Greatest Political Demonstration on Record
Taft Sure of 700 on Firs! Ballot
-Senator Lodge's Speech
Special to the Evening Review.
UiUCAUO, 111., June 17. The
most rejnarkabte demonstration ever
witnessed fn a political convention
occurred here today when Senator
Henry Cabot Lodgo, who vas chos
en permanent chairman of the na
tional Republican convention, refer
red to President Roosevelt as a
much abused but very popular man.
The great crowd in the Coliseum lit
erally went wild for a solid half
hour, during which time hats, canes
and handkerchlnfs were thrown in
the air and the building fairly shook ed by the country and deserved by
under deafening and prolonged them,
cheering. So great was the din and! , ,
cpnfusion that Lodge lost control of ' N" oIitUaI ln modern times
himself and it was not until the band ! lin sl,"w 8Uch a rtemd of U(:hieve
had finished plavlng thatlie.was able 1 ,1H?t tIlir,Ilff lhF ,asl mty yeara as
to resume.
Taft clinched his control of the
convention this afternoon, when the
credential committee rati tied the de
cision of the national committee In
every contest over seals. It is now
certain that Taft will receive over
700 votes on the first ballot for the
nomination for president.
The boom of Cummins, of Iowa,
for vice president was formally
launched this afternoon. His can
didacy Is backed by the Taft-Roose-velt
forces. The Fairbanks boomers
are still as active as ever, however,
and a warm fight for the second
place nomination Is sure to take
place-. Cummins i- a pro n minted
tariff revisionist and is sure to be
bitterly opposed by the -standpatters,
who are line up to n man back
of Fairbanks.
The atfU-injunction plank, propos
ed for the platform by the American
Federation of Li$or. is blocking the
convention. The resolutions ennimit
tee has recommended the adoption
of the plank, but this is vigorously
opposed by the delegafionsQfrom sev
eral stotes, among them Oregon,
Washington and California.
Senator Lodge's Speech.
Senator Lodge's speech before the
convention this afternoon follows In
full:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
I thank you most sincerely for the
great honor you have done me in
choosing me to preside over your de
liberations. For it is a great honor
to be the presiding officer otOa Re
publican National Convention. I can
conceive of eonVeiitions I have
deed heard of conventions where
honor of such a post as that now oc
cupied by me is dubious, and wti-re.
if excltemynt is ppjsent, plM,Qjn is
conspicuous by its absence. lf.it t':
ue the presiding officer of a Republi
can convention is ever a high d'si Mic
tion to which no man can be iu.'n-
sfb'e. Gentleman of the convention
i:gn In I thank you.
I shall not delay or detain you
hit many words. Your resohi'ioni
will set forth the principles of ihe
party and declare the policies upon
vhich we shall ask for the su'.iic-rt

what we hope and mean to do. Mj
duty is merely to aid you, so far as
I can. iu the orderly and prompt
truusEiction of the business which has
brought us togetlnw. That business
is momentous nothing less thancto
name here the two men who, speak
ing with the simplicity of truth, will
be the next President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States. In order
to win for them, and for our party,
an assured as well ps a merited vic
tory, wo must defeat our opponents,
whose exclusion fronPpower in deslr-
the Republican party. L'pou that rec
ord we stand and challenge all com
ers to the lists 13 ut it Is well to re
member that the test we have to
meet is much less severe. This is a
comparative world. We do not go
forth to contest the great prize with
an ideal party, which we sometimes
see bertut ifully depicted by persons
of self-confessed superiority and
chronic discontent. Tho glittering
abstraction which they present never
existed yet on sea or land. It gleams
upon us in printers' ink, butit font
neither substance nor organization
nor candidates, for organizations and
candidates must be taken from the
ranks of men and cannot be the
Moating phantoms of an uneasy
dream. The American people must
choose next November between us
and the Democratic party. With the
Democratic party, and with that
alone, must the comparison be made.
We differ from that party in some
Important particulars. We both, it
Is true, have a past and a history, ut
we treat those possessions very dif
ferent lv. They wish to keep their
past a profound secret. We seek by
all means to publish ours to the
world. If we refer to their history
they arge us with calumny. We
regard ours, truthful and undls
lorted, as our greatest glory. To
the youth of the country they say,
'.ludgtQis solely by our undiscovered
future." We say, "Read our record,
Judge us by our past ani our pres
ent, und frogi these, U'ut(M) what we
are what we have been and whut
we mean to be." Recall the ces
which have been sounded from' the
Hps of these two parties during" the
Inst half century. On the one side
"Slavery; secession : repudiation of
the public Mt; HatQ money; free
trade: free silver: the overthrow of

