The Judge said In part:

OF the history of their party covering 4
half century OF federal administration,

to substitute practice for preaching and
performance for promise.
Indeed they seized 1t by the nominal
ton Of Wilson and Marshall.

cannot be loosened. Aye, either by the
hosts of republicanism or by the deluded
people who have not yet discovered that

pretense is with the hope that he will
thus secure the aid of the Lords hosts

ten law OF the country and in disregard
of his pledge to the people to obey that
law.

seized the opportunity, is SO
simple and straightforward that II at
once captured confidence and arouses en-
thusasm. 1t was accomplished by sirn-
ply nominating for president and Vice
president men whose records as gover-
nors, respectively Of New Jersey and In
diana, show that they know how to create
and apply needed governmental remedies.

hat the pledges of their party and their
Dwn promises TO the people will be faith.
