the public questions involved in the
pending contest and the high character
OF It's nominees, cannot fail to arouse
the real Democratic sentiment OF the
country and command the hearty sun
port of all who sincerely believe not

honor and the public peace, but in the
stability and value Of the currency used
by our people. I am proud to take NV
stand with the old-fashioned Democrats
who have refused to abandon their hon
est convictions in order to form unnat-
ural alliances with political and social
organizations whose purposes are dan
gerous to the country and wholly in
consistent with the fundamental prin-
ciples Of our party, and I pledge to You
and your associates such support and
assistance as I can properly give dur
