"The program that I am engaged in
is the election of a bodv of Democrats
who can change the policy of the
State. / am not speaking for myself;

vention that nominated me, to repre-

purpose, which I hope will turn out to
be the purpose of the people of New
/ Jersey. want to say just this about
the means which we are to use to ac-
complish the ends that are ahead OF
us. ps
Il know that recently great many
persons have talked as II they were I'M
patient OF law-as II they were impa-
tient of those slow processes by which
legal remedies are effected. l know
that there are great many persons
who wish that 1t were possible, Just Dy
vote, to put out everything that Is
wrong and to put in everything that
is good; but If you had that sort OF an
arrangement you would not accom-
plish anything at all.
Law Is Poor Mans Friend.
you cannot accomplish ANYTHING ex-
cent through the instrumentality of the
law. Now. the law is a. rough and
ready instrument. Law cannot adapt

"By preaching the efficacy of the law
\ now 7 am NOT urging that the law
should be left as 1t is. but that these
/ lproposed changes of the law should
not be made in hot temper. on sudden
liirlpulse. There are things to be
changed in the body of the law, but
those changes should be made by reso-
luton of boards of directors
There is another singular contrast
in the history of the Democratic party,
speaking historically. The Democratic
party has always been party of the
widest sympathy, and I think that 1t
has always, In a certain sense, been a
conservative party not a radical party.
l would like to illustrate for you If l
knew how to illustrate it sufficiently.
| just what 1 mean. l do not mean
party which tries to hold men back,
party that does not progress, because
nothing is so conservative as progress.
