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. We are
more fortunato than our opponents
who now appeal for confidence on the
