The Paramount Duty Of Maintaining Public Order

The Admitted Right Of A Government To Prevent The Influx Of Elements Hostile To Its Internal Peace And Security May Not Be Questioned, Even Where There Is Not Treaty Stipulation On The Subject.

Sometimes I Wake At Night In The White House And Rub My Eyes And Wonder If It Is Not All A Dream.

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.

Unswerving Loyalty To Duty, Constant Devotion To Truth, And A Clear Conscience Will Overcome Every Discouragement And Surely Lead The Way To Usefulness And High Achievement.

I Mistake The American People If They Favor The Odious Doctrine That There Is No Such Thing As International Morality; That There Is One Law For A Strong Nation And Another For A Weak One.
