of tho people against the domination of selfish and commercial influences in the affairs of government and in the domination of parties? The improper use of money in politics presents a problem as broad and deep and vital as representative democracy itself and the people know it A ight for ree Government fencing will not satisfy them Purity of the ballot and in tegrity of officials are the beginning and the end of popular government Without these the people are dis franchised sooner or later become the victims of exploitation and op pression and this they know The fight for clean government is a figlit for free government This the people perfectly understand "The issue is here tl is a noto rious fact that the officials of great cities who hold in their keeping the decency and health of millions of men and women and children go into partnership with crime and lawless ness It is now notorious that the governors of gregat states trusted ex ecutives of graet states executives of great and noble commonwealths barter their state's honor for a few paltry dollars that men high in the federal government consort with those

upon how we propose to meet it Timidity has no place in such a fight Silence is accessory after the crime Retention of corrupt funds while talking about clean politics is an insult to the intelligence of the voter We need not have the least uneasiness about support from the people They will respond to any sincere and fearless effort to lift the Republican party to the level of the demands of the hour questions and problems of this day which now confront the party are no less vital no less command ing than lhe questions and problems of former days The voters the rank and file of the party are no less in telligent no less devoted to wise measures and good government The issues are before us the people await their presentation The times and the occasion persist for great causes And it is my judgment that the future of the Republican party Is merely a test of leadership The perils of political parties ordinarily lie not among the voters and the people but are found in the organizations anl among the leaders "Opinions alter times change material issues come and co but the moral law and the great fundamental principles of right and decency' do not change they still have their place in the purposes and Plans and hearts and minds of the American people would not overlook the great questions which make for our material welfare Our tax laws our revenue laws economy in govern ment the rehabilitation of the farm the control of our rivers the staying of the growth of bureaucracy arbi trary! as ascism demoralizing as Communism the conservation of the nation's natural wealth coal oil power all these are of great moment and of great in tereset to the Ameri can people "But I would place above them all in the platform and in the program and in the purposes of the party as first in