. The old shibboleths (Pf the Demo-1 ' 0,1 as ln d"rM from the Predorea
.. .. V . . . Bora.
-ras are uniav ine epuapns ot poi-
icies which are read and damned.'
Tliev serve only to remind us of dan-
... fKcniiori or Jo warn us of peVi,
to be shunned. The battle crW of j
i i i
o
tho Republicans hnve been the
watchwords ol grout causes. They
tell of victories won und triumphs
tusted they are embodied in the
laws and murk the stepping-stones
by which the Republic bus risen to
ever greater heights of power aud
prosperity.
As we thus call up the past aud
the echoes of these old conflicts again
sound in our. eai-H and touch the
chords of memory, one great act
stands forth, clear and shining. The
Republican party has never failed
except when It has faltered. Our
long career of victory, so rarely
broken, has been due to our meeting
boldly each question us It arose; to
our fucing every dnnger as It crossed
our puth, with entire courage, which
brought the party into existence and
to the spirit which has inspired It
from its birth. We faced secession,
we took up the dreud burden of civil
war. But a few years ago we per
mitted thousands of Republicans to
leave us, thereby imperiling our po
litlcnl power, rather than abandon
the gold standard and plunge the
country into disaster and dis honor.
In these latest years, as in the
most remote, we have been true to
our traditions. In the process of de
velopment a point was reached where
tho country was confronted by a sit
uation more perilous than any It has
ever faced except In the Civil war,
and we Republicans were, therefore
obliged to deal with problems of tin
most coimilex and dlllicult character.
lo our honor, bo It said, we have
not shrunk from the tnsk. Much hns
been done much, no doubt, still re
mains to do but the great underly
ing principles have been established
and upon them we can build, ns nec
essity arises, carefully and deliberately-
I have spoken of the seriousness of
tho situation with which the country
wus conrronted. us gruvlty can
hardly he overestimated. Jt grew
out of conditions and was tin; result
of forces beyond the control of men.
Science and Invention, the two great
lactorscin tills situation, have not on
ly altered radically human environ
ment and our delations to nature,
but, ln0thelr application they have
revolutionized economic conditions.
These changedOeconomic coiiditlonE
have, in turn, affected profoundly
society nnd politics. Thgy have led,
among other things, to combina
tions of capital and labor on a scnle
and with a power never before wit
nessed. They have opened the wny
to accumulations of wealth in masses
beyondothe dreams of avarice and
never before contemplated by men.
The so.lnl nnd political problems
thus created nre wholly new. It is a
fallacy to suppose that because the
elements nre old the problem Itself
must, therefore, differ only In de
gree from those which have gone
before. The elements may he old.
but tho problems presented by a
chnngo in the proportion of the efr;
mentsgnay be, and in this cuse Is,
entirely new.
Orent Individual fortunes and rich
men nre.C. Is true, as old ns record
ed history. Nearly two thousand
yenrs ago the tax framers of Rome
formed a "trust" for their own bene
fit and protection: tho English peo
ple, three centuries ngo, revolted
against the patents and monopolies
granted bv Kll.nheth nnd .lamp!; In
pay-Othelr courtiers, nnd monopolists, fore
istnllers and speculators In the neceR-
sities of life were a curseln our revn

