I'm regard to woman suffrage. !
always had insisted that woman's
duty as a voter would not interfere
with her domestic duties any more
than II docs with y mans business.
There are rome fool men who neglect
their business for politics ami ! sup
pose there will be some feminine
fools Of the same kind. God made
average man and womnn's first duty

ond.
There has been n great deal OF
talk about political parties getting
together. They can get together any
time they wish by joining us. hut
they must adopt all OF our principles
even the Judiciary plank in our plat
form. II has been said that I have
condemned Judges. I never have
done anything OF the kind. I never
used anything like the Language
which Abraham Lincoln used In crit
icizing the United States supreme
court. believe judges are high
class of public servants. but don't
believe In the right Of any public
servant to become a public master.
| "Tf an executive does not do what
the people want him to. II we don't
get the laws we want we should
have the initiative and referendum
to give us the desired relief. We
intend to do injustice to no man.
1--WE are the only party that has
adopted q rational plan for handling
both big and little business. we
don't believe in strong line business
I'VE favor a policy that will com
/ pel business to serve the public moi
swindle it. Our wish is to supply
the principles OF Abraham Lincoln
to the issues Of the present day.
