Representative Government.

This is a representative government and not a pure democracy. The latter would be unavoidable in a country of this magnitude. Except with regard to fundamental questions or matters comparatively simple, it is impractical ble for the electorate directly to ex press its views. Our system preSup- poses the fidelity of the chosen repre- sentatives of the people. 1 believe in party government to enforce and ap- ply party principles; l believe in the responsibility of party administration in accordance with the policies an- nounced in the party platform. These policies are but the described methods of public service and the defined means believed to be conducive to the public welfare. In short I believe in fidelity to principle. publicly professed and in honorable obedience to the oath of office. Upon the fulfillment of these paramount fiduciary obligation, and upon the public intolerance of the perversion of the authority conferred by the people to the service of any private interest, the safety of our in stitutions depends.

Labor and Business Conditions.

We are a nation of workers. Idlers are comparatively few Our people age employed in vast network of activities. We must respect the de- mands of industry and be solicitors to promote the welfare of those who in agriculture. in manufacture, and in the various enterprises incident to the exchanges of commerce are contrbut- ing to the sum of national effort. The prosperity of the nation means the prosperity of it's millions of toilers. We are so interdependent that any dis turbance or dislocation has a far reaching effect, and their most injuri- ous consequences are borne by those least able to endure disaster-the wage-earners and the men of limited resources. We desire to see the oppor- tunities for labor protected and en- larged; the conditions of labor improv- ed; the reasonable adjustment of con- troversies; and above all we should seek to maintain stability and confi- dence. in order that the talent of our people for productive industry may have the widest scope for honora ble employment, and that we may enjoy to the greatest possible extent that widely diffused prosperity and happi- ness to which we are entitled hy vir- tue of our resources and our energy.

Constitutional Government.

In this country progress cannot he made save in harmony with our con stitutional system. The Constitution in it's entirety must be observed. The power derived from the people must be exercised upon the conditions which they have laid down. The functions of each department of government-ex- ecutive. legislative. and iudicial-are defined. and the responsibilities of each department are fixed. The people have not only thus marked out the spheres and limited the powers of their repre- sentatives. but the provisions of our Constitutions are also checks upon the hastv and in consderate action of the people themselves According to our system. the controlling will of the peo- pie is found in constitutional provis- ions. as interpreted and applied by the courts, and these must remain effec- tive until the people change them by amending the Constitution in the pre- scrihed manner

Special Privilege.

The battle for free institutions has been a struggle against special privi- lege It is not won merely by the ere ation of new forms of government. Against every attempt to make gov ernment the instrument of selfish pur- poses free people must constantly be on the alert. Every franchise granted by the people is a privilege justified only by considerations of the public welfare, and the conditions of its exercise should be such as to insure the performance of public obligation. There must be no encroachment on the common right for the purpose of serving the interests of the few at the expense of the many.

These considerations are more anu not less important because of the de- velopment of interstate commerce anu the powerful forces in the Woriu u business which in their practcal opei ation ignore State lines. Ana the necessary extension of the actiNities of the federal government as 10 iiidt- ters inevitably committed to us con trol should make us the more solici'- ous that the administration or old'e governments should show the hlshes' degree of efficiency
 There are two dangers. The one IS that serious evils of national scope may go unchecked because tederdi power is not exercised. The other lies in an unnecessary exercise ot ieu- eral power, burdening the central au- thority with an attempted control which would result in the impairment of propeF local autonomy ana eA- tending it so widely as to defeat its purpose. It must be remembered that an evil is not the proper subject ol federal cognizance merely because II may exist in many States. All sorts or evils exist in many States which should be corrected by the exercise of local power, and they are not evlis or federal concern although they may De widespread.
 On the other hand it cannot be re- garded as policy of unwise central ization that, wherever there is serl- ous evil demanding governmental cor rection which afflicts interstate com merce and hence is beyond the control of the States. the power of congress should unhesitatingly be exercised.
 But we are not left to the consider ation of general principles of govern mental action. Congress has the power given to it by the constitution It cannot if it would, invade the rights of the States. It has express authority to regulate commerce among the several States, The scope of the interstate commerce clause ano the boundaries of the federal powers which it authorizes are the subject oi determination by the Supreme court Congress can act only within the linn i it's so fixed, and in acting within those limits, the question is not one of pow CT but of the nature of the evil and o1 the appropriate remedy for its cure.
 Having stated these principles shall define briefly my position witt regard to certain particular questions
