every official high or low, can serve his
party best by rendering to the people
the best service OF which he is capable.
Effective government comes only as the
result of the loyal corporation of many
different persons. The members of a
legislative majority. The officers In the
ton, and the legislative and executive
branches as towards each other, must
WORK together with subordination of self
to the common end OF successful govern

power as public servants during the past
seven years of administration and legis-
lation now come before the people content
