Never has the administration of the Government been on a cleaner and higher level; never has the not have to say broadly that when the Panama railway is open to all users, on even terms, to be so maintained un. til the Panama canal is opened, ft would be possible for any one to put on tramp steamships and move freights to and fro between New York and San Francisco or betwe other sea points, entirely independent of the wishes and policies of the South- ern Pacific apd Pacific Mail steam- ship combination of transporta- \tion lines. This was understood on all sides, It was also of com- mon knbwledge that the Oriental busi- ness could be carried on in inde- pendent steamship lines, which is now and has been impessible for many ¥eul. The immediate need of San cisco to have its trade territory extended was more pressing any other local consideration, and to_this the San Francisco business men have addressed their efforts. perience.

Assureqsy It is unwise to change the policies | which have worked so well and which are now Working so well. Prosperity has come at home. The national honor and interest have been up. held abroad. We have placed the finances of this nation upon a sound gold basis. We have done this with the aid of many who were for- merly our opponents, but who would neither cpenly support nor silently acquiesce in the heresy of unsound finance; and we have done it against the convimeed and violent opposition of the mass of cur present opponents, who still Tefuse to recant the unsound opinions which for the moment they think it inexpedient to assert. We know what we mean when we speak of honest and stable currency. We mean the same thing from year to year. We do not have to avold a definite and conclusive committal on the most important issue which has recently been before the people and Wwhich may at any time in the near future be Lefore them again. Upon the principles which underlie this issue convictions of half of our Lumber do not clash with those of the other half. So long as the Republican party is in power the gold standard is settled, not as a matter of temporary political expediencey, not because of shifting conditions in the produc- tion of gold in certain mining centers, but in accordance with what we regard as the funda- mental prineiples of morality and wisdom. Under the financial legislation which we have enactsd there is mow ample circulation for every business need; and every dollar_of this circulation is worth a dollar in gold. We have reduced the interest bearing deht, and in £till larger measure the interest on tl All of the war taxes imposed during the Span- ish war have been removed with a view to re- lleve the people and to prevent the accumula- tion of an unnecessary surplus. The result is that hardly ever before have the expenses and income of the country so closely corresponded. In the fiscal year that has just closed the ex- | cess of income over the ordinary expenditures was $9,060,000. This does not take account of the $50,000,000 expended out of the accumulated surplus for the irchase of the isthmian canal. 1t is an extraordinary proof of the sound finan- clal condition of the nation that, instead of following the usual course in such matters and throwin§ the burden upon posterity by an is- sue of bonds, we were able to make the pay- ment outright and yet after it to have in the treasury a surpius of $160,000.000. Moreover, We were able to pay this $50,000,000 out of hand without causing the slightest disturbance to_business conditio We Have enacted & tariff law under which during the last few years the country has at- tained a height of material wellbeing never before reached. Wages are higher than ever before. That whenever the need arises there should be a readjustment of the tariff sched- ules is undoubted, but such changes can with safety be made only by those whose devotion to the principles of a protective tariff is be- | =vond question, for otherwise the changes would | amount not to readjustment, but to repeal. The readjustment when made must maintain and not destroy the protective policy. To the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer this is vital, but perhaps no other man is so much in- terested as the wage worker in the mainten- ance of our present economic system, both as regards the finances and the tariff. The stand- ard of living of our wage workers is higher than that of any other country, and it cannot 80 remain unless we have a protective tariff which shall always keep as a minimum a rate of duty sufficlent to cover the difference be- tween the labor cost here and abroad. TARIFF LAWS COMPARED. Those who, like our opponents, ‘“‘denounce protection as & robbery,” thereby explicitly commit themselves to the proposition that if they were to revise the tariff no heed -would be paid to the necessity of meeting this dif- ference between' the standards of living for wage-workers