Of men. He was away on his vacation,
but heard Charles Stewart preach
and say this without any comment.

did not meet son.
had the pleasure Of going to the
Office Of Col. Roscoe Conklin Sim

charge Of the speakers and writers
for the coming campaign OF the G. o.

have discovered that this is a cold
business world. 1t IS not asking me
now about my father or mother or
what they could do. whether or not

they belong. but it is demanding right
from the shoulder to know who 4 am
and if / cannot measure up to the
Standard Of man and stand on my
own feet in my own number Us, then
/ must stand aside, and let man
step to the front. In the same light
] am now looking for man. one who
stands out as a real man, one who
win do the right thing and when It
comes to president want one who
will be president Of all America and
