FAIRBANKS NOTIFIED
Republican Candidate For Vice-President
Accepts Nomination
SPEECHES MADE AT INDIANAPOLIS
Five Theucsnd People Enthusiastically
Greeted the Speakers as
They Appeared on the Veranda of
the Fairbanks Home.
Indianapolis, Special.?Charles W.
Fairbanks, senior United States Senator
from Indiana, was Wednesday formally
notified of his nomination for
vice president of the United States by
the Republican convention. The notification
address was made by Elibu
Root, former Secretary of War. The
exercises were held on the wide varanda
of Senator Fairbanks' beautiful
home at Sixteenth and Meridian streets,
in the presence of members of the notification
committee and many other
invited guests. The day was one of the
most beautiful of the year, and as
Senator Fairbanks stood on the veranda
watching the finishing touches being
put to the preliminary arrangements,
he smilingly said: "This is the kind we
vcprl tr? /*a1l \CpTCinlpv "
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
vay to the veranda, where seats were
arranged for all.
An enthusiastic greeting was accorded
the two speakers as they appeared
on the veranda. The demoastration
lasted for several minutes, during
which the members of the committee
were seated. Cheers broke out again
and aga'n and several recognitions
were necessary before quiet was secured.
Mr. Root, without preliminary, addressed
himself to the formal notification.
He said:
Senator Fairbanks: The committee
which now waits upon you was appointed
by the National Convention of
the Republican party, held at Chicago
in June, and its agreeable duty is to notify
you of your nomination as the Republican
candidate for the office of
\ ice-rresiueui 01 uie uuncu oiui<r& wi
the term to begin on the 4th day of
March, 1905.
We give you formal notice of that
nomination with, assurance of the undivided
and hearty support of the great
party which has executed the people's
will in the government of this country
for the better part of the last half
century. The nomination comes to you
in accordance with the best methods
and practices of representative government.
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 lv was not upon the demand
?f 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 campaign
fund of the party. No bargains
or intrigues contributed to It. No suppressions
of the truth or misleading of
the convention as to your principles
and opinions were necessary to bring
it about. It was the deliberate, informed
and intelligent judgment of the delegates
from every State and Territory,
and it was their unanimous judgment.
It is a great office to which you are
called. John Adams and Thamas Jefferson,
and George Clinton, and John
C. Calhoun, and Martin Van Burcn, and
many others whose names are illustrious
in the history of our country, have
filled it. It is an office of high dignity
and immediate, ever present importance.
The credit and honor of our
country are greatly concerned In the
character and cond\jct of the man who
avaw of tho TTnit^H
Pi coiuvo u>v;i --v.
Slates?that powerful and august
body, of which you are already so experienced,
so useful and so honored
a member.
Eut the Vice-President has other
grave duties of imperative obligation.
When the people elect a President under
our political system they do not
merely select the man for the office;
they give their approval to certain
controlling principles and policies of
government; and the administration of
which the Vice-President is a part is
bound to give efTect to these principles
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 policies
which the people have entrusted
to the administration for execution.
As to the supreme responsibility of
i he Vice-Pre6idency in case or succession
to the presidency, we shall all
pi ay, 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
ic nrv iHlrx fnrm Of tho
lust twelve Presidents elected by the
people of the United States five
?nearly one-half?have died in office
and have been succeeded by Vice-Presidents.
A serious obligation rests upon
the political parties which select
the candidates between whom the people
must choose, to see to it that
they nominate men for this possible
succession who have the strength of
ix>dy and mind and character which
sbail enable them, if occassion comes,
to take up the burdens of the great
. presidential omce, to endure its trying
and exhausting demands, to meet its
, gieat responsibilities, and with firm
hand r.nd clear vision to guide the
government of the country until the
people can express their choice again.
