The governors message is as fol.
lows.
"Friends and Fellow Citizens:
1--WE stand face to lace with a great
decision, a decision which will affect
the whole course of III national life
and our individual fortunes through
out the next generation. We mus
make that decision on the 9Th of No
vember. It cannot be postponed. We
cannot vote without making it, and
if we do not vote those who do will
make it for us.
Next -Four Years to Determine.
1.-The next four years will deter
mine how we are to solve the ques-
ton of the tariff, the question of the
trusts, the question Of the reforma-
ton of our whole banking and cur
rency system, the conservation of our
natural resources and of the health
and vigor of our people, the develop
ment of our means of transportation,
the right application Of u scien-
tifc knowledge to the work and
healthful prosperity of our whole
population, whether in the fields or
in the factories or in the mines, the
firm establishment of a foreign policy
based upon justice and good will
rather than upon mere commercial
exploitation and the selfish interests
of a narrow circle of financiers ex-
tending their enterprises to the ends
of the earth, and the extension of
the assistance of the government to
those many programs of uplift and
betterment to which some of the best
minds of our age have turned with
wise hope and ardor.
There is much to be done, and it
must be done in the right spirit and
in the right way, or it will deepen
our troubles, not relieve them. The
tariff question must be solved in the
interest of those who work and spend
and plan and struggle, those who
are finding a foothold and working
out a career, those who touch the
sources of strength and are quick
with the pulse of a common life, for
the sake of the power that tills the
fields and builds the cities, and not
for the sake of special groups of
men who dominate and control their
fellows and regard the toll of mil
lions of men merely az an opportu-
nifty to make use of their established
advantage
1T must be handled very pru-
IDENTIFY, SO that no honest toll may
be interrupted, no honorable or use
full enterprise disturbed; must be
dealt with by slow stages of we'll
considered change-change whose OBJ
jeot shall be to restore and broaden
opportunity, and destroy nothing but
special privilege and unwholesomc
control. Those who handle it, there
fore, must be men who understand
the general interest and have de-
voted themselves to serving it with
out fear or favor.
Trust Question.
THE trust question must be dealt
with in the same way with this dis
tinct and single program, to destroy
monopoly and to leave business in
tact, to give those who conduct en-
terprise no advantage except that
which comes by efficiency, energy
and sagacity, those only foundations
of honorable wealth, every man re-
vrarded according to his insight and
enterprise and service, his mastery
ir an open field. Currency and bank
ing questions must be discussed and
settled in the interest Of those who
use credit, produce the crops, man
ufacture the goods and quicken the
commerce of the nation rather than

the promoter and the captain of
finance, who if set off by themselves

too easily lost sight wen of their
own intimate and ~inseparable relation
to the general needs and interests
of the rank and file.
Forests must be renewed and
mines and water courses must be
husbanded and preserved, as if we
were trustees for all generations.
1--WE must consider our foreign
policy on the same high principle.
We have become q powerful member
of the great family of nations. The
nations look to us for standards and
policies worthy of America. We must
shape our course of action by the
maxims of justice and liberality and
good will, think Of the progress OF
mankind rather than of the progress
of this or that investment, OF the
protection of American honor and
the advancement of American ideals
rather than always of American con-
tracts, and lift u diplomacy to the
levels of what the best minds have
PLANNED for mankind.
Government for People.
1--WE must devote the power CT the
government to the service of the race
and think at every turn of men and
women and children, of the mora
life and physical force and spiritua.

whom we profess to nave set gov

None of these high things can b,

those who at present exercise power
over us at Washington. No estab.

can be used for such ends. The BLACK
