TIRE MAS THEY WANT.
The people OF this country know what
they want and also whom they want.
IN my judgment they want man
capable Of performing the duties Of the
position intelligently; q man who will
understand the needs and wants of the
people: a mar who has a knowledge
and experience in connection with the
affairs Of the government. They want
a man who understands the diversified
interests of this great people, and who
will use all proper means for their pro-
tectiOn and success. A man who knows
the wants Of the masses and needs of
the lab0rer and viii use al his power
and influence in caring for those wants
and interests; man that il conyersant
with our commercial relations with
foreign nations, and q man that realizes
that a greater outlet IL needed for our
surplus products; a man who can and
will. in proper manner establish rela-
tions with our sister republics Of Mexi-
co and South America that will enlarge
our commerce with them. a mau who
understands ~hat American manhood
Is. or who will n a proper way. Ike
the citizens Of the United States feel a
pride in being a citizen; that lie will
receive proper protection, both at home
and abroad.