here and in other countries; and therefore on this point their antagonism to our position is fundamental. Here again we ask that their promises and ours be judged by what has been done in the immediate pasi. We ask that sober and sensible men compare the workings of the present tariff law and the conditions which obtain under it, with the workings of the preceding tariff iaw of 1894 and the conditions which that tariff of 1894 helped to bring about. We believe in reciprocity with foreign na- tions on the terms outlined in President Me- Kinley’s last speech, which urged the ex- tension of our foreign markets by reciprocal agreements whenever they _ could be made Wwithout injury to American industry and labor. It is ‘a singular fact that the only great reciprocity treaty recently adopted—that with Cuba—was finally opposed almost alone by the representatives of the very party which now states that it favors reciprocity. And here agaln we ask that the worth of our words be judged by comparing their deeds with ours. On this Cuban reciprocity treaty there were at the outset grave differences of opinion among ourselves, and the notable thing in the negotiation and ratification of the treaty and in the legislation which carrled it Into effect was the highly phactical madner in which, without sacrifice of principle, these differences of opinion were reconciled. There Was no rupture of a great party, but an ex- cellent practical outcome, the result of the harmonious co-operation of two _successive Presidents and two successive Congresses. This is an {llustration of the governing ca- pacity which entitles us to {he confidence of the people not only In our purposes bud in our practical ability to achieve these purposes. Judging by the history of the last twelve years, down to this very month, is there Justification for believing that under similar circumstances and with similar initial dif- ferences of opnion our opponents would have achieved any practical result? ‘We have already shown In actual fact that our policy is to do falr and equal justice to all men, paying no heed to whethér a man s rich or poor; paying no heed to h: hig creed or his birthpiace. st ‘e recognize the organization of and the organization of labor ae natural wer. comes of our Industrial system. Each kind of organization s to be favored so long as it acts in a spirit of justice and regard for the rights of others.

The humblest individual s to have his rights safeguarded as scrupulo of the strongest organization, for each is to receive justice, no more and no less. The problems with which we have to deal in our modern industria] and soclal life are manifold; but the spirit In° which it is necessary proach their solution is simply the s y as those to ap- pirit of Francisco merchants, had demon- strated that freights could be brought in by sea and be sent far inland before they would be unable to meet the com- petition from Chicago. St. Louis and other Eastern and Middle West points; also that even better conditions for the Interests of the Pacific Coast, which the transcontinental railways and steam- ship lines must recognize, were about to be created, possessing the element of permanency. 'S The representatives of the Harriman interests by land and by sea have met Wwith the business men repeatedly and have discussed various phases of the i sues for the purpose of getting a full understanding. Their deliberations have been carried on as secretly as pos- sible.

We con- ducted the negotiation for its construction with the nicest and most scrupulous honor and in a spirit of the largest generosity toward those through whose territory it was to run. Bvery sinister effort which could be devised by the spirit of faction, or the spirit of self-interest, was made/in order to defeat the treaty with® Panama add thereby prevent the consummation of this work. The construction : of the canal is now an assured fact; but most | certainly it s unwise to entrust the carrying ut of so momentous a policy to those who have endeavored to defeat the whole under- taking. Our foreign policy has been so conducted that, while not one of our just claims has been sacrificed. our relations with all foreign nations are now of the most peaceful kind; there is not a cloud on the horizon. The last cause of irritation between us and any other nation was removed by the settlement of the Alaska boundary. In the Caribbean Sea we have made good our promises of independence to Cuba, and have proved our assertion that our mission in the island was one of justice and not of self- aggrandizement; and thereby no less than by our action in Venezuela and Panama we have | shown that the Momroe doctrine is a living reality, designed for the hurt of no natiom, but for the protection of civilization on the Western continent, and for the peace of the world. Our steady growth in power has gone hand in hand with a strengthening