Cur opponents of the Democratic
party have signally failed to perform
this duty. They have nominated as
heir candidate for the Vice Presidency
an ex. client gentleman, who was born
luring the presidency of James Monroe
and who before the 4th of March next
will he in the eighty-second year of his
ace. Before the next administration is
untied, he will be approaching his eigh
j fy-sixth birthday. It is no disparagei
merit of this gentleman, for whom I
j believe we all have the highest respect,
i to sny that he shares the common lot
I of mortals, and that the election of any
j mar. of such great age would furnish
".o safeguard to the American people
rg:;in-:f the disaster which would ensue
i on the death of a President with a
successor not competent to perform the
i' ties oi the presidential office. It is
common experience that very aged men
however bright and active they may appear
for brief periods, cannot sustain
long continued severe exertion. The
bomands of the presidential office upon
re m.or.tal^ and physical vitality are so
\ reat. so continuous and so exhausting
as to be wholly beyond the capacity
of any man of eighty-five.
The attempt by such a man to perform
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 remote
possibility of the election of the
Democratic candidate for Vice President,
the people of the country are
bound %) contemplate also as a necessary
result of 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 of
nominal successor unable himself to
perform the constitutional duties of
his office: or worse still, that serious
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 nomination.
He said:
FAIRBANKS' RESPONSE.
"Mr. Root and Gentlemen of the
Committe: I thank you for the very
generous terms in which you have conveyed
the official notification of my
nomination for Vice President of the
United States. The unsolicited and
unanimous nomination by the Republican
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 exalted
position for which I have been
nominated. My utmost endeavor will
be to discharge in full measure the
trust. if tne action or me convention i
shall meet the approval of the Ameri- (
ran people.
"The platform adopted by the convention
Is an explicit and emphatic
declaration of the principles in entire
harmony with those policies of our party
which have brought great honor and
prosperity to our common country, and
which, if continued, will bring us like
blessings in the future.
"The monetary and economic policies
which have been so forcibly re-announced
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 j
impaired or overthrown there would
inevitably ensue a period of industrial
depression, to the serious injury of the
vast interests of both labor and capital, j
"The Republican party since it pre- |
served the integrity of the republic
and gave freedom to the oppressed, j
never rendered a more important service
to the country than when it established
the gold standard. Under it
we have increased our currency supply
to meet the normal requirements
of business. It is gratifying that the 1
convention made frank and explicit
declaration of the inflexible purpose <
of the party to maintain the gold
standard, it is essential not oniv
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.
"The enemies of sound money were
powerful enough to suppress mention
of the gold standard in the platform
lately adopted by the Democratic national
convention. The leader of Democracy
in two great national campaigns
has declared since the adjournment
of the convention that as
soon as the election is over, he will
undertake to organize the forces within
the Democratic party for the next
national contest, for the purpose of
advancing the radical policies for
which his clement of the party stands.
He frankly says that the money
question is for the present in abeyance.
In view of these palpable facts
it is not the part of wisdom to abandon
our vigilance in safe-guarding the
integrity of our money system. We
must have not only a President who
is unalterably committed to the gold
standard, but both houses of Congress
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 chief executive
should oppose Congress, acting within
its- independent constitutional authority,
could at any time overthrow
or change the monetary standard.
"The wisdom of our protective policy
finds complete justification in the ]
industrial development of tne coun- ,
try. This policy has become a most ,
vital part of our industrial system. ]
and must be maintained unimpaired, j
When altered conditions make changes
in schedules desirable, their modification
can be safely entrusted to
the Republican party. If they are to
be changed by the enemfes of the
system along free trade lines, uncer- (
tainty will take the place of certain- (
ty, and a re-action would surely follow
to the injury of the wage-earners <
and all are now profitably employed
Uncertainty undermines confidence, 1
and loss of confidence breeds confu- i
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 has
been confronted with large and serious
questions. These he has met
solved with high wisdom and coura*.
The charges made against him in a
Democratic find an irrefutablo answer
in his splendid administration, i
never surpassed in all the history of
the republic, and never equalled by
the party which seeks to discredit it.
"The election of the President is
imperatively demanded by those
whose success depends upon the con/
i tmuance or a safe, conservative, and
efficient administration of public affairs.
