Americans"

ters he said he had received since
the election and since he had an
nounced that he would not again be
a candidate for public office, the gov

to lose interest in the democratic
party.
He said he did not regard the de-
feat of his party as interesting with
the soundness of the principles for
which it stood and that with all the
vigor he could command he would
continue not only to stand for those
principles but to 'battle for them. .
He added a pledge of increasing in
terest in and devotion to them.
The governor called the democrat

the nation" leading progressive thot
and holding out the "only hope OF
return to the fundamental principles
on which this country was built anc

and thrived."
'To the young men and women .o1
