very much :, I'd will have been ,ttainel This
question OF smaller banks nearer the people Is
not small one, however much the large money
centers may decry IT. The views which are
given are my own and neither the republican
party nor any faction in 1t can be held respon-
sible for them
As the republican party is the only one that
has ever been able to legislate successfully for
the American laborer, has the time not come
Tor IL TO consider whether II can not do so still
for the benefit Of the business welfare and
social life Of the great masses
The league clubs could find more interest
ing or profitable question to discuss or investi-
gate than the cooperative system. Factories
OF all kinds, dairies, farms and banks are test
ing II and find increased profits to themselves
as well as larger rewards to their employees.
Arbitration and concilia ion should be encour
aged Another theme for discussion is the
growing question Of better roads in America
and still another, the political rights of women.
No subject could be interes ting for invest
igation and discuss IN than this.
Let us make door so open and so wide that
every voter may come in. Let US strike down
and repudiate any aristocracy or action or
prejudice Of action as was shown in the course
of socialpoltical club in New York few
weeks ago in refusing admission to a splendid

| prejudice. hope to see this convention while
| standing bravely for the spirit OF Americanism

the gates of the republican party wide enough
