Republican Party History.
For forty.two years the genius and
courage and craftsmanship OF this
party has led the advancement to.
ward the glorious destiny that the Re.
public Is bound to achieve. For forty.
two years there has not been Constl. |
tutiOnal amendment to the ConstIt-
ton of the United States. that stands |
for the liberties Of man and for IA
greater measure of equality to ALL that |
stands for the wiping out Of color pref. |
udicc. that stands for equal opportu-
nifty in the affairs OF the world, that |
have not been written by pen of Re.
publican craftsmanship and ratified by |
Republican votes. don't mean to |
say that 1t another party had been In |
power many Of these things would not |
have been done equally as well but |
do say there is not an existing statute |
on the statute books of the United |
States that stands FOR greater Ameri.
can opportunity that stands for the
protection of American citizenship and
guarantees them protection at the
polls Of their country. that has not
been enacted by a Republican Con.
gress and signed by Republican Pres.
idents. The Republican party was
born OF crisis in the affairs OF men.
It was born in a great emergency, that
tried mems souls. 1t was born OF
republican form of government that
stood for the worlds advancement and
for the welfare OF the United States.
Destroyed Race Prejudice.
They saved the Republic. Mother of
Republics. her lullaby has been sung
over every cradle in the new world.
Under the Republican party the seat
Of sovereignty Is at the firesides of the
people. You cannot Pttack the seat OF
power unless you attrCk the homes OF
the American citizens. The Republi.
can party also came into existence to
meet a great crisis in which race pref.
udice dominated a large part OF the
American people. There was a time
in the United States when one race
stood for superiority and Ia" other
race stood In subjeCtiOn. The Rcpub.
liCan party had studied the DeClara
ton Of independence. and !. would not
even permit the Constitution II the
United States to stand In tho way OF
comforting liberty % every man who
looked in alteration upon the AmcIi.
can flag. This Is somewhat cid in
history, but II has meaning.
The United States in expanding Is
being brought into contact with other
races. and there Is the utmost danger
THAT In some Of our new possessions
race prejudices may arise. ..o,h'rs
/, could be so unfortunate for ths destiny
'of a people such Us are in :bCse isl.
ands as to have the least Possibility or
. danger apparent OF Phy race prejudice
among our common citizenship. Gap.
lplause.) II race prejudice should
arise, II those natives unde' tho man.
ner born should see 1T 10 raise the
question among themselves ard these
who are citizens by adoption evil 70
suits must be borne. The Rnpubicau
party has settled that great question.
No Race Question.
Today II you send Delegate to the
door of the American Congress, II
you send him to the threshold of tha
White House, there will De no Iue 4.
ton as to what race he belongs: the
only question will be, Are you a 10y.