"We have an ample record of deeds
done, of beneficent things accomplished
in the public interest. The vast
business of the government has been
well administered. T};e laws have
been enforced fearlessly and impartially.
The Treasury has been adequately
supplied with revenue and
the financial credit of the government
was never better. Our foreign
trade balance continues to increase
cur wealth. We have added an irrigation
policy which will budd homes
in the arid regions of the West. The
Panama canal, the hope cf centuries,
is In course of construction, under the
sole protection of the American flag.
"We have peace and great prosperity
at heme, and aro upon terms of
good neighborhood witn tne entire
world. These conditions constitute
tho strongest possible assurance for
the future.
"Later, I shall avail myself of a
favorable opportunity to submit to
you, and through you, a fuller expression
of my views concerning the questions
now at issue.
"Permit me again to thank you
and to express the belief that we
may confidently submit our cause
to the candid and patriotic judgment
cf our countrymen."

p
PRESIDED AT ALBANY LAST TIME
j "
Without Any Advance Announcement
He Arrived at Albany, Took Part in
Clearing Up Practically All the
Cases Before the Court of Appeals
and Then Sent in His Resignation
to the Secretary of State.
Albany, N. Y.t Special.?Alton B.
Parker ceased to be Chief Judge of the i
Court of Appeals of this State at 3:20 |
p. m. Friday, and became the untrameled
candidate of the Democratic party
for the presidency of the United States,
lacking only the formal notification of
his nomination, which will take place
at Rosemount next Wednesday afternoon.
Without any advance announcement
or intimation of his purpose, he came
to Albany, took part with five of the
other judges in clearing up practically
all of the cases which had been argued
before the court, and then sent a messenger
to file his formal resignation in
the office of the Secretary of State, as
the constitution and public officers' law
required.
He left Esopus at 10:26 a. m., accompanied
by the newspaper men 'who
have been on duty at Rosemount ever
since hiB nomination. Until after the
train had left Kingston, he would not
divulge his destination. Few people in
the day coach in which he rode appeared
to recognize him, though there were
one or two Ulster county acquaintances
with whom he chatted until the train

Just after 1 o'clock, and after
luncheon went to the capitol and at
once joined In consultation with his
oolleagues over the cases pending before
the court The consultation lasted
a little over one hour, and at 3:05 the
Judges filed into the court room and
handed down to the clerk 66 decisions
which practically cleared up the business
before the court The only caaes
remaining are two or three In the
hands of Judges Gray and Bartlett, who
are in Europe. All of the cases in
which Judge Parker was assisting
Judge were disposed of. An Interesting
feature of the session of the court was
that the judges were without the long,
black silk robes which they ordinarily
wear. This was owing to the fact
that the session was unexpected and
there had not been time to get the
robes, which had been packed away for
the summer.
The judges present were: Parker,
O'Brien, Martin, Vann. Cullen and I
Werner.
The court was in session less than
two minutes, and adjournment was
taken until October 3. It is a long
time since any such number of decis-.
ions has been handed down at one siting
of the court.
His business as Chief Judge being
thus completed, Judge Parker then
took up the matter upon which he had
come to Albany, the filing of his resignation.
He called in all the newspaper
men, took them through the court
chambers and consultation rooms, and
Introduced each one to his Associate
Judges. In his own room, which he
has occupied so long, he stopped and
looked out of the window to t&e distant
hills across the Hudson. His voice
trembled perceptibly as he said: "This
room, boys, was mine."
The very slight emphasis upon the
word "was" was the first indication he
had given of his intention to resign.
Returning to the consultation room,
he took a long envelope from his
pocket, and. turning to Buell C. Andrews,
one of the officials of the court,
3aid: "Andrews, will you do a kindness
for me? Just take this downstairs
and file it with the Secretary of
State."
The document read:
"Hon. John F. O'Brien, Secretary of
State.
"Sir: I hereby respectfully resign my
cfflce as Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals of the State of New York, such
resignation to taKe enect immeaiaieiy. i
