Stirring Keynote on Progress at First Campaign Convention
Indiana speech by Albert J. Beveridge as permanent chairman frames the 20th century Republican ascent. He touts industrial cooperation, tariff protections, and expansion into the Orient, praising trusts as drivers of prosperity while pledging reform via targeted regulation and a commerce department. He cites railroad consolidations, Steel Trust employment, and the Philippines as proof of national growth and fiscal health.
