Senator Ellhu Hoot of New York today delivered the keynote speech. the Republican national na-tional convention? after one of the warmest contests on record as to who should be elected temporary chairman chair-man of the national body?The speech was received with great enthusiasm by the convention. Senator Hoot said the ltcpubllcau party was entitled to n popular vote of confidence, having demonstrated that It Is the party of amrmntlve constructive con-structive policies, and had given efficient, ef-ficient, honest nnd economical administration. admin-istration. Senator lloot quoted Pre dent Taft's promise In his speech of acceptance four years ago, and said It had been faithfully observed. He went on to polntout that the party stands for a protective tariff, but Is ready to remove any abuses of the tnr-IIT.-nnd proposed to do this through having the facts ascertained by en Impartial commission. Senator Hoot endorsed the recommendations recom-mendations of the currency commission, commis-sion, nnd revlowed the beneflclent acts of tho administration In enforcing tho anti-trust law, the pure food law, carrying on tho conservation work! and effecting great reforms In tho public pub-lic service, In the Interests of economy. econ-omy. Ho called attention t that the Democratic House had refused re-fused an appropriation for two battle ships this year. Referring to the Panama canal he asked whether tho people of America wished that the honors of that "greater "great-er than Roman triumph" bo given, not to men who wlehed tho great design, de-sign, but to tho men who opposed and scoffed and hlndored nnd sought to frustrato the enterprise until In spite of that Its success was assured. Asserting that the, Republican party will maintain tho power nnd honor of tho nation, he added that it also "will observe those limitations which the constitution set? up for the preorvn-tlon preorvn-tlon of local self-government, nnd which prescribe the boundary of olll- clal power." Senator Root's Speech. Mr. Hoot spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the convention: The struggle for leadership In the Republican Repub-lican party, which has so long engrossed en-grossed the attention and excited the feelings of its members, Is nbout to be determined by the selection of a candidate. The varying claims of opinion for recognition In tho political creed of the party nro about to be settled by the adoption of a platform The supreme council of the party In this great national convention, representing re-presenting every state nnd territory in due proportion, according to rules long since established, Is about to appeal ap-peal to the American people for tho continuance of the power of government, govern-ment, which tho party has exercised With but brief Interruptions for more than halt a century. In the performance of duty by the convention nnd lit the acceptance of ts conclusions by Republicans, IsSto fce applied tho ever-recurring test ot a party's fitness to govern Its coherence coher-ence nnd Its formntlve nnd controlling power of organization. Without organized parties, having these qualities of coherence nnd loyalty loy-alty free populur government become a confused conflict between a vaBt multitude of Individual opinions. Individuals Indi-viduals Interests, Individual ntlr:ic. tlons and repulsions. Entitled To Confidence. The lofty purpose of Its great originators or-iginators has been transmitted by spiritual succession from geuurntlon to generation of party leaders, and It Is no Idle rhetoric when we say, as we have so often said nnd are nbout to suy again to the American peoplo: Wo are entitled to your belief In the sincerity of the principles wo profess and the loyalty of our candidates to those principles, because we are the party of Lincoln, and Sumner, and Seward, nnd Andrew, und Morton, nnd Grant, and Hayes, nnd Gp.rtield, nnd Arthur, and Harrison, nnd Blaine, and Hour, and McKlnley. We claim that we are entitled to a popular vote of confidence ut the coming com-ing election, because we have demonstrated demon-strated that we ure the party ot affirmative, af-firmative, constructive policies ror the betterment and progress In our country, In all the fields upon which the activity and influence of government govern-ment can rightly enter. We claim It because we have shown ourselves a party of elllclent, honest and economical econom-ical administration In which public moneys are faithfully applied, appoint Continued on page 2. 1 m If MASTERLY RESUME OF PARTY I j RECORD MADE BY CHAIRMAN LbBBH 'i ' H 1 j Continued from rage 1.

B i1 i - President Taft In his speech of ac H s '; , coptanco on the 28th of July, 1908, PH r ' l paid a Just tribute to the grcnt scr- PH ' I vlQo .tendered by his predecessor In PH ' Awakening the public conscience, In- PH auguratlng reforms nnd saving the PH t i country from the dangers of a pluto- PPJ . crxctic government. He instanced the PPJ railroad rate law, tho prevention of i the railroad rate dlscrlmlnatloiiH, the PH enXcuxoment of the anti-trust law, the PB pure fpoil Inw, tlio meat Inspection PH , Jaw. the general suiicrvlslon and con- PjpJ trol of transportation companies, tho I conservation of natural resources, and proceeded Jo say: b "The chief function of the next ad- H , ministration, Ju wy Judgment, Is ills- PPJ j, tlnct from nnd a .progressive develop- PPJ f f ment from that which has been per- PPJ I I formed by President Jtfoosevelt.

