had more fundamental problems to
solve than now. To perpetuate a race
that is unable to grapple with it's
problems is reprehensible.
But character is essential to mar
riage. Without it the preceding eIe-
ments are usually impossible. Grim
inals. drunkards and debauchees should
not for social reasons be permitted to
perpetrate their kind. Sincerity and
reverence are the basis of all charac-
ter, right living and true affection.
Without these there cannot be that
reverence for personality which is SO
essential in the home.
Yet two persons might possess all
. these elements and still should not be
married. There should be that strong
attraction which we call conjugal af-
fectiOn. When two healthy, thought
full, pure and reVerent persons, after
thorough acquaintanCeship, feel that
the world Of life has it's center and
meaning for them in this relationship
and that they are willing to leave all
others and cleaVe to each other, then
in founding q new home they are car
rying out the purpose of marriage.

as the Governor hangs TO the one direct

jects 10.
There rs not the slightest chance OF
my changing my position on the Gov

vision abolishing the state convention.

Deliberation is essential TO wise choice
Of a candidate for Governor. judge OF the
