I hate to use the patronage as a club unless I have to.

As the Republican platforms says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country.

I am in favor of helping the prosperity of all countries because, when we are all prosperous, the trade with each becomes more valuable to the other.

The trouble with me is that I like to talk too much.

We are all imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.

Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
