! The governor said:
The campaign for the presidency of
the United States has now reached the
point where 1t Is possible definitely to
get fair appraisenicnt of the forces that
are aligned on either side hehind- the
candidates. 1t Is well to take stock of
these forces and to assess them at their
real worth patriotic or unpatriotic, to
measure them as history will measure
them and to assay them In the light of
pretensions to a monopoly on Ameri-
Canism.

republican leadership. l assert and so
advise the American people that the
party once led by Al raham Lincoln has
| been sold to these several designing par

| uses to which the republican orEani-
cation has been put that they may re-
| pudiate those who have made of their
temple den of disrepute in the at
| tempt to evade the issue of tho league /
OF nations, and distract the public mind
from our unswcrving support of peace
and progress.
