must be no personal differences, no
divisions, no factional warfare. In
the event Of party success there is
glory enough for all On the eve of
the pending struggle personal am

best for the whole country. The
forces of in ustice, of extravaganza
and corruption, the breeders OF
panics, the defenders of policy
that means the enrichment OF the
few and the impoverlshment Of the
many must be and can be defeated
