question, the banking question, the
labor question, the question of impe-
lialism, the development of our
waterways, or any other of the
numerous problems which press for
solution, we shall find that the real
question involved in each is, whether
the government shall remain a mere
business asset of favor seeking cor
porations or be an instrument In the
hands of the people for the advance
ment of the common veal.
Our Party's Ideal.
The platform of our party closes
with a brief statement Of the party's
ideal. 1t favors "such an admins
tration of the government as will in
sure, as far as human wisdom can,
that each citizen shall draw from
society a reward commensurate with
his contribution to the welfare of
society. .
Governments are good in proper
tion as they assure to each member
of society, so far as governments can,
O return commensurate with indi-
vidual merit.
The Divine Law of Rewards.
There is divine law of rewards
When the Creator gave us the earth,
with its fruitful soil, the sunshine
with its warmth and the rains with
their moisture, He proclaimed, as
clearly as if His voice had thnndered
from the clouds, "Go work, and ac-
cording to your industry and your in
telligence, so shall be your reward. F"
Only where might has overthrown,
cunning undermined or government
suspended this law, has different
law prevailed. To conform the gov
ernment to this law ought to be the
ambition of the statesman; and no
party can have higher mission than
to make it a reality wherever govern
ments can legitimately operate.
Justice to All.
Recognizing that l am indebted for
my nomination to the rank and file
of our party and that my election
must come, if it comes at all, from
the unpurchased and mpurchasable
suffrages of the American people, L
promise, if entrusted with the respon-
sibilities of this high office, to con-
secrate whatever ability l have to the
one purpose of making this, in fact,
a government in which the people
