Therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.
I will accept the nomination for President if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference.
