"Six years ago he was nominated
for lieutenant-governor of Massa­

lie has been an able
and honorable governor, devoting
all his strength of body and mind to
the advancement of Massachusetts.
Liberal and progressive, his name is
associated not only with sound ad­

and which were tn the interests of

that he has for four years given to
Massachusetts and to the service of
his party.
"I have the honor; the great honor,
to present to you for nomination, the
Hon. Curtis Guild of Massachusetts."
The seconding speech for Guild
was made by Chas. E. Osborne, Mich.,

"He la a brigadier general In the
state service; rose from lieutenant to

Florida.
"There is no twilight zone in Gov­
ernor Guild's conscience where duty
compromises with policy or right
with wrong. He is justly and kindly
in dealing with labor and has its
love, support and respect.
Governor Guild Is a powerful and
convincing orator and tireless and
fearless campaigner. He has trans­
formed Massachusetts from 4 0,000
democratic to 100.000 republican.
The Nation needs him; the Repub­

Taft cannot get along without him.

“He Ilves for those who love him;