disposition to use this power with strict regard for the rights of others, and for the cause of inter- national justice and good will We earnestly desire friendship with all the nations of the new and old world; and we endeavor to place our relations with them upon a_ basis of reciprocal advantage Instead of Hostility. We hold that the prosperity of each nation is an aid and not a hindrance to the prosperity of other nations. We seek inter- national amity for the same reasons that make us belfeve in peace within our borders: and we seek this peace not because we are afraid or unready, but because we think peace is right as well as advantageous, PROBLEM OF THE PHILIPPINES. American interests in the Pacific have rap- idly grown. American enterprise has laid_a cable aeross this the greatest of oceans. We have proved in effective fashion that we wish the Chinese empire well and desire its integ- rity ‘and independence. Our foothold in the Phillppines greatly strengthens our position in the competition for trade of the East; but we are governing the Philippines in the interest of the Philippine people themselves. We have already given them a large share in their government, and our purpose is to increase this share as rapidly as they give evidence of in- creasing fitness for the task. The great ma- jority of the officfals of the islands, whether elective or appointive, are already active FY pinos. We are now providing for a legislative assembly. This Is the first step to be taken in the future, and it would be eminently unwise to declare ‘'what our next step will be until this first step has been taken and the results are manifest. To have gone faster than we have already gone in giving the islanders a con- stantly increasing measure of self-government would have been disastrous. At the present moment, to give political independence to the islands ‘would result in the immediate loss of vil rights, personal liberty and publc order regards the mass of the Filipinos, for the 3 majority of the islanders have been given those | great boons by us and only keep them because we vigilantly safeguard and guarantee them. at this time would mean to the average native the loss of his barely won ctvil freedom. We have established in the islands a government by Americans assisted by Filipinos. We are steadily striving to transform this Into self- government by the Filipinos assisted by the Americans. The principles which we uphold shouid appeal to all our countrymen in all por- tions of our country. Above all, they should give us strength with the men and women who are the spiritual heirs of those who upheld the hands of Abraham Lincoln, for we are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Abraham Lincol napproached his. Dur- ing the seven years that have just passed there is no duty, domestic or foreign, which we have shirked;” no necessary task which we have feared to undertake, or which we have not performed with reasonable efficiency. We have never pleaded impotence. We have never sought refuge in_criticism and complaint in- stead of action. We face the future with our past ond our present as guarantors of our promises, and we are content to stand or fall by the record which we have made and are making. CALLS FOR GOVERNOR PARDEE. After the informal reception which followed the address, Speaker Cannon suggested that all the visitors assem- ble on the lawn at the foot of the veranda steps “in order that they have their respective shadows secured ere the substance fade.” As the President tographer he called for Governor Par- dee of California and W. S." Simpson of Texas to stand near him. These two, with Speaker Cannon, Chairman Cortelyou, Governor Odell of New York, Cornelius N. Bliss and Frank S. Black, were grouped about the Presi- dent as the photographs were taken. A buffet luncheon followed. The C | the descended the steps to face the pho- | SPEECH DISTRICT MEETINGS TO-NIGHT Republican Voters Preparing for Election. At the primary election Tuesday, August 9, delegates to the mominat- ing conventions of the several political parties will be chosen. The Republi- cans of San Francisco are all taking an interest in the coming event. To-night there will be meetings in the various Assembly districts for the pur- pose of proposing the names of men to represent the party in the State, Con- gressional and local conventions. The ccnferences to-night will be under the immediate auspices of the Republican County Committee. In three or four districts independent tickets will be put ferward to represent the sentiment of veters who are not inclined to obey the direction of the local governing body of the party. Independent Republicans of Thirty-second Assembly District will meet at Maennerbund Hall next Saturday evening and propose delegates for the State and city conveptions, and the votes of the party on primary elec- tion day will decide the contest. The