 Sense of Public Duty
 In the discharge of my official
 duty I shall endeavor to be guid;
 ed by a just and unrestrained con
 struction of the Constitution and
 the laws of the State. and admin
 ister those functions especially
 assigned to the executive branch
 of the government without
 thought of fear or favor.
 I believe it is the duty of those
 serving the people in public plac.
 es to closely limit public expen-
 diture to the actual needs of the
 State; our rights to extract tri-
 bute from the earnings of labor
 and the property of the citizen
 is based upon the implied con
 tract that there must be a full
 measure of return for every dol

 Competency the Matchword
 The people of this State have de handed reform in the administration of government and the application of sound business principles to public affairs.
 Our citizens have the right to pro lection from the incompetency of pub lie employees who receive appoint .nents and hold their position! through relationship or as a reward If partisan service. Consideration Ihould be given those who worthily seek employment. having merit anC ability instead of political subservien y and family ties.
 Those who are selected for a limit d time to manage public affairs are still of the people. and may do much by their example to promote integri ty and honest respect for those laws having to do with the improvement and betterment of our social, physi cal ana moral welfare.

The mass es of our people are better fed, colth ed and housed than ever before. The facilities for education have beel vastly enlarged and more general, dfffused. The influence of religion has been multiplied and strengthened The virtue of temperance is held il higher estimation. We have not at tained an ideal condition. Not all ou people are happy, virtuous and law abiding, but on the whole, the Oppor tunities offered to the individual ti secure the comforts of life are better than are found elsewhere. I lool hopefully to a continuance of and ma terial increase in our prosperity and the consequent development of ou
 anufacturiDg and mining enterpris es. linking them with rail transpOrta ton to our agricultural districts giv ing to the whole a potent influence in the perfect unification of our people Those who have invested their capital n these various enterprises, the farm CTS who have felt their benefit, and hose who work in the mine. the shop, pr field. will not fail to find and to defend a community of interest Business and social intercourse Is re- ealing the necessary unity of all our communities and prompting our peo- pie to mutual respect and co-opera ton.
 Labor and Capital
 A due regard for the interests and future prosperity of all the people aud a full development of our industrial and natural resources demand the es- tablishment or correct principles in our economic laws and a better under standing between Labor and Capital. This great problem is charged with great difficulties and one which is of highest importance to solve on lines of common sense and a devotion to the right. We are living today in an age of federation and combination. Business men find they must work through corporations, laboriug men find it necessary to work in fedora ton. and both have become factors of modern industrial life. Both kinds Of federation, capitalistic and labor, can do much good: likewise they can do
