This is my state and your state.
everything that I have is wrapped
In its future. Our interests are the
same. Any law passed BY ngres
n any law which will benefit you
will benefit me. Since the league
leaders with their false THEORIES Of
government came into the state in
1918, / have battled as best l could
IN. the legislature and on the public
platform against these theories. In
every act. In every vote. in every
word, party S1ineS have been disre-
garded and want you to know. that

sizes during the past six years. Many

happiness destroyed. Can we not
come together as citizens Of a grea,
republic without malice and with
moderation In the spirit that the
Great Master of mankind would have
his children assemble to build and
not destroy?
