khow you want me to say some
thing and yet upon such an oc-
casion as this it would be un-
So, mly for me to speak in a partl-
san manner. But it occurs to me
that there is one subject which may
be called political and yet is
thoroughly nonpartisan subject
upon which all good citizens, what
ever may be their party, must agree

grown this evil among the poiit

Europe Crushed by DcmagOgucry
Il have recently returned fror

tlated industry and human sufferin
he effects of five years of dema
Gogic political app eals ito the pas
sicns and prejudices of the dlfreren
peoples as distinguished from al
pcals to their reason and commo
sense. To the very brink of tn
abyss has Europe been brought b
this method of treating scriou
questions, involving great elem nt;
and economic principles. To saw
. herself she has abandoned the dem;
gogue and returned to commo
sense.
An orgy Of demagoguery ha
been running rife in the world an

feeling its devastating effects. A
good Republicans and all good Demo
Gratis who put their country abo,
their party demand the beginning {
an era of common sense in publ
discussions.
"As human beings whatever ma
be our party, we are bound to di

citizens we can unite to demar
from those who represent us
political debate that they presel
our differences honestly and fro
the - standpoint of truth-not fro
the standpoint of passion and pr

''In the campaign which is b.

citizens of the United States,
pledge myself to adhere to the tru,
and to the common sense conclusion
