Ho dove immediately-'Into "a hasty review of the administration of Roosevelt.- In conclusion he said: . , . ' .r . . "I cannot,. sir, complete the . dis charge of this moat agreeable . duty without assuring you of the high re spect in which you are held not, only by those of your own political faith, but by your fellow cltliena without re gard to party, of their admiration .of your ability, manifested throughout your public acrvlce; of thcir.knowl. edge of, tiro preparation which you will bring to the. discharge of the high. and difficult duties of president; of their belief in your deep convic tion of the equality of all men before the law, and In the practical appllca tlon of that principle by arpr adminis tration of which you may be the head, the rule by which every official act of Mr. Roosevelt, as president, haa been squared, which has won for him the confidence and respect- of his country' men throughout the land, and which has brought to htm at all times their unquestioned and earnest support. It was his universal application of this rule which caused his party In nation al convention, to pay him the following Just and splendid tribute of approval: " 'His administration Is an epoch In American history. In no other period slnoe the national sovereignty was won under Washington or -preserved undex Lincoln, haa there been such mighty progress In those Ideals of gov ernment 1 which ' make for Justice, equality and fair dealing among men. The highest aspirations Of the Ameri can people' have found voice. Their most exalted servant represents' the best alms and worthiest purposes of all his countrymen American man hood has been lifted up to a nobler tense of duly end obligation. Con science and courage In public station and high standards of right and wrong In private life have been the cardinal principle of political Ufa. Capital and labor have been brought' Into closer relations of confidence and In terdependence, and . the abuse of wealth and the tyranny of power, and all evUs and privileged favoritism have been put to scorn by the simple and manly virtues of justice and fair play. "It is gratifying to your country men to reflect that of that administra tion you have been a conspicuous part, as you were of the administra tion of Mr. McKlnley, whose accom pllshments mark a national progress unsurpassed In all of our previous na Uonal life. "It, therefore, gtvs me genuine pleasure, Mr. Taft, to present to you this formal nomination from the re publican party, whose governmental policies have for ao long 'kept In bal ance the mighty forces of the nation and to whose continued guidance of the nation we have every reasonable right to believe that tho people are now looking." Accepts With Gratitude.. Ia his acceptance, Taft said In part: Benator Warnef and Gentlemen of the Committee: I am deeply sensible of the honor which the republican national conven tlon conferred upon me In the nom ination which your formally tender. I accept It with the full apprecia tion of tha responsibility It Imposes. Gentlemen, the strength of the repub lican cause In the campaign at hand Is In the fact that we represent policies eiwntlal 'to the reform of known abuses, to the continuance of liberty and to prosperity and that we are de termined to maintain them and carry them on. For more than 19 years this country has passed through an epoch of material development far beyond any that has ever occurred In the world before. In Its course, cer tain evils have crept lh. Some proml- nent lufluentinl members of the im-l munlty, spurred by financial success j and In a hurry for greater wealth, be came unmindful of the common rule of business honesty and fidelity and the limitations imposed by taw upon their actions. This becam ' known.
