Had we favored anything else, we
would have been guilty of deception

critic in the world is he who publicly
processes one thing and then acts
another. The Republicans adopted
the platform upon which they elect

edge of what it meant. They knew
that the State debt question was the
paramount issue in the campaign.
They chose to take high grounds in
favor of maintaining the honor and
integrity of the State. The people
believed that they meant what they
said, and trusted them. They
have kept their faith with the peo-
pie. Governor Hawkins wrote a
strong message favoring the settle
ment upon terms proposed by the
bondholders. The Republican mem-
bers of the legislature, with a few
exceptions, voted as their platform
said they would. They disappointed
no one. They kept their promises
