to radicalism is not reaction; it is a steady, forward moving, progressive lib eralisH in governmental policy, and an honest, just and sympathetic adminis- tratiOn of governmental affairs.
 There are some classes of buSi-

 riOusly diminished under a demo-
 cratic administration. There will

 their value. No government license
 will be issued to any man or set
 of men to levy tribute on their
 fellow citizens.
 Prosperity is legimate aim when it means the properity of the nation as a whole and not a false prosperity be- slowed upon a few in the fond hope that they, in turn, will make distribution to the many. Economic welfare is proper subject for governmental concern, pro- vided it is not degraded to the level of scramble for advantage and a contest in self-seeking. Stability in government is thing greatly to be desired when it rests on the broad basis of equal and exact justice to all men. It is dearly bought when it is purchased at the price of suppressing free opinion; com promising with wrong or clinging with reactionary zeal to ideas and policies that have outlived their usefulness. :,
 "I am not without great ambition for my party. I shall rejoice when it is called again to the service of the nation and given an opportunity to carry out the policies it has espoused. l wish to see it lead once more the forward march along the pathway illuminated by our ancient lights but I would not have it sell any portion of it's birth right or purchase office at the price of any promises it was unable to unwilling or ashamed to perform. As the only instru- ment through which any change can be effected at this time, it has the right to demand and expect the free and volun. tary support of all who are dissatisfied with existing conditions and hope for their improvement.
 No Chance For Third Party
 "No third party can cherish the re- motest hope for success in this election. Those who give themselves to voting for its candidates must realize that in do- ing so they register futile protest, but nothing more. If they are earnest in their desire for reform they must seek reform where it can be had.
 With confidence that the call will not not be made in vain, 1 appeal to the conscience of the country to guide it's judgment in this hour. Those whose sole reliance is in the power of material things mistake the temper of America for, whatever cyncism may say or think, money is not the idol that rules the American heart. Justice and right and fair dealing with equality before the law still have power when lifted up to draw all men unto them"
 The candidate spent a busy day al his campaign headquarters, slipping out between conferences to address a wo mems luncheon meeting and later g gathering of college men. He also greet ed a delegation of prominent Jews headed by Nathan Strauss.
 Message To Jews
 To Mir. Strauss and associates, Mir Davis said he should like the Jews oi America to believe in my friendship to ward them and that l, want to serve with them as a soldier in the ranks to wards the preservation of the American ideals that we all revere.'
 Mir. Davis also reiterated to the dele gation his position regarding "discordan racial and religious groups"
 "Jf the time ever comes" he said,
 "when we are separated as a people
 into discOrdant racial and religious
 groups, of course our position will | be more than unhappy; it will be desperate; and know of no people
 that I think do more to prevent
 that sort of thing than the religion
 that you represent.
