for his word and his regard for the

Secondly. a man of clear insight

is awake to the oittimeS conflicting
interests of capital and labor, and
has the capacity to master those
difficult problems without destroy
ing capital, or driving ii from &C
cupation. and at the same time,
protect and magnify the rights OF
labor, and add to the privileges
giving to the laborer the means to
add to the comfort and luxuries of
home and support his family, and
prepare his children for the high
duties of American citizenship; to
make capital and labor equal part

our people, il they pursue the paths
of honorable dealing and upright
ness. We do not want for governor
man who has great riches, if he
is lacking in these other require
