Public officers are the servants and agents of the people, to execute the laws which the people have made.

Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust.

Communism is a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and organized government.

What do you imagine the American people would think of me if I wasted my time going to the ball game?

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.

Our citizens have the right to protection from the incompetency of public employees who hold their places solely as the reward of partisan service.
