Whatever You Do, Tell The Truth.

In The Scheme Of Our National Government, The Presidency Is Preeminently The People's Office.

Though The People Support The Government; The Government Should Not Support The People.

I Believe That The Public Temper Is Such That The Voters Of The Land Are Prepared To Support The Party Which Gives The Best Promise Of Administering The Government In The Honest, Simple, And Plain Manner Which Is Consistent With Its Character And Purposes. They Have Learned That Mystery And Concealment In The Management Of Their Affairs Cover Tricks And Betrayal. The Statesmanship They Require Consists In Honesty And Frugality, A Prompt Response To The Needs Of The People As They Arise, And A Vigilant Protection Of All Their Varied Interests.

When More Of The People's Sustenance Is Exacted Through The Form Of Taxation Than Is Necessary To Meet The Just Obligations Of Government And Expenses Of Its Economical Administration, Such Exaction Becomes Ruthless Extortion And A Violation Of The Fundamental Principles Of Free Government.

Under Our Scheme Of Government The Waste Of Public Money Is A Crime Against The Citizen.
