Is the keystone of the republic, while the
other Is the corner stone Of its prosperity.
Our great engine of government was
first perfected and set in motion in Penn
sylvania, and no people being more famil-
lar with its construction or more devoted
to its onward movement. we propose to
furnish the chief engineer for its coming
four years journey.
Through every stage Of our national
development: through all the storms and
struggles of the republic, the people of
Pennsylvania have furnished in abundant
measure that conscientious conservatism
and constructive genius which has sus-
tanned it's steady growth and proved It's
title to the first place in the ranks of the
worlds great nations.

brought nearer to the people and the
people nearer to the government, and
as the relation has become moro init
mate the results have become more
beneficial to both.

the powers of the Constitution was
never more striking than now.
