These principles were presented two
ynars ago 10 the voters Of the country
and received their endorsement by n
tremendous majority. Since thon the

US have been more and more than ever
diacrrdited. IL must he conceded also
that intelligent and disinterested men
who have lett the ranks OF our oppD-
nonls aud Joined our standard are ex-
repllounlly numerous and Influential.
The fact that with all these things IN

did not know the desperate and dis
reputable methods which confront us.
Our opponents have been vanqulshod

ita source In the powerful exertlon OF

tinuance OF governmental favor In

The forces behind It are greed and
helfshn.ss, willing TO prostitute the
suffrage OF the people to pecuniary
gain.
This deal between a political party
aud private enterprise, by which
governmental aid IN promised IN en-
change for partisan support, is covered
by tho protoxt OF care for the business
interests OF the country. While we
readily concede the importance OF these
Interests and hold that no political
party should DO unmindful OF ilIem or

that no plea for their promotion shall

that the patriotic business men OF our
country should repudiale the sugges-
