was attended by 500 men. An ADDRESS
was made by A. willis IAehtbourn. which for sound
Republican doctrines and thorough-going American
sentiment was a model Of It's kind. He said in part
81 am a Republican because like TO know what
am voting for and that is thing Democratic
voters do not know. The Democratic party never
had platform long enough to get acquainted with IT,
In its whole history It has been party OF decepuoh
false lights and trickery. Republican need never
be in doubt about what he IS voting for For uir'y
years the Republican party has published Its platform
and acted upon IT, until 1t has become crystalzed IN
the statutory laws OF the Nation The Republican party
has wrought out the great fundamental principles OF
our Constitution. It's provisions have been inter-
preted by this party. All Of the laws OF the NaVoh
are the offspring OF this party or have been adop'eu
N It's children The history Of the Republican party
Is the history Of the Nation.
"Seveny years after the Constitution OF the Uniteo
States was adopted there many conflicting parties
In the Nation Up TO 1860 the great questions OF the
Nation had not been decided satisfactorily solved
Currency slavery notification and all the great
questions that agtated the country in It's earlier years
were yet unsOlved. But when the Repuohcan party
seized the rens of the Government 1t grappied win
these problems and settled them satisfactorily we
hear no more about slavery, nullhcation secession
and all those great problems that racked the NINA
~ the voter prior to 1860. want men to vote with
the Republican party not because OF personal or any
other interest but because they love the principles
for which the party stands. Men should vote the
Republican ticket because 1t represents American
sentiments II IS the duty OF every Republican 10 De
of positive opinions lie should know exactly why
he IA a Republican. The first great principle OF the
Republican party is Protection. What Is the hrst
great principle OF fe9 selfpreservation; and self
preservation Is Protection. We find the prh
ciple Of Protection permeating every phase ana
stratum of life. The house that man bulds
up around him is built mp on the principle OF ITO
lection When man locks his front door at niSht
II Is on the principle OF Protecton and every man
respects that principle. We the great principles OF
protection exempfed In the great legal b'warks that
have been built up to protect ourselves, our property
and our rights. so 1t IS with the Nation Nation
that does protect the rights OF Its subjects Is NOT
worthy Of the The man who throws open MS
doors to all and SAYS come in to everybody Is not
worthy of the name. That is the principle OF Free
Trade So we that the first law OF the physical
National business and every other life IS Protection.
iqea"We have put beside Protection. Reciprocity pnt
Reciprocity is by means mild form OF free laue'
as some Democrats wClld have us believe You can
have no Reciprocity without Protection hIS'' lou
cannot rccprocate when you have no advantage over
YOUR neigfbor The Republicans believe In building
fence around the country u keep out all nndes
able vicious or evil ntruders. But II some othcr
nation has something that we cannot produce our
selves and would like TO have, we say 10 UNIT ia
