shall always be an active ad-
vocate and supporter of strict legis-
lation limiting to very moderate
proportions, and stringently regulat-
ing, the expenditures of candidates
for public Office, and applying the
sanction of heavy penalties to COM
pei its observance.
One of those questions of SUI
preme importance, which only of
late has aroused public sentiment
and opinion, is that OF the conserva-
ton of our natural resources, ma
tionally and otherwise. 1 believe
in such state controI, supplemental
to the national supervision, as may
keep intact for the benefit of pres
ent and future generations of our
people, inviolate FROM private ma
nipulation as source of revenue
from the mass of the people to gil
gantic concerns formed for private
ownership and exploitation, the for
ests, streams and lands, and the
mineral and saline deposits of our
union. Local self-government is
an essentially democratic doctrine,
and it is my earnest belief that the

end that the litigant of small means
may not be substantially deprived
of his remedies by the tremendous
added expense incident to the trial
of cases in the feoeral courts
plan, to some extent already form
ulated, and supported by enlighten-
: ed men throughout the country, to
: repeal the federal act which per
mits the removal by foreign corpor-
: atoms of their cases from the state
to federal courts, on the ground OF
: diversity of citizenship, and com

: state courts upon the same grounds
as apply in the cases of resident in
l. dividuals
The experiences of the past tire,
II years with reference to the bank
d ing system of the country, gener

, the great body of our people tn
= imperative necessity of having tn
ST laws provide for the safety of de
is posts in banking houses, nationa
