the interest taken by women in the laUe
campaign and the influence Of women,
even when they cannot vote, in politics.
He said
Il know the influences coming out from
the home must be relied upon to purify
politics If our wives and mothers will
SO interest themselves in politics as to
hold before their children as they rise up
ideals, not of successful politicians, but of
those who labor for their countrys good ;
not of those who secure great wealth, but
of those who have in their treasury not a
single dollar touched with blood, those
| ideals will benefit mankind, and ! never
lose opportunity to impress upon those
teaching children that the motto which
lies deepest down in political construction
is that motto which must shape our move
ments if it retains its purity-equal rights
| to all and especial privileges to none. l
/ love my country so much, l love mankind
so WELL that l shall rejoice if the result of
the late campaign proves l was wrong
and my opponent was right Because, if
he can make the government better than
l could have made 1t, then my children
and your children will enjoy the benefits "
