for tho imported neccssarics OF life that should have
been produced at home and the country was thus WITH
out currency. In the protective legislation OF that
laid the foundation of that growth in wealth
and prosperity that is the wonder OF

would not be done by him.
You would not find I'm HIS letter OF acceptance an
able argument against the fitness of Presidential
incumbent for second term, followed by years OF
persistent and INSCRIPTIONS effort TO second
term.
You would not find in his official utterances I'M
