travasance in expenditures Of public funds
for purposes other than the public veal. and
often not necessary, is matter OF serious
moment. especially at this time. when the
state Of the country demands lower rather
than increased taxation.
Foreign Complications.
1.-THE strained relations existing between
various foreign countries, as well as between
scme of them and their dependencies. re-
quire the exercise Of broad craftsmanship
in the conduct of our foreign policy. so that
while mainta.aing the honor of our coun-
try and affording the amplest protection to
every citizen of our republic. there shall be
manifested that fairness and magnaninity
which a stronger nation should ever show
toward a weaker power.
These and other matters Of Importance
affecting the best interests of all the citizens
of the country demand attention. but SUBJ
nit. what hope can be expected for satis-
factory solution and settlement of them
from either of the two dominant parties.
under whose alternating administrations
the wrongs growing out of them have been
fostered and developed until they have be-
come barnacles, if not fostering sores, ON

the spirit of unsefishness which has been
Its dominant principle, pledges itself, as
soon as the power of legislation is given to
1t. to act on all these matters as the existing
I'll anu welfare OIL lne whole
people may demand.
In view. therefore. of the utter failure
or the other parties to properly legislate on
these matters when In power hold that the
time has arrived when the voters Of this
country can and should trust the reins of
government into the hands of the prohibi-
ton party. having the assurance, based on
the spirit of disinterestedness that has al
ways animated it, that every pledge will be
honestly fulfilled. and every act of legisa-
ton Will have for its controlling motive the
nonor OF Cod the welfare of the people and
tne good or the country. so dear to us all.
For myself, 1 can only say that, should
the voters of the United States see fit to call
me TO the duties and responsibilities of the
nieh and exalted position Of the chief mag
istracy OF this nation. the greatest on the
race OF the earth. l can only promise. in the
rear OF God. and in reliance upon the guild
ance OF the Holy Spirit. to discharge these
duties to the best of my ability with an eve
single to His glory and for the good of the
people OF every section OF our land without
