I remedy that will bear fruit in the inter
est of our whole nation an hundred tola.
This remedy will be applied with all the
rigor which the crimes of the gross of
fenders need and will be administered by
a decree of the whole nation as unani
mous as the verdict of the whole people
who commanded that a great ship canal
shall be built as their contribution to aid
the commerce of the civilized world.
This remedy will be the Shiboleth of ev-
erv nolitical Dartv. A candidate nomi
nated by the influences of the railway
corporations which controlled the action
of one of the leading political parties of
the United States in 1904 will be buried
under an avalanche of national indigna
tion, expressed ot the ballot box in 1908
as emphatically as in 1904.
This' country has learned to do things
without a nolitieal boss. The present
chief magistrate was selected, nominated
and elAtAil in Rnite of nolitical bosses :

The next chief magistrate of the
United States will build, by the authority
of all the people, a doubled tracked rail
road from ocean to ocean and cur whole
nation will dedicate it to its use andjbene-
fit forever.
The States of this Union will build
and operate the feeders to our great
commerical lines, This . nation will
build or charter Bhips to complete the
most perfect system that can be devised
by statesmen for the commerical dis
tribution of -American products as the
crowning glory of a peopte who have
