In these pages the people of this land can read 

 the thoughts that have been spun out by his brain 

 during the last eighteen years, and can see what 

 manner of man he is. They believe him to be hon- 

 est, fearless, straightforward, a tireless worker, ex- 

 perienced in the administration of city, State, and 

 national affairs, a careful student and writer of his 

 country's history, an American in every fibre, a man 

 who holds his life at his country's service whenever 

 a war is on during his lifetime. In reading these 

 books their belief in him will be justified and con- 

 firmed.
