It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles.
Character must show itself in the man's performance both of the duty he owes himself and of the duty he owes the State.
I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole.
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.
