 T do not think that this country will forget the record made by the present administration. l do not think that any man will challenge that more constructive legislation, he1pful to American people, has been put upon the statute books than by the present administration. the rural credits bill, the Federal reserve act and great child laboN laws"

 Quoting the changes Of sentiment from Hughes to Wilson as indicated by the betting, the straw votes and the open statements of all classes of people as indicated throughout the country, he predicted that labor would stand for Wilson as a unit at the polls. G

Gentle men, we will honor ourselves, more than we will honor him in sending him to the United States Senate.
