to their convictions. But it will
be built on a foundation deeper

press nothing that reaches the
core of the troubles which confront
us. Its motto will be something
like this: Let the people rule.
Its platform could properly be
short, plain and responsive to the
needs Of the times and could safe
ly be constructed on six pillars:
Il. Get the people at work;
pay them for what they do.

50. Dat with the transporta-
