If a man holds a United States office, his first loyalty should be to his country.” ; There has been voluminous talk in re- cent years about “welfare.” Here is a man smart enough and courageous enough to interpolate the word “general,” as it is written in the Constitution. All the pro- posals of the “welfare state” thus far pro- moted have been in the interest of pres- sure groups and not of the whole people. We are shy about predicting the political fate of Candidate Abbott, but we wish him well and would like to vote for him. eh 9G 70 F-
