The credit and honor of our Country are greatly concerned in the character and conduct of the man who presides over the Senate of the United listen—that powerful and au- gust body. of which you are already so experienced, so useful and so honor» ed a member. But the Vice-President has other grave duties of imperative obligation. When the people elect a President un- der our political system. they do not merely select the man for the ofiice: they give their approval to certain con- trolling principles and policies of gov- ernment; and the administration of which the Vice-President is a part Is bound to give eifect to these principles and policies The primary duty of the Vice- President to be always ready to take up the burden of the Presidency if occasion requires, carries with it the duty to be always ready to continue unbroken the policies which the people have entrusted to the administration for execution. For the due perform ance of this duty the Vice-President should be familiar with the conduct of affairs by the administration as it proceeds, a part of its counsels. and imbued with a knowledge of its labors, its perplexities and its motives, that can come only from intimate associa- tion and confidence and sympathy. Too often it has happened that after excited contests for the presidential nomina- tion the candidate for Vice-President has been selected from the defeated faction for the purpose of appeaslng their resentment. and that after elec- tion he has remained antagonistic in spirit. and a stranger to the counsels of the President whom he may be call- ed upon to succeed . Happily we are now in no such case. The people would lain see again such relations of sympathy and loyal helpfulness for the public good. as existed betwocn Presi- dent Mcixinley and Vice-President Ho- bart; and the personal relations be tween President Roosevelt and your- self, your mutual esteem and good un- derstanding assure us that these bap- py conditions will come again often the fourth of next March. We count upon your wisdom and experience and loyal as an element of ever present strength in the coming administration. As to the supreme responsibility of the Vice-Presidency in case of succes- sion to the Presidency. we‘”shall all pray, and no one more' earnestly than yourself, that it may not come to you. But we are not at liberty to ignore the possibility that it may come. Sad and bitter experience admonishes us that provision for succession to the Presi- dency is no idle form. Of the last twelve presidents elected by the peo- ple of the United States. five-nearly one- half—have died In office and have been succeeded by Vice- Presidents. A serious obligation rests upon the poll- tical parties which select the candi dates between whom the people must choose to see to it that they nominate men for this possible succession who have the strength of body and mind and character which shall enable them, if occasion comes. to take up the burdens of the great presidential office, to endure its trying and exhaust ing demands. to meet its great respon- sibilities. and with film hand and clear vision to guide the government of the Country until the people can express their choice again. Our opponents of the Democratic Party have signaily failed to perform this duty. They have nominated as their candidate for the Vice- Presl- dency an excellent gentleman, who was born during the piesldency of James Monroe. and who before the 4th of March next will be in the eighty- second year of his age. Before the next administration is ended. he will be approaching his eighty-sixth birth- day. It Is no disparagemeut of this gentleman, for whom I believe we all have the highest respect to say that he shares the common lot of mortals, and that the election of any man of such great age would furnish no safe guard to the American people against the disaster which would ensue upon‘ the‘death of a president with a succes sor not competent to perform the du- ties of the presidential oillce. It is common experience that very aged men, however bright and active they may appear for brief periods. cannot sustain long continued severe excr- tion. The demands of the presidential oiilce upon the mental and: physical vitality areiao great. so continuous and so exhausting. as to be wholly be- yond the capacity of any man of eighty-five. The attempt by such a man to per- form the duties of the allies would with practical certainty be speedily followed by a complete breakdown both of body and of mind. In contem- plating the remote possibility of the election (it the Democratic candidate for Vice-President. the people of the country are bound to contemplate al- on as a necessary result of such an ofthe President's death-that others..not chosen~by the Mills. and minimum whwwouid a nominal sno- tlio ability and esteem of the people of Indians who ‘ the we». of Front: with which you have already d scharged the duties of high office. the universal respect and have delighted to honor you, the at- tachment of hosts of friends through- out the Union—all assure us that you have the character and the ability to govern wisely and strongly should you become President. Many indeed among our people have already turned