Hays says: "What wc need in this country is not 'less politics,' but more attention to politics. If the citizens of the counry perform a citizen's duty and 'interest themselves sufficiently In the | politics of the nation, the right prin- I | cipies will be practiced and able and I ! conbeientious candidates elected. I { "It seems passing strange, Indeed, \ that it should be necessary to urge [ men in this country to exercise the | full privilege of real liberty. Yet such is the case,- because they | imagine they are either too busy or too good to take part in politics. I have no use for the man who is eith er 'too busy' ,or 'too proud' to Interest himself In politics. H is riding an another's ticket. * "What I urge above all things else is the fullest jprtlclpatlon of our splendid citizenship In the actual j politics of the country. Let this be so : and any evils that may exist or which I may hereafter arise, will be | lived, indeed."
