DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL VOL. XIV. SALEM, OREGON, WEDNE8DAY, JULY 27, 1904. NO. 17f. l! PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT NOTIFIED Characteristic Speech by Speak er Cannon Virtually Opens Republican Campaign Now York, July 27. The keynote of the Republican presidential cam paign was sounded today. In the presence of a committee of distin guished party leaders representing every state and territory of the Union, who called at Sagamore ,Hill to for mally notify him of his nomination by the Chicago convention, .President Roosevelt read his letter of acceptance discussing at length the political events of his administration and his views on the platform adopted by the party at Chicago. The notification took place this after noon and were marked by extreme simplicity. The members of the noti fication committee and a number of other eminent republicans arrived at Oyster Bay shortly before noon and were driven at onco to the Roosevelt home. After tho President had shak en hands with each member of the party the visitors gathered on the lawn in front of the house prepara tory to the formalities of the occasion, Tho crowd was considerably larger than had been anticipated and Secre tary Loeb and his assistants were kept busy for some time In providing for tho comfort of the guests. Speaker Cannon was intrusted with the task of delivering the notification speech and ho acquitted himself with credit as was evidenced by the enthus iasm) wl'h which his remarks were greeted. The President's speech of acceptance was delivered from the veranda and was listened to with the closest attention by those present. At tho conclusion of his speech three cheers and' a tiger were given in honor of tho President. The formal cere monies lasted scarcely half an hour and after they were concluded the President and Mrs. Roosevelt enter tained tho visitors at luncheon, which was laid on the wide veranda which encircles tho Sagamore Hill house Speaker Cannon, in notifying Presi dent Roosevelt, said: "Tho Republican party, under your leadership, keeps its record from the beginning under Lincoln of doing things, the right thing at the right time, and in the Tight way, notwith standing the opposition of those who oppose the right policies from a sel fish or partisan standpoint They dare not tell the truth about your official ac tion or the record of the party, and they condemn it. They can for selfish or partisan reasons abuse you person ally and misrepresent the party which you lead. It is true, however, that so far their abuse of your action, and their alleged fear of your personality, Is insignificant, as compared with the personal and partisan carplngs against Lincoln, Grant and McKinley, when they were clothed with power by the people. Those whose only grievance is that you have enforced tho law, and those who carp for more partisan cap ital will not, in my judgment, reap a harvest of success. The Republican party for you and under your leader ship appeals to the great body of peo ple who live by the sweat of their faces and made civilization control the republic. They fight its battles and determine its po!Icle3 for approval and continuance In power. The office of president of the United States, the greatest on earth, and many promi nent men in the Republican) party are ambitious to hold It, yet the Republi can convention met at Chicago In June last, and cordially, with ono accord, nominated you as the candidate for President. I am sure 'all Republicans, and a multitude of good citizens, who do not call themselves Republicans, sa!d "amen." In pursuance of the us ual custom' the convention appointed a committee of which it honored me with tho chairmanship, to wait upon you and Inform you of its action, which duty cf speaking for tho committee 1 now cheerfully perform with the hope and confident expectation that a ma jortlty of the people of this republic will in November next, approve the action of the convention by choosing electors who ,will assure your elec tion to the presidency as your own suc cessor." President Roosevelt in reply said: Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the notification committee. I am deeply sensible of tho high honor conferred upon by the representatives of the Republican party assembled in con vention, and I accept the nomi nation for the presidency with a solemn realization of the obligations I assumo. I heartily appreciate the declarations of principles which the Republican national convenr.ion has adopted, and on some future day I shall communicate to you, Mr. Chair man, more at length and in detail, a formal written acceptance of the nom ination. When I became President because of tho death of my lamented predecessor, I stated that it was my purpose to carry out his principles and policies. To the best of my abili ty I have kept that promise.
