Speaks Of Party's Duty.
In speaking of the party's duty the
colonel said:
"Our first duty is to war against
dishonesty. We war against II In
public life and we war against 1t In
business life. Corruption in every
| form is the arch.enemy of ,his re.
| public: the arch-encmy Of free insti-
utions and Of government by the
people. an even more dangerous en-
emy thal the open lawlessncss Of
violence, because It works i'm hidden
and furtive fashion We are against
corruption in politics; we are against
corruption in business; and above
all, with all our strength. we are
against the degrading alliance Of
crooked business and crooked poll
tics, the alliance which adds strength
to the already powerful corrupt boss
and to the already powerful corrupt
head of big business, and which
makes them in their dual capacity
enemies against whom every patriotic
man should stand with unwavering
| firmness Let no man say that this
is an assault upon the serious busl-
ness man. That is as foolish as to
| say that It is an assault upon the
upright political leader. The extent
| OF our veneratiOn for the great name
| of Abrahaih Lincoln, true servant
of the people, measures also the ex-
tent of our adherence for the crook
ed boss who misleads and misgov
erns and corrupts the people; and so
the high regard in which we hold the
| upright and honest business man who
reaps a great reward by rendering a
great service 10 the community, Is
the measure of our contempt and abb
horrence for that business man, big
or little who wins success by corrup-
tion and fraud, who swindles the
public instead Of serving the public

over the availability of Senator Har
