NADER Surely he has enough to do
without undertaking the management
OF affairs that do not pertain to his

Undoubtedly to take advantage OF the

nothing; the Office everything. But the
duties Of the Office are well defined
and already onerous. Why seek to en-
large them, and at the expense OF our
form of government
But there is another phase OF the
question. one In every particular rs
important as It's bearing upon the
presidential office. II Is the effect that
these appeals have on the people them
selves. They make them dependent
and destroy their self-rellance; they
make them lock to another and not to

this II Is at least Sinking OF respon-
sIbillty, desire to avoid the trouble
and annoyance that always accompany

people Respect for themselves and
respect for the President should forbid

appeals.

intend sending party Of 'evangeIsts"

that there will be no Trades against

that Bible teachings will be presented
