apace with, or in the lead, in the pro-
gress thus made. During all of this
time every platform of'our party, ma
tional and state, has declared for the
betterment of the condition of our peo-
pie, and these pledges have been faith
fully fulfilled. The platform of the
convention which you represent con-
tains declarations of principles and as
surances intended to be further help
ful. Without a single exception fully
approve this platform and declaration
of principles. If am elected will do
all in my power to put into full opera
tion it's recommendation by propos-
ing and urging the enactment of the
necessary legislation to accomplish the
same.
Coming as do, from a rural section,
l appreciate the importance of good
roads. Much progress has been made
in that direction. Much more remains
to be done. The concensus of opinion,
in which / heartily concur, is that
there should be a more comprehensive
system of statewide road improve
ment and that all the highways of the
commonw wealth shall be speedily and
permanently improved.
The preservation of the purity of
food, water and the public health are
of vital Importance and the most care
full consideration demands the strict
enforcement of all laws relating there
to.
For many years Pennsylvania has
led all other states in her liberal sup
port of the cause of popular education.
| agree with the declaration of our
platform that our school code be re-
vised and simplified to the end that our
state shall not only be the most liberal
in this direction but shall also have the
best schools and the best school sys-
tenn obtainable.
The government of a state like ours
is great business proposition, and the
several accounts should be- so guarded
and audited that no loss or leakage of
any character shall be possible. 1t is
to our credit that acts of malfeasance
in Office have been few, all of which
have been vigorously prosecuted aud
punished.
In conclusion permit me to say am
signally honored by having associated
with me ON our state ticket my col
league in Congress-, that splendid
statesman, the Hon. ]. Nj. Reynolds, of
Bedford county, as we'll as that faithful
and genial gentleman from Lebanon
county, the Hon. Henry Houck aud the
man who was elected 10 fiji the unex-
pired term in the most important office
OF state treasurer, the Hon. C. +.
Wright, of Susquehanna county.
We all recognize the wise aud sagac-
ious policies and principles which have
distinguished the administration of the
present executive, Hon. Edwin s.
Stuart, IL shall be my earnest en-
deavor To see that the course pursued
by him shall be carried forward. Later
on, as the campaign progresses hope
10 be able in more detailed aud def
mite way to discuss the issues before
the people.
II elected governor, | shall admins
ter the affairs Of my office as a sacred
trust aud only In the interest of all the
people Of this commonwealth, irres-
peetive of party afiiiliation. Their
wish shall be my guide and their APP
proVal my greatest reward.