PPJ . There spoke the voice of two lie- PH jiubllcnn administrations and the PPJ promiso of that declaration has been PPJ ,! faithfully observed with painstaking PH and assiduous care. The Republican PH administration which is now drawing PH I , to a close has engaged In completing PPJ. and perfecting tho machinery In np- PH plying tho standards and working out PH ,i the practical results of established lie- PK I publican policies, including also the PPJ , j, McKInley policies of a protective tar- PPPJ.

PP i, The Republican party stands now, B i! as .McKInley stood, for a protective PH i tariff, while the Democratc party PB p i stands against the principle of protec- PH It tlon and for a tariff for rovemio only. B j I We stand not for tho abuses of the B ' ' tnrilT, but for the bencflclent uses. No PH tariff can be revised bo moderate, so PB I reasonable that It will not be rejected PPJ by the Democratic party, provided its PPB duties bo adjusted with reference to PIB labor cost so as to protect American Ppi . products against being driven out ot PPJ the market by foreign underselling PlK made posslblo through the lower rate PPK of wages In other countries. PH The American forcluu merchant scr- PPS , vice has been driven from the face PPK ' of the waters because, at tho wages PH 0( the Amerlcau sailors nnd tho Amor- B f can standard of living It could not BH complete with foreign shipping. H 1 hae said tnut we do not stand H for the abuses of the tariff. The chlet BH cause of abuse Is that wo liavo out- BH grown our old methods of tarlR-mak- Bj lng. Our productho Inaustries hne PBBJ become too vast and complicated, our Bj commercial relations too extensive BB for any committee of Congress of it- PH self to get at tho facts to which tne PPB i , principles of protection may be prop- PPB erly applied. PPB The Republican party pi eposes to PBBJ ' remedy this defective method through BBB having tho facts ascertained by an im- BBB partial commission through thorough PBBJ scientific Investigation, so that tbo BBB President nnd Congress shall have PBBJ the bnsls for the Just application of PBBJ tho principle of protection. Tho Re- PBBJ publican Congress Included In the BBBJ Payne-Aldrich bill a clause under PBBJ which the President has authority to BBBJ appoint such a board to make such BBBJ ' ' investigations and report tho results PBBJ to PPH Democrats Ignore Board's Reports. BBBk.i I The President appointed the board. BBBE- ' Its members are drawn from both po- PBBj I I lltlcnl parties. Their competency. In- BBBJ' ' I tegrlty and fairness Is unquestioned. BBJ They have reported upon tho woolen BBBJ I j schedule; they havo reported on the BBl A cotton schedule. The President has BBJ i I transmitted their findings to Congress PBBJt I The Democratic House of Represcn- BBJ ! tatlves Ignores and repudiates them. BBBJ Junuary, 1011, the last Republican PBBJ' House of Representatives passed n BBBJ bill to create a tariff commission with BBBJ ! which much broader and more etlect- PBBB lvo powers for compelling tho attend- BBBJ nnee of witnesses nnd securing lnfor- PBBBj matlon, charged to report its findings BBBB to the Congress.

Now PPH' fBBkk t,le 1Iouso ,s Democratic ar.d the bill bbbjblbbbbbbbt is dead. Tho Democratic jiarty doco not want the facts njian which n Just measure can be framed, .because they mean that there Ahull .be no protection protec-tion for American Industries. In the next session and In the .present session ses-sion of Congress the jDemocratlc House has framed and jumacd a series of tnrlff bills for revtaue only with complete indifference to ttbo absolute destiuctlon that their .enactment would bring upon sreat American industrials. in-dustrials. Some of them liavo (fallen by tho wayside in the Senate and some of them have gone to the 'President 'Presi-dent to meet his wise and cuaniyoaus veto. The American people now have to pass, not upon the abuses of the tariff, tar-iff, but on the fundamental question between the two systems of tariff-making. tariff-making. Tho national currency, which the election of McKInley rescued from disaster at the hands of a free silver sil-ver Democrncy, still rests upon tho civil wnr basis of government bonds and Is no longer adapted to our changed conditions. It Is Inelastic Its volume docs not expand and contract con-tract according to legitimate demands of business. No Congress could by Its ordinary methods get beyond the surface of the vast and complicated problem, yet the working out of n now system ndapted to American conditions con-ditions and of vital Importance to the propscrity of the country and the security se-curity of every business and of every man whoso support directly or Indirectly Indi-rectly is dependent upon American business. For the solution of this question the policy of the Republican party established estab-lished a monetary commission which has made a most thorough and exhaustive ex-haustive study of tho financial system of nil civilized nations, of their relations re-lations to our own system and the needs of American business. The commission has reported n bill for the establishment of n now system ot reserve associations under which the currency will bo clantlc; the business will find ready sale for Its commercial paper; tho people at large will exercise exer-cise control instead of n little group of large bankers nnd tho dnngcrs of panic will disappear. The President hns recommended the conclusions of tho commission to tho Congress where the proposed bill Is under consideration. considera-tion. It Is for the interest