nomination for State Senator to repre- sent the Ninteenth Senatorial District is involved in the fight, and there are indications that the independent dele- gation will support Senator Richard J. Welch for another term. ‘The County Committee programme may not prove acceptable to the Re- publican citizens of the Forty-first As- sembly District, as it is intimated that John H. Nelson is slated for renomina- tion to the State Senate to represent the Twenty-fifth Senatorial District, of which the Forty-first Assembly District is a subdivision. It is fairly well un- derstood that Nelson has the support of A. Ruef. Repubjicans of the Forty- first are inclined to support E. J. Prin- gle for Senator. For the Assembly to represent the Forty-first, Maxwell McNutt is men- tioned. The district is largely Repub- lican, but the voters are quick to resent anything which bears the semblance of outside interference in their local af- fairs. When regular nominations are not acceptable to the citizens, independ- ent tickets are put in the field and gen- erally elected. The Democrats are making extensive preparations for the Parker and Davis ratification meeting at the Alhambra Theater to-night. Thomas J. Geary has been added to the list of orators. Joseph S. Tobin will preside. Timothy Spellacy of Kern, chairman of the State committee, was at Democratic gendquaflel’s, California Hotel, yester- ay. Judge Murasky will sit In his cham- bers on next Monday and Thursday evenings, August 1 and 4, at 8 o’clock to accommodate aliens who desire to com- plete their natufalization. It is requis- ite to entitle an alien to vote that he be naturalized ninety days before an election. August 10 will be the last day on which an alien can qualify for the Presidential election, November 8, 1904. FOLK’'S OPPONENT CHOSEN. Cyrus P. Walbridge Repubilcan Nomi- nee for Governor of Missouri. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 27.—Cyrus P. ‘Walbridge of St. Louis was nominated for Governor of Missouri at 10:45 o'clock to-night, on the first baliot taken by the State Republican Con- vention. He polled 522 votes out of a total of John C. McKinley polled 15114 votes, J. H. Bothwell 1041 and lL.eo Rassieur 45. The platform adopted follows closely the features of the national party principles and takes a firm stand /against boodleism in the State. The Democratic party is condemned on a charge of fostering crooked elec- tion methods in the State and for al- leged dishonesty in the handling of State funds. — Wine 130 years old exists in Switzer- land. L N side of any railway combination. The full effect of the conferences that are going on in this city will not be realized for some time. Questions of equal importance to the trade and commerce of this coast have not been considered at any time since the first transcontinental railway was constructed and the first railway tariff was made effective. ERTISEMENTS. President’s children, nephew and nieces served the guests. Early in the afternoon William Barnes Jr. of Albany pinned a cam- paign button on the coat of former Governor Black. While Black was conversing with the President, Gov- ernor Odell approached and, seeing the button, inquired: “Black, when did you leave the Re- publican party?” “Haven't left,” was the reply. “Then, why are you wearing that but. ton_ around here?” Glancing at the button and discover- ing that it bore a fine likeness of Judge Parker, he remarked: “That proves absolutely what sub- lime confidence we up-State Repub- licAns have in one another.” During the afternoon, before the de- parture of the guests, the President had conferences with several of them. To-morrow President Roosevelt will start for Washington. It is not un- likely that he will return to Oyster Bay in two weeks, thus shortening his proposeé¢ stay at the national capital. conferences or of the subject matters that are still open. BENEFITS FOR COAST. President Roosevelt’s move in favor of open competition between carriers, by the use of the Panama railway, under conditions that elimmnate all dis- crimination, has filled the business men ard manufacturers of the coast with enthusiasm. Growing out of it is a possibility that the trade area of San Francisco may be permanently extend- ed eastward to Salt Lake or beyond. The interests of New York and Call- fornia, by reason of the position of both on the seaboard, are the same in the freedom of the Panama road. The transcontinental carriers have been making rates that favor Chicago and Middle West points as against New York and have built up their trade at the expense of the Atlantic seaboard. It is supposed here that any rate that the transcontinental carriers may make for Chicago into Salt Lake and the Salt York and other Atlantic points, by the use of seaboard out- When the tongue is coated, appetite poor and sleep restless, you will find a few doses of the Bitters will do you a world of good.
