We must make a fair ana
wise readjustment of the tariff, in ac-
cordance with our protective princi-
ples, to insure our economic independ-
ence and to maintain American- stand-
ards of living. We must conserve the
just interest of labor, realizing that in
democracy, patriotism and national
strength must be rooted in even-hand-
ed justice. In preventing, as we must,
unjust discriminations and monopolis-
tic practices, we must still be zealous
to assure the foundations of honest
business. Particularly should we seek
the expansion of foreign trade. We
must not throttle American enterprise
here or abroad, but rather promote it
and take pride in honorable achieve-
ments. We must take up the serious
problems of transportation of inter-
state and foreign commerce in a sen-
sible and candid manner, and provide
an enduring basis for prosperity by the
intelligent use of the constitutional
powers of congress, so as adequately
to protect the public on the one hand
and on the other to conserve the essen-
tial irAtrumentalities of progress.
“I stand for the principles of our
civil service laws. In 'every depart-
ment of government the highest ef-
ficiency must be insisted upon. For
all laws and programs are vain with-
out efficient and impartial adminis-
tration.
Fully Indorses Platform.
“I can not, within the limits of this
statement, speak upon all the sub-
jects that will require attention. I
can only say that I fully indorse the
platform you have adopted.
“I deeply appreciate the responsibil-
ity you impose. I should have been
glad to have that responsibility placed
upon another. But I shall undertake
to meet it, grateful for the confidence
you express. I sincerely trust that all
former differences may be forgotten
and that we may have united effort in
a patriotic realization of our national
need and opportunity.
“I have resigned my judicial office
and am ready to devote myself unre-
servedly to the campaign.
