PERFECTION NOT EXPECTED.
Il cannot hope that my Administra
ton, II elected. will be free from mis-
takes, for contend that perfection Is
not TO be found in this world. and that
all that we can do Is to approach 1t
rs nearly as we can with the light
before tbs and with sincere purpose
to do what is right. | cannot hope not
to make mistakes. but | promise you
that if l am elected there will be four
years in this country when no cs.izen
here or foreigner abroad will have any
doubt that the Declaration of indie
pendonce Is the law of this land
