whole nation.
"A cabinet chosen from the ablest
Americans.
"A foreign policy that stands cour-
teously but firmly for American
rights.
"A flag that protects the American
in his lawful rights wherever his
legitimate business may take him.
A preparation for trade COMPETE
ton which shall protect all groups Of
American workmen.
"A government oversight Of bust
ness which will fearlessly eliminate
abuses, but will act on the assump-
ton that the average business man Is
honest
And finally domestic policy
which looks to industrial peace. and
to sound and permanent prosperity
based upon the development OF Amer
lean trade and the building up of Am

I'VE Americans are in one boat.
You cannot strike a blow at one
group without injury to ALL Com
mon justice and fair play will settle
our difficulties If suspicion and bit
terness are let alone. These are the
prineinles by which l propose to be
