dasultory and conversational. He
said:
THINKS HE'S ALL RIGHT.
Sometimes when L am weary with

fence like this and be informed by so
many people that l am all right
don't know whether you mean that l
am all right physically or politically.

seeing the people themselves.

you what Republicans used 10 be-
lieve who have surrendered their con-
victions and permitted Their party 10
act for them instead OF acting FOR them
selves. Great applause) There Is not
a proposition which we made today
which cannot be defended by what
leading Republicans have said IN ths-
past. I am one OF those. my friends.
II may be lille oId-fashioned, but
am one OF those who believe that a

a man ought to make his party suit
his convictions and not cut his conyic-
tons TO suit a party platform. Great
