think of that for leaders? What do you think of their Commander-in-Chief? They haven’t paid him a cent for seven years. They made him pay his own railroad fare from Detroit here today. They made him pay his own hotel bill. They don’t give him a nickel for being their leader. But I’ll tell you what they do give him. They give him their love and respect and that is worth more than all the wealth of the world.
 I don’t care about money. The financiers found that out during the War. I don’t need anything anyway except a bite to eat, a place to sleep and a few rags to wear.
 Now, people it would take too long to tell you what I want to, so I will have to stop talking for today, but I hope you will study this subject for yourselves and help us win the battle for the people against the finan­ciers. You will then be doing something for yourselves, for your children, for your parents, for your country, for humanity and for God.
 I’ll fight for your weak children. I’ll fight for your feeble old folks. I’ll fight for your loved ones after you are dead and gone. Now, you show your wives and your parents and your sweethearts and your children that you, too, are going to join Lawson, to fight for them and you'll feel wonderfully strong and happy forever afterwards.
