cannot have honest government without
honest politics and the Democratic party

collected and corruptIy used and an
awakened people demanded that that
should stop. but the Republican senate
and house refused to listen to the de-

honesty In politics. Our committee ap-
piled the doctrine OF the platform TO the
present campaign and has done what no
national committee ever did before-lt
