As | go from one part of this state
to another | receive a great deal of eX-
cellent advice. laughter | mean
that; l was not joking. | do not mean
that all Of it is exeellent-all the ad-
Vice
4 am advised. for example. when | go
To one part of the State that what the
people are deeply interested in is this
issue or that issue; they desire first
that | make a speech about rate-mak-
ing, then that | make speech about
an employers liability act, and then
about electoral reform. and in another
place their interest is in direct pri-
mary, and 50 forth, md so forth Now
all of that is very serviceable TO me-
because | think 1t is right, indeed.
/ think il is necessary To interest the at
tention of the voter upon measures
which he thinks necessary to serve
I the interests of the State. But what
( lies back of all that is not his own
local and particular interests, but the
! interests of the state, and the particu-
/ lar issues is merely generally To draw
! his attention to the great principle tha1
underlies ii all; and an issue that does
not lead up to a principle is not wortf
| talking about | do not mean that al
public business leads up to principle
because that is not true Many meas
ures have to be enacted in which there
! lies an expression of politics and not 1
great conception of government. Blu
the only way to keep the force behind
the government is to discuss thos'
things that lead up to principles.

Il receive good many condolences
and | have received condolences from
men very high in the financial world
which have astonished me- they hav'
repented; that's what happened. |
they can manifest their offence with
out too much public modification, the,
are ready to do so. The men witt
have been engaged in certain question
able transactions in recent years are
many OF them, men who do not realiz
that the transactions We're question
able, who now see that they We're ant
are ready to help in rendering sucl
transactions in the future impossible
not only for the benefit of the coun
try, but for their own self-protection
They don't want to be led into tempta
ton: they believe in the spirit of tn
Lords prayer-'Lead us not into temp
tation, but deliver us from evil; ant
there are ways OF delivering onesel
from evil that are statutory, and tina
have finger that points to the peni
tentiary
''The only theme l have in my min'
tonight is the necessity of controllin
men, not in a pedantic way, but never
theless dwelling upon essential princi
pies of public action; and let ever
man say that what we are at presen
engaged in Is not so much how to rul
men personally, but how to rule then
on principles that are fair to every
body; in other words, let us determin
the best way in which to realize justice
1t is not short road; 1t is long roac
And when | see the possibility that
great many of my fellow men may re
pose their trust in me for the realization
Of some of the principles of justice, m
\ heart fails ME, because 1 have read tn
history of our country and of othe
countries, and it is not possible to &
a very long way upon the road of jus
tice in any one generation; it is no
! possible for any one man to realiz
4 large hopes, either his own hopes 0