of every business busi-ness man In tho United States that the party controlling tho government shall not be changed until this policy hns been carried Into execution. Upon the recommendation of the President the powers of tho Interstate commerce com-merce commission have been greatly enlarged and their control over railroad rail-road rates and railroad service mado more effective. Railroad rebates havo been vigorously prosecuted tho Imposition Impo-sition of large fines hns ended the practice. Enforclno Anti-Trust Law. The prosecution of the Interests nnd. combinations In violation of tho Sherman Sher-man net has gone ahead with extraordinary extra-ordinary success. The Standard Oil company has been dissolved by a sujt begun under Roosovelt nnd brought to successful conclusion under Taft through a Judgment In exact accordance accord-ance with the prayer of tho complatn-ant. complatn-ant. The Tobacco company has been dissolved, Tho beef packers, tho wholesalo grocers, tho lumber denl-ers, denl-ers, the wire makors, tho window glass pool, the electric lamp combination, combin-ation, tho bath tub trust, tho shoo machinery ma-chinery trust, the foreign "steamship pool, the sugar company, the steel corporation, tho harvester company all have been made to feel the heavy hand of tho law through suits or indictments in-dictments against restraints and monopolies. The nowly crcntcd bureau of mines nnd the newly authorized chlldrens bureau mark tho limit to which the national government can do towards Improving tho conditions of Intrastate Intra-state labor without usurping the powers pow-ers of tho states. Tho pure food law has been enforced enforc-ed with vigor nnd effectiveness. There havo been over 500 prosecutions for Violations ot that law within tho past year, and more than 1000 cases within with-in the past thrco years. More than r.00 shipments of adulterated and mis-branded mis-branded foods nnd drugs havo been condemned nnd forfeited, nnd enormous enorm-ous quantities of Injurious food materials ma-terials have been destroyed. Conservation Work Carried On. Tho conservation of natural resources re-sources has been In tho hnnds ot Us fricndB. Tho process of examining and separating tho timber nnd tho agricultural agri-cultural land In tho great forest reserves re-serves established at the close ot the last administration has tiiocceded under un-der the present administration in ac cordance with the original plan. Tin study of the water resources of the country and tho recording of the flow of streams have gone on under the geological survey. Classification and appraisal of coal lands and their re storation to entry at discriminating prices based upon the classification has extended to over 16.000.000 acres of a total valuation ot over $712,000. 000. Great reforms have been made In tho economy of the public service. A commission appointed by the President Presi-dent has been examlnfng all the departments de-partments of government operating under the antiquated statutes passed generations ago with a view to applying apply-ing In them tho labor-saving and money-saving methods which have made the success of the great business busi-ness establishment of our country. In the meantime also tho new Republican Re-publican policy of the postal savings system hns been successfully Inaugu rated under the act of Juno 25, 1905, I, beginning cxperlmcntnllty with a few officers nnd now after eleven months of operation extending to 7500 presidential presi-dential postolllces with $11,000,000 of deposits. Army And tlavy Strengthened. The army has been made more effective. ef-fective. Tho great process of training train-ing not only the regular army but the mllltla has been pressed forward to the end that If war unfortunately comes upon us we 1iall have a great body of trained American citizens competent to act as officers of tho volunteer force upon which we must so largely depend for our military defense. de-fense. The navy has Improved its organization organi-zation and decreased Its expenses, has increased its preparedness and military efficiency; has Improved Its markmanshlp ani skill In seaman ihip and evolution .ml uub reo'giinhed and reduced the cost of the system of construction, repair and supply. The execution ot the regular and established program of adding two battleships to thn fleet annually to take the place .of the old ships, which from year to year grow obsolete and to maintain the position of our navy among those vof the great powers, has met with a reverse In the refusal of the Democratic House of Representative Representa-tive to appropriate any money for the construction ot battleships, and the question now stands between the Republican Senate and the Democratic Democrat-ic House as to whether our navy shall bo maintained or shall bo permitted to fall back to n level with the weaker weak-er and unconsidered countries of the world. What is the will of tho American Amer-ican peoplo on that question T Progress On Panama Canal. The construction of tho Panama canal has been pressed forward with renewed evidences, under tho concentrated concen-trated observation of all the civilized world, that America possesses constructive con-structive genius, organization, power and habits of honest administration equal to the greatest undertakings. It Is manifest now that the work will be done In advance of the time fixed ami within the cost estimated, and thnt during tho coming year It will be substantially completed. Will not the Amerlcnn peoplo consider whether wheth-er they havo no grateful appreciation ot