laration" with his idea Of what service
to the people consists and outlined his
policy in the event of his election to the
Senate.
I'm order that the people may rule.
through their official representatives, 1t
is essential thst such representatives as
certain what the people want, and In or
der to do this, he must ascertain OF
course what the majority wants, since
this Government is supposed to be run by
majority rule" he said.
I'm the event Of my election to the Sen
ate, il will be my ambition to ascertain.
IL possible, the will Of the majority.
When that is once ascertained. whatever

clude to send me there.
PLEDGES SINCERE
EFFORT TO SERVE
az shall studiously seek to determine
the things that will count for most for
the people of this country and advocate
the measures that will bring this to pass,
whether the people have instructed me
thereon or not. In other words, II shall
be my ambition to serve all the people
to the highest purpose possible, without
regard to religious creed or party nffiIia-
ton The man who differs from me on
religious questions or party principles
will be given the same open minded and
conscientious consideration. when he has
a matter to present to me, will the
man with whom I am In harmony on
all questions. Anything short of this
course, on the part of an official, WILL

jects of our scheme of government.
I'm free and representative govern
ment, like ours, it is most essential that
officials and fhe people do teamwork. Il
is only by such policy that the great

country, and 1 think this fact is becom-

derstood. We are not living unto our
selves as one people as we formerly did
in the early days OF our Republic. The
world has grown, and to keep pace with
this growth we have had 10 extend our
vision upward and outward.
URGES NATIONS TO
BE NEIGHBORLY.
IT have been advocating, ever since the
close of the war. the Importance of this
country proceeding. without delay, to
establish a workable relationship along
commercial lines with foreign nations.
The party In power has apparently been
Indifferent to the necessity Of advocating
such policy. The party in power has
been inclined to live the life Of recluse
and not TO touch elbows Or strike palms
with the rest of the world. This Is a
short-sighted policy and. in the end, will
result in disaster to our country.
Il was most highly gratifed to see that
the recent convention OF credit men, held
at Indianapolis. went on record favorin 2
n closer relationship between this and
other countries. and that this country
proceed 10 open mp ways to foreign mar
kets with the countries across the seas.
This convention very aptly pointed out
that we cannot enjoy the markets Of for
,eign nations unless we make it possible
for those nations to trade with us. In
other words, we are not going in the di-
