land, Ore. to rest over Sunday, make
several speeches in Portland on Mon
day and then travel eastward to Salt
Lake City before turning westward
again toward San Francisco
In his discussion here Of radicalism.
the governor said:
81 hold that in the United States
there is no call for extreme radical
ism. Government must never be at
the mercy of a lower nor an upper
mob, hut government must always
be kept responsible to the will of the
people. If government is fair. then
there will be no special privilege and
certainly no unfair advantage of any
one. There will be neither exploita-
ton of the worker nor injustice to the
employer. Just as surely as the
pendulum swings to the extreme right
IN favoritism and unfair privilege
there is certain to result a swing to
the extreme left Of radcalism with a
smash. Il is the purpose Of govern
ment in democracy to hold the scales
Of justice true. TO give every person
Of every class and kind equal oppor-
tunity 10 achieve and to acquire hap
uiness. In this way only tie orderly
process of government command the
respect and obedience Of all and in
this way only will the country be
safeguarded from destruction on the
one hand or exploitation on the other.
! hold 20 the ideal Of Lincoln govern
ment of the people, for the people.
and by the people.
