PARAGRAPHS FROM HODGSON
SPEECH AT FAIRMONT

State government must not be an i'm
personal machine, but must be moved
by human impulses, and human sym
pathies.
There can be no unity worth while
unless the ideal Of common citizenship
is greater than the ideal Of class dis
tinction.
A political campaign does not JUS
tify tactics which would not be regard
ed as decent in the other relationships
of life.
+ A political campaign should revolve
around principles and not around per
'eonal ambitions.
No achievement can endure which
does not serve men.
Why should a government not ca
slider it honorable to seek not merely
the approval Of mems minds, but the
affection Of their heartsi
