Tou will understand,' with little explanation oh my part, the feel ings which have led me to fix our meeting at this spot In the hills of. West Virginia. These are the hills that cradled me and to which as boy and man I lifted up my eyes for help. In this soil rest four generations ot my people ar tisans, tradesmen, farmers ana a sprinkling of the professions, 'lab orers all, who played in simple fashion their appointed parts in the life of this community. Amoing them now He those who gave me life, and towhose high precept and example I owe all that I have ever been and all that I can hope to be. These witnesses who surround us are the companions ot my youtn and manhood. With them most or my days have been spent, and when circumstances have called me else where they have followed me with regard and affection that has laid on me a debt ot gratitude greater than I can repay. Twenty-live years ago they first called me to their service as their representa tive in the legislature of this state, and since that day, In public office or in private life, I have lougni with them, unceasingly the battle for democratic Ideals and democratic principles. Of their own free will and motion they presented my name to the Democratic Convention as one deserving Its consideration. Bettor than all others, they will know whether what I shall say to you today Is In keeping with the con victions I have expressed and the action I have taken In the past, and more than any others, they will re sent anything I may say or do that shows their confidence misplaced. It is in the presence of these hills, these grave's, these witnesses, that 1 wish to hear your message and give, you my reply. Acknowledge" Notice You come to give me official no tice that I have been chosen by the Democratic Party as Its nominee for the highest office In the gift of the American people. You In vite me to take the reins of lead ership and marshal lis hosts for the coming campaign. No weightier commission could be laid on any man. Ho must be vain Indeed who does not feel his own unaided strength Inadequate to such a task, and ho must be ambitious beyond reason whom thought of fame or . ,.mnt to undertake It with out the fullest sympathy vlth his nirtv and Its alms. I reflect, how- ever, that you are the representa tives of millions of Americans who are dissatisfied with existing con ditions, who long for the day when America will set her face to the front again and who are ready to follow whenever the forward march begins. And I have read your plat form and It" declaration" of party principle and find them such as I can- heartily approve. Kor tlieee things I thank Ood, and take cour- "T take note Mr. Chairman, In i passing, of what you were gool tia v ronrern in i vmo. ..... . iv.r 1 1 have no apology to offer for either. The answer to any criticism on that Bcore must come" not only Trom those who like yourself, have won the highest distinction at the bar, but also from the more fhan one hundred thousand other honest and patrlotlo men and women who make up the legal profession In this coun try. They know and they will gladly Join you In testifying that the upright lawyor sells his serv ices but never his soul. A word of personal history In this connec tion, however, 'may not be out of place. ; Hevered AH Connections When I was advised of tho pur pose of President Wilson to appoint me to tpe high office of solicitor general, my first act was to surrend er all private employment and to sev er my connection with the law firm of which I was a member and of which my revered fathor was the head. From that day until my: duties as ambassador to Great Brit ain were ended, eight years later, I had no other client or employer than the government and ,the people of the United States. Whether I served them woll or faithfully, pot I, but others must say. As soon as the convention over which yuu so ably presided, had decided in my behalf, I realized that I was f called upon to repeat my former action within the week, therefore, I signified to all my clients that 1 could no longer serve them and severed my connection with the honorable gentlemen who were my professional partners. I have no clients today but the democratic party, and if they will It so, the people of the United States. Many Grave Problems Many and grave are the prob lems of the hour, and ail the re sources of patriotism and states manshlp at our command will be taxed In their solution.
