THE REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE
''I never was proud in all my life Of
my old constituents as / have been to-day.
You have gladdened my heart in these clos
ing hours of the most memorable campaign
in the history of our country. Woices,
Wait till Tuesday night!) We have but
one aim, one single aim, and that is the
public good. Our doctrine embraces every
home and fireside in the land. 1t is not
sectional. it is not local, but it IS general
and universal. We don't believe in classes
in the United States. There is just one
class under our flag, and all of us belong
to it, and the poorest boy in the Mahoning
valley thank God, under our free inStitu-
tions, can aspire to the confidence and hon
ors of his countrymen. What a splendid
glorious Republic we have. Nothing like it
under the sun. Each one Is the equal of
every other. and has just as much power
next Tuesday as any other anywhere in the
country.
II remember the old county of Mahoning
when it had less than 5000 inhabitants.
[ remember the cits of Youngstown when
! was a boy. II had but 5000 inhabitants

next Tuesday can contribute.
-Four wears ago youngstown was rejoic-

better prices than ever before. and then.
as you will remember, the people of the
country were strangely derelict in their
duty and voted a change in economic
laws They believed the claims of our po-
litical opponents. that protection made no
difference TO them any way. They ran
away from their unprecedented prosperity
