Franklin Knight Lane

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

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

I have hardly seen my baby for six weeks; have been at the office from nine A.M. to eleven P.M. regularly.

I am not the flag: not at all. I am but its shadow.

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.

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

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

Newspaper men, perhaps more than any other class, are rated by ability.
