for a man who measured up to the
stature of this lofty place, and New

and place in our national life. and New

against the strenuous sword play Of
a staggering administration a simple

wisdom Of its members; IL you ask
me what his policy Will be. IL elected, I

which finds expression in the platform
OF his party.

and anger of the older. other days;
abandon all the grudge and rancor of
