candidate
New York State is one Of the last
states IN the Union TO capitulate In the
present-day demand for popular rule In

everything In my power TO carry out this
solemn pledge. Every official in the state
elected on that platform should uphold
my efforts to redeem the pledge and keep
faith with the voters
