Franklin Knight Lane

No man should have a political office because he wants a job.

A public office is not a job, it is an opportunity to do something for the public.

My stars and my stripes are your dream and your labors.

For you are the makers of the flag and it is well that you glory in the making.

It is work and personal worth which make a State great both politically and industrially, and in my estimation they are to be found in largest proportions in the Democratic party.
