I am trying to defend my State. I am trying to defend its industries. I have the conviction that there is only one way in which we can continue the standard of wage which is enjoyed by the 48.000.000 toilers of this Nation. maintaining them far beyond the standard of living of the European or the Asiatic. As long as I am in public life. as long as I have the opportunity to vote in this body or any other body. it will be my great aim and my greatest ambition to protect the toilers of the State of West Virginia in the tinplate. the pottery. the china. the glass. and the chemical and other industries of that great. growing State.
