I Am Loaded Down To The Guards

The Real Difficulty Is With The Vast Wealth And Power In The Hands Of The Few And The Unscrupulous Who Represent Or Control Capital. Hundreds Of Laws Of Congress And The State Legislatures Are In The Interest Of These Men And Against The Interests Of Workingmen. These Need To Be Exposed And Repealed. All Laws On Corporations, On Taxation, On Trusts, Wills, Descent, And The Like, Need Examination And Extensive Change. This Is A Government Of The People, By The People, And For The People No Longer. It Is A Government Of Corporations, By Corporations, And For Corporations.

My Judgment Is That Neither House Of Congress, Nor Both Combined, Have Any Right To Interfere In The Count. It Is For The Vice-president To Do It All.... There Should Be No Compromise Of Our Constitutional Rights.

Every Age Has Its Temptations, Its Weaknesses, Its Dangers. Ours Is In The Line Of The Snobbish And The Sordid.

It Is The Desire Of The Good People Of The Whole Country That Sectionalism As A Factor In Our Politics Should Disappear.

In The Great And Deep Qualities Of Mind, Heart, And Soul, There Is No Change. Homer And Solomon Speak To The Same Nature In Man That Is Reached By Shakespeare And Lincoln. But In The Accidents, The Surroundings, The Change Is Vast. All Things Now Are Mobile--movable.