tho honor brought to us nil by the great things that have been done on tho Isthmus? When the wonderful procession of ships takes its way for tho first time through tho canal between be-tween tho wntera of the Atantlo nnd the Pacific will tho peoplo of America wish that the honors ot that greater than n Roman triumph bo given, not to the men who executed tho great design, but to the men who opposed nnd scoffed and hindered nnd sough' to frustrato the enterprise until In spite of thnt its success was assured? In our foreign relations controversies controvers-ies of almost 100 years over tho northern nor-thern fisheries hnvo been settled by arbitration at the Hague. The attempt at-tempt to preserve tho further seal life of tho Alaskan Islands. In. which wo woro defeated twenty years ngo In the Hehrlng Bea arbitration,- hnB' i been brought to success by diplomacy . In tho fur seal treaty with Great Brit ain, Japan and Russia. The delicate questions arising from the termination of our treaty regulating regulat-ing trade and travel with Japan has been disposed ot by a new treaty satisfactory sat-isfactory to both nations and to the people of both coiiBts of our nation. Our tariff relations with all the world under tho maximum and minimum mini-mum clause of tho Payno-Aldrlch bill have been readjusted. Tho departments depart-ments ot state and commerce and labor la-bor havo promoted the extension ol Amer' in commerce so that our foreign for-eign rts have grown from $1,401.' 014,041 in 1005 to $2,013,549,025 in 1011, and the balance of trade In out favor for 1911 was $522,094,094. Amerl can rights havo been asserted and maintained and pence with all the world has becu preserved nnc strengthened. Record Of Faithful Service. With this record ot consistent pol Icy and faithful service the Republic i an jiarty can rest with confidence on . its title to command the ipjiroval ot the American people. We have a , right to say that we can be trusted I to preserve sAid maintain the Ameri-. Ameri-. can system ot free representative gov-i gov-i crnment handed down to us by our ! fathers. , No government must be administered administer-ed by the weak and fanatical And we Justly claim for our government under un-der the constitution that tor a century and a quarter it has worked out the , best results for individual liberty and , progress in civilization yet achieved by governmental Institutions. Under the pence and security It has afforded, afford-ed, not only has our country become vastly rich but there has been a diffusion dif-fusion of wealth which should Inspire cheerful confidence In the future. Witness Wit-ness the 9,959,175 separate savings bank accounts with $4,421,721,535 deposits de-posits In the year 1911. Witness the 6,361.502 farms and the value of farms property of $40,991,449,090 In the year 1910, a total moro than double ue-tween ue-tween 1900 and 1910. We will maintain the power and honor of the nation, but will observe those limitations which the constitution constitu-tion sets up for the preservation of local self-government. This country Is so large and tho conditions of life so vnricd that It would be Intolerable to have local and domestic affairs ot our home communities, which. Involve no national rights, controlled by majorities ma-jorities made up In other states tnuu-sands tnuu-sands ot miles away or by the officials of a central government. Observe Constitution Limitations. We will perforin the duties and ex-erlcse ex-erlcse the authority of the offices with which we may be invested, but we will observe, and require all officials offi-cials to observe, those constitutional limitations which prescribe the boundary boun-dary of official power. However wise, however able, however patriotic n Congress or an executive may be, however convinced they may bo that the doing of a particular thing would bo beneficial to the public If that thing be done by usurping the power confined to another department or another an-other officer It but opens the door fcr. the destruction of liberty. Tho door opened for tho patriotic and well-meaning well-meaning to exercise power not con-fen con-fen ed upon them by law is the donr opened also tin self-seeking and ambitious. am-bitious. There can be no free govern ment In which official power Is not limited, and the lin tuitions upon officii.! offi-cii.! power can b preserved uy'in by rlsorously Insisting upon their oh-s oh-s 'rvanco. We will malco and viglrously enforced en-forced laws for tho promotion of public pub-lic interests and the attainment of public ends, hut we will observe thoso grent rules of right conduct which our fathers embod'rd In the limitations of the honstltutlo.i. We will hold .ul-red .ul-red the dechiutiouu nnd prohibitions o" the bill ot lis'iits, which proteet the life and Iluerl" and properly ot tho 'citizen ngalnsi the power of gov-cr'.in.ent. gov-cr'.in.ent. Wo will lxcp the covenant, that our fathers made and that we havo reaffirmed from generation to generation, between tho wholo body of the people nnd every Individual under un-der national Jurisdiction. With a deep sense of duty to so order our country's government thai the blessings which God hns vowh sated us may be continued, wo can be liusted to keep tho pledgo given to the American people by '.ho last Republican national convention. The Republican party will uphold nt all times tho nuthorlty and integrity of the courts, state and federal. anU will ever Insist that their powers io enforce their process and to protect life, liberty nnd prosperity shall be preserved Inviolate. |
