for our country, wealth must also bear
it's full share of the burden.
The Problems Arising Out of the War.
In order to win the war and for the
future | firmly believe in the neces-
sity for social readjustment wherein
those who toll with hand and brain
shall receive more adequate reward.
To make Democracy in the world
worth dying for we must keep it
worth living for. I stand for all those
great accomplishments and undertake
ings for social and economic progress
which five years of President Wilson's
leadership has given to this Nation;
and will support every measure look
ing to the preservation in permanent
form of those war activities of Gov
eminent which make for greater JUS
tice, and which have been justified by
successful experience. -
For five years l have been asso-
ciated with our great President of the
United States in an effort to preserve
the rights of the producer, the small
business man, and the rights of labor
and thereby maintain industrial
democracy as fact as we'll as name.
These efforts | shall, if elected, renew
in the Senate Of the United States.
Peace.
AS a member of the body which
ratifes treaties, | shall stand for a
peace based upon the principles of
moral equity and Christianity out
lined by the President of the United
States and the spokesman for the hu-
mainly of the world which in super
lative degree represents the ideals and
beliefs not only of the people of my
state but of this nation and all for
ward looking men of the world over.
If commissioned by the people of
my state to represent them in the
senate l shall try at all times to avoid
narrow partisanship and to serve
them in a broadminded public-s spirited
way.
In the name of our common country
and our state in which we take such
pride I ask for the support of every
man regardless Of party or any other
consideration if he believes with me
in these things.
