FOR him because he stands for genuine
representative government-the act
ual rule Of the people after careful
onslderation OF all governmental
matters coming before them. He
would free trade and commerce OF
the lmposts and handicaps with which
they are now burdened He would
place on the statute books a law reg
ulating interstate commerce so clear,
so concise. so Just and so definite that
all men and I'll corporations would not
be left in doubt as to whether they
were complying with or violating the
law. He would thus place our indus
trial affairs upon solid and legiti-
mate foundation, freed from uncer-
tanty and distrust.
In his record as Governor OF New
Jersey he has literally lived up to and
exemplifed In his every act the
time honored tenet OF democracy:
Equal rights for all. special privileges
to none"
He will bring TO the discharge of his
duties as chief magistrate OF the ma
ton. the right scholarship OF a Ban
croft. a Lowell and a Hawthorne, all
OF whom held political Office; he will
have had the experience that comes
from practical administration and
executive responsibilities. and in
every respect he will worthily rank
with those other great leaders Of
democracy whose achievements make
brighter and more glorious the pages
OF American history. These are some
OF the reasons why am for him and
why the American people are for him
