mitted to the Union.''
Mr. Beveridge began his speech with
declaration of his and as follows:
Upon this rock take my stand:
Equal rights for all, special privi-
lege for none; honorable friendship
for every nation, no political connec-
ton with any nation; government of,
for and by the people-all of the peo-
pie, not merely some of the people;
maintenance of American Institutions
all American institutions, not merely
some American institutions"
Sets Forth Greed
My political creed,'' continued Mr..
Beveridge. is the faith of our faith
ers." | stand for the American con-
stitution and every article of it. I
stand for freedom of speech and press
as firmly as for protection of property
and life all of which the constitution
guarantees. l stand for the largest
possible commercial, financial and So
cial intercourse with the whole world
which we always have had and now
have more than ever before; and no
political meddling whatever in foreign
troubles. plots and ambitions-political
interference in foreign broils retards
instead of promotes sound foreign ac-
tivities.''
Other Salient Points
Other salient points in Mr.. Bever-
idge's address were:
"Whomsoever you choose as your
senator, send him to Washington a
living man, free to do his utmost for
all of you, instead OF shipping mum
my, wrapped about and embalmed by
The whims of some of you.
"A Republican congress and presi-
dent have already saved nearly $4,000
100000, the expenditures of which, af-
ter the war was over, was called for
by the plans of the old regime. then,
as now, afflicted with billionitis and
wastephobia.
ITO open American markets to for
eign-made goods and attempt the cap
ture of European markets by Ameri-
can-made goods means we will give
our markets to European producers
and not get European markets for
American goods.
Olc vi luS USol VI lut IlS-
publican tariff law just enacted is its
lexibility-it authorizes the president
to alter rates whenever conditions re
quire changes to be made.
Too Much Legislation
''The curse of the times is the craze
for legislation.

tried to run the American government
and | would have fought banded labo!
when it tried to run the American
government.
You can pass all the laws you like
