War Is At Best Barbarism.

If Nominated, I Won't Run; If Elected, I Won't Serve.

War's Legitimate Object Is More Perfect Peace.

If Nominated By Either Party, I Should Peremptorily Decline, And Even If Unanimously Elected, I Should Decline To Serve.

I Know I Had No Hand In Making This War, And I Know I Will Make More Sacrifices To-day Than Any Of You To Secure Peace.

In Our Country... One Class Of Men Makes War And Leaves Another To Fight It Out.
