in the interests of the people, now as
heretofore battling for their rights and
freedom, do consider: We reaffirm our
allegiance to and our belief in the time

hundreds and thousands of worthy but

mistakes, but must place trust in the
hands of those only who have been tried
and who are experienced, and who are
not only acquainted with the wants of
the people but also with the means
necessary to supply them 1t is the sin
