Even if you were defeated, I should still congratulate you on putting a Presidential campaign on a higher level than it has ever before reached since Washington's time.

Your grip became firmer and your sweep wider every week.

It was inspiring to watch the unfolding of the deep meaning of it and to see the people's grasp of the main idea.

It was fairly, highly, freely, won, and now we enter the Era of Great Opportunity.

It is hard to measure the extent or the thrill of the new interest in public affairs and the new hope that you have aroused in thousands of men who were becoming hopeless under the long-drawn-out reign of privilege.
To the big burden of suggestions that you are receiving, may I add these small ones?
