In his speech as temporary chairman of the Republican state convention in Connecticut, Senator Orville Hitchcock Platt reviews and praises the accomplishments of the Republican party during the last three terms. Platt also praises President Roosevelt, and vice-presidential nominee Charles W. Fairbanks, and believes that the Democrats’ attempts to make personal attacks on Roosevelt’s character will not be effective, as Roosevelt is a good, strong leader who was nominated by acclamation.
