of the public honor, the
public peace and the stability and val
lie of the currency used by our people.
am proud to take my stand with the
,ld-fashiOned Democrats who have re-
used to abadon their honest convic-
ions in order to form unnatural alli-
lnces with political and social organ
cations whOseS purposes are danger
,uS to the country and wholly incOn
istent with the fundamental princi-
,les of our party, and l pledge to you
md your associates such support and
assistance as l can properly give dur
ng the campaign.
