FAIRBANKS NO?IFIED
Republican Candidate For vice-Presi
dent Accepts Nomination
SPEECHES MADE AT INDIANAPOLIS
Five Thousand People Enthusias
tically Greeted the Speakers as
They Appeared on the Veranda of
the Fairbanks Home.
Indianapolis, Special.-Charles W.
Fairbanks, senior United States Sena
tor from Indiana, -was Wednesday for
mally notified of his nomination for
vice president of the United States by
the Republican convention. The notifi
cation address was made by Elihu
Root, former Secretary of War. The
exercises were held on the wide varan
da of Senator Fairbanks' beautiful
come at Sixteenth and Meridian streets,
In the presence of members of the no
tification committee and many other
Invited guests. The day was one of the
most beautiful of the year, and as
Senator Fairbanks stood on the veran
da watching the finishing touches being
put to the preliminary arrangements,
he smilingly said: "This is the kind we
used to call McKinley weather."
Gathered at the residence were 5,000
people. Senator Fairbanks and Mrs.
Fairbanks received the committee and
invited guests, and with little delay Mr.
Root and Senator Fairbanks led the
way to the veranda, where seats were
arranged for all.
An enthusiastic greeting was accord
ed the two speakers as they appeared
on the veranda. The demonstration
lasted for several minutes, during
which, the members of the committee
were seated. Cheers broke, out again
and again and several recognititions
were necessary before quiet was secur*
ed. Mr. Root, without preliminary, ad
dressed himself .to the formal notifi
cation. He said:
Senator Fairbanks:. The committee
which now waits upon you was ap
pointed by the National Convention ot
the Republican party, held at Chicago
in June, and its agreeable duty is to no
tify you of your nomination as the Re
publican candidate for the office of
vice-President of the United States for
the term to begin on the 4th day of
March, 1905.
We give you formal notice of that
nomination with, assurance of the un
divided and hearty support- of the great
.party which has executed the people's
will iii "the government of this coun
try for the better part of the last half
century. The, nomination comes to you
in accordance with the best Methods
and practices of representative govern
! ment. It was the result of long and
earnest consideration and discussion by
the members of the convention. It was
not the chance product of an excited
hour, and it was not upon the demand
of any powerful influence-political or
otherwise-constraining the judgment
cf the delegates. It was not made for
the purpose of conciliating possible
malcontents, or of swelling the cam
paign fund of the party. No bargains
or intrigues contributed to it. No sup
pressions of the truth or^nisleading of
the convention as to your principles
and opinions were necessary to bring
it about It was the deliberate, inform
t d and intelligent judgment of the dele
gates from every State vand Territory,
and it/was .their unanimous judgment.
:%'-It Is a great office to which you are
tailed. John Adams and Thamas Jef
ferson, and George Clinton, and John
C. Calhoun, and Martin Var. Buren, and
many others whose names are illustri
ous in the history of our country, have
'filled it. It is an office of high dig
nity and immediate, over present im
portance. The credit and honor of our
country are greatly concerned in the
character and conduct of the man who
presides over the Senate of the United
States-i^that powerful and august
-bedyrf?jat?ch.jtruiarealready so ex
perienced, so useful an<T~so honored
a member.
Eut the vice-President has other
grave duties of imperative obligation.
When the people elect a President un
. der our political system they do not
'merely select the man for the office :
thev ?ive their approval to certaia
controlling principles and policies cZ
government; and the administration of
which the vice-President is a part is
bound to give effect to,these princi
ples and policies. The primary duty
ot the vice-President to be always
ready to take up the burden of the
presidency if the occasion requires,
carries with it the duty to be always
ready to continue unbroken the poli
cies which the people have entrusted
to the administration for execution.
As to the supreme responsibility of
the Vice-Presidency in case of sue ea
ston to the presidency, we shall all
pray, and no one more earnestly than
yourself, that it may not come to you.
But we are not at liberty to ignore
the possibility that it may come. Sad
and bitter experience admonishes us
that provision for succession to the
presidency, is no idle form. Of the
last twelve Presidents elected by the
people of the United States five
-nearly one-half-have died in office
and have been succeeded by Vice-pres
idents. A serious obligation rests up
on the political parties which select
the candidates between whom the peo
ple must choose, to see to it that
they nominate men for this possible
succession who have the strength of
body and mind and character which
shall enable them, if occassion comest
to take up the burdens of the jerreat
presidential office, to endure Its trying
and exhausting demands, to meet its
great responsibilities, and with firm
hand and clear vision to guide the
government of the country unta the
people can express their choice again.
Our opponents of the Democratic
party have signally failed to perform
this duty. They have nominated as
their candidate for the Vice Presidency
an excelient gentleman, who was born
during the presidency of James Monroe
and who before the 4th of March next
will be in the eighty-second year of his
age. Before the next administration is
ended, he will h? approaching his eigh
ty-sixth birthday. It is no disparage
ment of this gentleman, for whom I
believe we all have the highest respect,
to say that he shares the common lot
of mortals, and that the election of any
man of such great age would furnish
no safeguard to the American people
against the disaster which would ensue
upon the death of a President with a
successor not competent to perform the
duties of the presidential office. It ii
common experience that very ag?d men
however bright and active they may ap
pear for brief periodB, cannot sustain
'long continued severe exertion. The
demands of the presidential office upon
the mental and physical vitality are so
great, so continuous and so exhaust
ing as to be wholly beyond the capacity
of any man of eighty-five.
