 I'm in this movement" he said, be cause 1t comes from the pearts and con- science of the people. 1t springs from the growing belief that the government has not represented the people as 1t should. There Is always certain type of man who asks why the thing that was good enough for his father Is not good enough for us The answer is that while principles remain the same the application of them changes from generation to gen. eration."
