owes no less nor more to them, whether he was
selected by small or large majority. In either
event he owes to the people who have honored
him his best endeavors to carefully protect their

supply all their various needs and wants and
the party which keeps in sight it's landmarks.
and yet observes these things which are in ad-
as well as to Its traditions will be the dominant
party of the future"
