ton upon any part Of the American
people.

ing, independence of action, oppor-
tunity for service and honor.

"I have observed the burdens and
responsibilities of the greatest Of
flee in the world. That Office
touches the happiness of every
home. 1t deals with the peace OF
nations. No man could think Of
it except in terms Of solemn conse-
Grafton.
This convention has affirmed the
principles of our party and defined
its policies.

obedience to law which is essential
assurance of a life of our institu-

righteousness in government and
business confirm the confidence of
the people in their institutions and

leadership in answer to these ques-

spring symbol of all that is high-
est in Americas purposes and ideals.
IF elected by my fellow country