The attempt by such a man te per
form the duties of the office would with
practical certainty be speedily followed
by a complete breakdown both of body
and of mind. In contemplating the re
mote possibility of the election of the
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi
dent, the people of the country are
bound to contemplate also as a neces
sary result bf such an election in case
of the President's death that others,
not chosen by the people, and we know
not who, would govern In the name qt
nominal successor unable himself to
perform the ocnstitutlonai duties of
his 9fflo9i er woree still, that perimia
doubt whether the Vice President had
not reached a condition of "inability"
within the meaning of the constitution
would throw the title to the office of
President into dispute.
Senator Fairbanks was given another
ovation as he arose to accept the nomi
nation. He said:
FAIRBANKS' RESPONSE.
"Mr. Root and Gentlemen of the_
Committe: I thank you for the very"
generous terms in which you have con
veyed the official notification of my
nomination for Vice President of the
United States. The unsolicited and
unanimous nomination by the Republi
can party is a call to duty which I am
pleased to obey.
"I accept the commission which you
bring with a profound sense of the
dignity and responsibilities of the ex
alted position for which I have been
nominated. My utmost endeavor will
be to discharge in full measure the
trust, if the action of the convention
shall meet the approval of the Ameri
can people.
"The platform adopted by the con
vention is an explicit and emphatic
declaration of the. principles in entire
harmony with those policies of our par
ty which have brought great honor and
prosperity to our common country, and
that the standard should be as good
as the best in the world, but that the
people should have the assurance that
it will be so maintained.
"Tho enemies of sound money were
powerful enough to suppress mention
of the gold standard in the platform
lately adopted by the Democratic na
tional convention. The leader of Dem
ocracy in two great national cam
paigns has declared since the ad
journment of the. convention that as
soon as the election is over, he will
undertake to organize the forces with
in the Democratic party for the next
national contest, for the purpose of
advancing the radical policies for
which his element of the party stands.
He frankly says that the' money
question is for the present in abey
ance. In view of these palpable facts
it is not the part of wisdom to aban
don our vigilance in safe-guarding the
integrity of our money system. We
must have not only a President who
is unalterably committed to the sold
standard, but both houses of Con
gress in entire accord with him upon
the subject.
"In Congress and not with the
President rests the supreme power
to determine the standard of our
money. Though the " chietf executive
should oppose Congress, acting with
in its independent constitutional au
thority, could at any time overthrow
or change tho monetary standard.
"The wisdom of our protective poli
cy finds complete justification in the
industrial development of the coun
try. This policy has become a most
vital part of cur industrial system,
which, if continued, will bring us like
blessings in the future.
"The monetary and economic policies
which have been so forcibly re-announ
ced lie at the very foundation of our
industrial life, and are essential to the
fullest development of our national
strength. They give vitality to our
manufactures and commerce, and if
impaired or overthrown there would
inevitably ensue a period Qi industrial
depression, to the serious injury of the
vast interests of both labor and capital.
"The Republican party since it pre
served tho integrity of the republic
and gave freedom to the oppressed,
never rendered a more important ser
vice to the country than when it es
tablished the gold standard. Under it
we have increased our currency sup
ply to meet the normal requirements
of business. It is gratifying that the
convention made frank and explicit
declaration of the inflexible purpose
of the party to maintain the gold
standard. It is essential not only
and must be maintained unimpaired.
When altered conditions make chan
ges in schedules desirable, their mod
ification' can be safely entrusted to
the Republican party. If they are to
be changed by the enemies of the
system along free trade lines, uncer
tainty will talco the place of certain
ty, and a re-action would surely fol- !
low-to-the injury of the wage-earners^
and all are now profitably employed."
Uncertainty undermines confidence,
and loss of confidence breeds confu
sion and distress in commercial af
fairs.
"The convention was wise not only
in its enunciation of party policies,
but in its nomination of a candidate
for the Presidency. During the last
three years, President Roosevelt ha3
been confronted with large and seri
ous questions. These he has met and
solved with high wisdom and courage.
The charges made against him - in a
Democratic find an irrefutable an
swer in his splendid administration,
never surpassed in all the history of
the republic, and never equalled by
tho party which seeks to discredit it.
"The election of the President is
imperatively demanded by those
whose success denends unon the con
tinuance of a safe, conservative, and
efficient administration of public af
fairs.
"WQ have an ample record of deeds
d: .ie, of beneficent things accomplish
ed in the public interest. The vast
business of the government has been,
well administered. The laws have
been enforced fearlessly and impar
tially. The Treasury has been ade
quately supplied with revenue and
the financial credit of the govern
ment was never better. Our foreign
trade balance continues to increase
our wealth.? We have added an ir
rigation policy which will build homes
in tho arid regions of the West. The
Panama canal, the hope of centuries,
is in course of construction, under the
sole protection of the American flag.
"We have peace and great prosperi
ty at home, and are upon terms of
good neighborhood with the entire
world. These conditions constitute
the strongest possible assurance for
the future.
'/Later, I shall avail myself of a
favorable opportunity to submit to
you, and through you, a fuller expres
sion of my views concerning the ques
tions now at issue.
"Permit me again to thank you
and to express tho belief that wc
may confidently submit our cause
to thc candid and patriotic judgment,
of our countrymen."
