at the primaries
Quoting Jeffersons maxim, Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty Mr.
Williams urged young men to strive to
keep from office those who would use
their places to fill their pockets and labor
to keep politics pure. He reminded his
hearers of the high ideals which actuat-
ed the Republics founders and held that
they should be faithfully cherished. He
showed how influence acted upon poll
ticians. which is the better observed
when parties are more evenly divided.
ut is then" said he, that politicians
can be put under bond for their good be
havior and made to yield to what public
sentiment demands"
Mr.. Williams summed up by stating

captain of his own spirit. by such a
man mean. a man who for money or
Office will not surrender his own CON

measures. and public men are to be test
ed by their fidelity to party policies
Mr.. Williams gives good counsel which
young men of all parties may we'll ponder
and practice If the best men of the
country do not run it, the worst men
will. The best men prcpontle1Hte, and
