"In the dark days of Valley Forge when America's enemies quartered In the nation's capltol were wrapped In warmth and fed with plenty; when faint heart and lory plotted against the commander-in-chief. George Wash iuglon walked from tent to hut where bleeding fool marked their patrol cheering his patriot army.

Never before was I so stirred by ut terance from human lips. Through de feat he has continued earnestly and lovingly to serve the American peo ple. Be it said to his honor and glory, he never deserted his party nor the people because they refused to crown him king.' He is strong with the American people, because his character is of firm; rugged honesty. A great orator has well said: "Honest,- is the oak around which all oth er 'virtues cling, without that they fall and grovelling, die in weeds and dust.' The paths of his life have been crowded with vast power, responsi bility and opportunity, yet no stain has ever followed his footsteps; his pure, clean hands have never been soiled by the betrayal of public or private trust. The American people listen to him because he Is an honest, nlain-suoken Cato. who points out and strives to remedy the wrongs and corruptions, and not a mere eloquent, pleasing Cicero to sooth and to glaze over vice and evil. We like to fight under his banner because we know- to him the bugle call to battle and duty Is far more pleasing than the dinner gong Inviting to feast and rev elry. He-Is alike the enemy of pred atory wealth, which seeks to add to Its ill-gotten gains by governmental favors, and perquisites, and of that pernicious system of socialism which seeks to confiscate alike the unjust wealth of the plunderers and honest earnings of the Industrious and fru gal. His Iron will and unflinching courage will. If power be given, pro tect the temple of our government alike from the greedy money-changers and the plundering rabble.
