Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of Joseph Benson Foraker, 1883: With an Appendix It is said with reference to the duty of citizens at the polls, "Principles and not men;" and, again, that only the character of candidates for office is to be considered. Is not the true maxim, "Men, and also principles?" We have in Judge Foraker, both the noble, pure and patriotic man, and sound and well-tried principles. Nothing from his birth has been suggested that needs defense or apology. Hon. B. Butterworth says of him: "He is a man without a flaw in intellect or morals. I would trust him with my dearest interests. If I lay on my death-bed and J. B. Foraker took my hand and said, ´I will look after your little ones,´ I should be entirely satisfied. I know him to be afraid of but one thing - to do wrong." Foraker´s opponent, Judge Hoadley, admits the very temperate and pure mode of life of the Republican candidate for Governor. He says "J. B. Foraker ain´t the man who would ever say a thing which he was conscious was untrue," even in politics. Judge Foraker, at fourteen years of age, while on the farm, became a communicant of the church, and so continues. His piety is not ostentatious, but quiet and modest. He courts not business nor promotion by his religious association, nor by any connection with any society whatever. Foraker´s Nomination. Judge Foraker´s nomination was not of the ordinary political sort. It was without the usual political conferences. It was without effort upon his part. He did not seek it. He did not even desire it. The Enquirer said of Foraker, "He is not an office-seeker." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