jnodern comblnatlona of capital,
niaTie possible by preheat condition,
which have brought upon us. In these
later years, problema nortentoiia in
their possibilities, and threatening
not only our social and political wel
fare, but even our personal freedom.
If thev are not boldly met and wisely
solved.
The great body of the American
people, neither very rich nor very
poor, the honest, the thrifty, the
hard-working; the men Lnd wonipn
who earn and save, have i,o base en
vO no fanatical hatred .f wealth,
wh'her individual or corporate. If
it haa been honestly gained and Ik
wisely and generously employed
with a sense of n-sponrflbillty to the
public. Hut thin Rrent body of our
people, by habit and Irintlnct alike,
widely conservative these people,
who are the hone and afnew of our
i.rontry and upon whom Stu fortune
and Its safety rest - began to ob
serve, with deep alarm, the recent
manifestations of the new economic
conditions More and more, they
rame to believe that theae vast for
tunes and these huge combinations
ot capital were formed and built up
by tortuous and dishonest moans
and through a cynical disregard of
the very laws which the mass of the
people were compelled to obey. They
began to fear that political power
was being reft from their hands and
put Into the possession of the money
holders; that .their dearest rights
were lu dnnger; that their hopes of
success and advancement were cul
off by business systems which they
could not understand, but by which
the individual Vns sacrificed and
held down.
To those who looked beneath the
surface an ominous unrest was ap
parent. The violent counsels of vio
lent men. who aimed nt the destruc
tion of property and the overthrow
of law, began to be heard nnd bark
ened to. The great order-loving, in
dustrious massoH of tho American
people turned away from these ad
vocates of violence, hut, at the some
time, demanded that their govern
ment should give them. In lawful
and reasonable ways, the protection
to which they were entitled, against
the dangers they Justly apprehended.
The great duty of fulfilling these
righteous demands, like all the great
public services of the last half cen
tury, was Imposed upon the Repub
lican party and they have not flinch
ed from the burden. Under the lead
of the president, the Republican par
ty has grappled with the new prob
lems, born of the new conditions. II
has been no light task. Dangerous
extremes threatened on either hand
On the one side were the radicals of
reaction, who resisted any change nt
all; on the other side wore the rad
icals of destructionwho wished to
ehango everything. These two forms
of radicalism nre as far apart nt the
outset as the poles; but, whon car
ried out, they lend alike to revolu
tion. Between these two extremes
the Republican president and the He-
publican congress were compelled to
.steer, and, while- they ndvnnced
steadily, soberly and effectively, they
were obliged to repel tho rudlcnl as
saults on either hand.
The policy of the Republican party
In dealing with these new and for
midable (uestions which have taken
concrete form lu enormous combina
tions of capital and ln great puhllc-
servhje corporations, has been for
mulated and determined. That pol
icy to use government regulation
an dsunorvislon for the control ot
corporations nnd combinations, so
that these great and necessary In
struments of commerce and business
may be preserved as useful servants
and not destroyed because they have
threatened to becomo dungorotm
maulers.
This policy Is the absolute opposite
of government ownership and all like
measures advocated by our oppo
nents, WfWch tend directly to Social
Ism and to all Its attendant miseries
and evils. 0
It Ib In pursuance of this policy,
shadTed and settled, during the past
few years, that old laws have been
enforced and new ones enacted.
Nothlirg Is more destructive to the
rQi?iect for law the chief bulwark
of civilized society tham to place
laws upon the statute book In order
merely to still public clamor and sat
isfy the people, lt which It is never
intended to ey force. The worst laws
imaginable are those which are al
lowed lo rust, unused, because. If
enforced, they will Interfere with
vested abuses or curb the rich mid
uowcul. q
t Tho president has enforced tho
laws as he found them on ihe statute
book. Kor tl perforimQce of his
sworn duty he has been bitterly at
tacked. It was to be expected. Vest

are carried, and some one is sure to

are pushed home. In Ihe great Am
erican electorate nioiWy Iiiih few

The result Is that the president Is
the beat abused nnd the most popular
man In the United States today, lie
haH been more abused than any
president except WaHhiliKton, Lin
coln and Grant. lie possesses the
love and confidence of the American
people to a df-Kreo never equalled by
Lincoln uud Washington. May it not
be saJtL in soljer.lrut.h.tJiat the.fear-
e of
not without Its c&
beetling great re-
ward
Hutie work has not ceased with
the enforcement of existing laws. A
kepubllr-att congress and a Kcpobli
enn president have placed new lawi
upon the statute books, designed to
:arry out the Republican policy of
government regulation In a sate, rea
sonable and effective manner. The
Klktus law, aimed at pretornttal
rats, the railroad rate law. whh-b
made the supervision of railroads
more effective, and the pun? food law
which has hern. In the hlglfst de
gree, bencfici-iit to the masses of our
people, ure all monuments of the
policy anil the laborH of the Republi
can party.
The president, who has led his
inrty nnd the people In this great
work, retires, by bis own determina
tion, from his high office on the -ith
of March, next. His refusal of a re
nonvnatlon, dictated by the loftiest
motives and by ft nobie loyalty (o
American traditions, is final and ir
revocable. Anyone who attempts to
use his iiutne us n candidate for the
presidency impugns both his sincer
ity and his good faith, two of the
president's greatest and most con
spicuous qualities, upon which no
shadow has ever been enst. That
man is no friend of Theodore noose
volt, and does not cherish his name
and fame, who now, from any mo
tive, seeks to urge him as a candi
date for the great oltlce which he lias
llnally declined. The president has
refused what his countrymen would
gladly have given htm; he says what
ho menus nnd menus whnt ho says,
and his party and his country will
respect his wishes as they honor his
high chuuicter aud great public serv
ice. Hut, although tho president re
tires, he lenves his policies behind
him. To those policies the Republi
can party stands pledged. We must
carry them out as we have begun,
regardless alike of the radlcnls of ro
