But In this critical period of national his tory. 1 realize your right to summon and my paramount duty is to respond. Vou speak at a time of national exi gency, transcending merely partisan c nsidcration. Your voice is a de mand for dominant and thonuighgo ing Americanism, with firm protec tive upbuilding policies, essential peace and security. To that call in this crisis, I cannot fail to answer with I pledge of all that Is In me to the services of our country. Therefore 1 accept the nomination. I stand for a firm and unflinching maintenance of aU American citizens on land and sen. 1 neither Impugn the motives nor un derestimate the difficulties, but it is most regrettably true that our for- jeign relations have suffered incalcu lable from the vacillating course re garding Mexico."