toward you as a suitable candidate to be elect- ed directly to that great office. . It is the earnest wish of your Party and of many good citisens who have no party affiliations that you shall so- cept this nomination. and that you shall be elected in November to be the next Vice-President of the United States. In expressing to you this wish, we beg to add an assurance of our own personal respect. saloon and loyalty. Senator Fairbanks was given anoth- er ovation as he urose to accept the nomination. He said: “Mr. Root and Gentlemen of the Committee: 1 thank you for the gen- erous terms in which you have - onvey ed the official notification of 111-, 1;..1..i- nation for Vice-President of the Unit ed States. The unsolicited and unani- mous nomination by the Republican party is a call to duty which I am pleased to obey. "i accept the commission which you bring with a profound scnsc of the dignity and responsibilities of the ex- alted position for which i have been nominated. My utmost endeavor will be to discharge in full measure the trust, If the action of the convention shall most the approval of the Ameri- can people. “The platform adopted by tho i‘.(lil~ vention is an explicit and emphatic declaration of the principles in entire harmony with those policies of our par- ty which have brought great honor and prosperity to our common country. and which, if continued. will bring us like blessings in the futurc. "The monetary and economic poli- cies which have been so forcibly roan nounccd lie at the very foundation of our industrial life, and are essential to the fullest development of our nu- tlonni strength. They give vitality to our manufactures and conuuorcc, and if impaired or overthrown. there would inevitably ensue a period of industrial depression, to the serious injury of the vast, interests of both labor aml capital. "The Republican party since it pro served the integrity of the Republic and gave freedom to the oppressed. never rendered a more Important scr- vlce to the country than when it cs- tablishcd the gold standard. Under it we have incrcpsod our currency sup- ply sufficiently to meet the normal rc- qulrcnicnis of business. it is gratify- ing that the convention made frank and explicit declaration of the inflexi- ble purpose of the party to maintain the gold standard. It is csscniinl not only that the standard should be as good as the best in the world. but that the people should have the assurance that it will be so maintained. “The enemies of sound money were- powerful enough to suppress mention of the gold standard in the platform lately adopted by the Democratic Na- tional convention. The leader of De- mocracy in two great national cam- paigns has declared since the adjourn ment of the convention that as soon as the election is over. he will under- lake to organize the forces within the Democratic party for the next nation- al contest. for the purpose of advancing the radical policies for which his (ile- mcut of the party stands. lio frank- ly says that the money question Is for the present in abcyancc. in vivw of these palpable facts, it is not the part of wisdom to abandon our vigilance in safe guarding the integrity of our money systc111.Wo must have not only a President who Is unalterably cour mitted in the gold standard. but both houses of congress in entire accord with him upon the subject. "In Congress and 110i with the Presi- dent rests the supreme power to de termine the siandard of our money. Though the chief executive should op- pose the congress. acting within its in- dependent constitutional authority. could at any time overthrow or charge the monetary standard. "The wisdom of our protective policy finds complete Justification in the in. dustriai development of the country. This policy has become a most vita. part of our industrial system. and must be maintained unimpaired. When ai- tcred conditions make changes in schedules desirable. their modification can besnfely entrusted to the Republi- can party. If they arc to be changed by the enemies of the system along free trade lines, uncertainty would take the place of certainty and a re— action would sui'cly follow to the in- jury of the wage earners and all who are profitably employed. Uncertainty undermines confidence and loss confidence breeds confusion and dis- tress in commercial affairs. “The convention was wise not only in Its enunciation of party policies. but in its nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. During the last three years. President Roosevelt has been confronted with large and serious ques- tions. These he has met and solved withiigh wisdom and courage. The ocratic platform finds an irrefutable answer in his splendid administration. never surpassed in all the history of the Republic and never equalled by the party who seeks to discredit it “The election of the President is im- peratively demanded by those whose success depends upon the continuance of a safe, conservative and efiiclent ad- ministration of public affairs. we have an ample record of deeds done. of beneficcnt things accomplished in the public interest. The vast business of the government has been well admin- istere‘d. The laws have been enforc- ed fearlessly and impartially.
