They demonstrated not only willing ness, but capacity. They helped win the war, and they are entitled to the privilege of voting as matter of right and because they will be helpful in maintaining wholesome and patriotic policy. It requires but one more state to ratify the national amendment and thus bring long-delayed justice. have the same earnest hope as our platform expresses that some one of the remaining states will promptly take favorable action.
 Education.
 "There must be an awakened inter- est in education. The assumption that things are all right Is an error. The plain fact reveals two startling things, one, a growing decimatiOn in the ranks of teachers and the other, the existence of five and One-half millions Hitter ates. The army of instructors has been more or less demoralized through financial temptation from other activi- ties which pay much better. We owe too much to the next generation to be remiss in this matter.
 Campaign Contributions.
 "There will be no attempt in this campaign to compete by dollars with our opposition. So many people have been in the money gathering bus. ness for the reactionary cause that the millions already in hand are more or less matter of general informa- tion. ' All that we ask is that both parties deal In the utmost good faith with the electorate and tell the plain truth as to the amounts received, the contributors, and the items of dis bursements
 1.-The sort of readjustment which will appeal to our self-respect and ultimate ly to our general prosperity, Is the honest readjustment.

The natural impulse Is to forget the past to develop new interests, to create a refreshenej and refreshing atmosphere in life. We want to for get war and be free from the troubling thought of It's possibility in the future We want change from the old world of yesterday where international in- trigue made people mere pawns on the CheSS-board of war We want change from the old industrial world where the man who tOiled was assured a full dinner pail as his only lot and portion. But how are we to make the change? Which way shall we go? We stand at the forks of the road and must choose which to follow. One leads to a higher citizenship, freer expression of the individual and a fuller life for all The other leads to reaction, the rule of the few over the many and the restriction of the average mans chances to grow upward Cunning de- vices backed by unlimited prodigal ex- penditures will be used to confuse and to lure. But I have an abiding faith that the pitfalls will be avoided and the right road chosen.
 ''The leaders opposed to Democracy promise to put the country back to normal This can only mean the so- called normal of former reactionary administrations, the outstanding fea- ture of which was pittance for farm produce and a small wage for a long day of labor. My vision does not turn backward to the normal desired by the senatorial oligarchy, but to . future in which all shall have normal to cultivate higher stat ure amidst better environment than that of the past Our view Is toward the sunrise of tomorrow with its progress and it's eternal promise of better things. The opposition stands in the skyline of the setting sun, look ing backward, to the old days of re action
