want 10 say a word to the young men
whose political life is beginning
Anyone entering business would be
glad of the chance TO become one Of an
established firm with years Of success
behind it,
Everything great done by this country
in the last fifty years has been done
under the auspices of the Republican
party. Is not this a priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant Hayes and Gar
field, Harrison and McKinley-names Sc
cure in the heaven of fame-they are all
gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in prin-
ciples, memories, sacred associationsi 1t
IS a start in life to share that wealth.
In our form Of government there must
be two parties
But what young man would not rather
belong TO the party that does things,
instead Of one that opposes them; to the
party that looks up, rather than down; to
the party Of the dawn, rather than Of the
sunset?
For fifty years the Republican party
has believed in the country and labored
for it in hope and JOY;
Has reverenced the flag and fol
lowed il;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far-recedng horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
Has seen the country extend its inter
course and its influence to regions un-
known to our fathers;
Yet it has never abated one jot or title
OF the ancient law imposed on US by God
fearing ancestors. The Constitution of
our fathers has been the light to our
feet. Our path is, and will ever remain,
that Of ordered progress of liberty under
the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid Of the light
The fabric our fathers builded will
stand all shocks of fate or fortune.
While there will always be a proud
pleasure in looking back on the history
they have made, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less
important.
We who are passing off the stage bid
you. as the children of Israel encampinc
by the sea were hidden, to 20 forward.
We whose hands can no longer hold the
flaming torch pass it on to you. that
its clear lignt may show the truth to
the ages that are to come.

Henry Clews. the well-kuown New

men who are to cast their first vote for
President this election, which is the
safer candidate to vote for. President
Roosevelt or Judge Parker. Some con
densed extracts and statements Of Mr..
Clews' answer are herewith submitted:

for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900. although
he did not ike Bryan. and says now that
he did not believe in free silver. In 1900
the gold Democrats swung back into line
behind Bryan and free silver. Like Hill
they said. 1 am a Democrat. and that
was enough. They did not agree with
the issue, but said, Never mind the is

many victories will forever stand that
victory Tor which the immortal Lincoln
gave his life. the abolition Of slavery.
With the blood Of patriots be washed the
stain forever from the stars and stripes.
| The Republican party saved the Union
and gave freedom 10 four millions Of peo-
pie. For all time the victory Of the
abolition Of slavery stands to the credit
of the Republican party
Then, thirty-seven years later, the cry
OF the oppressed went up from fair Gu
ha; her people had been ground into the
dust for four centuries by Spanish greed
and oppression. Another Republican
President, another American martyr,
came to the rescue OF the Queen Of the
Antilles. and William Mckinley freed
Cuba and started her on her ilustrious
career Of destiny.

its possession Of Alaska might some day
be menace to our Pacific coast. Alas
ka was purchased by Secretary Of State
Seward and the Republican party; and
instead Of being a menace it now stands
as a sentinel guarding American interests
in the Northern Pacific and the Arctic
Ocean. For all time the victory Of peace
fully acquiring Alaska stands TO the cred
j; of the Republican party.
For more than a half century past the
American people have demanded a canal
to connect the waters of the Atlantic
with the waters of the Pacific. The great
advantages of such a canal are too oh
viOus to be dwelt upon. The advantages
TO the United States in time of war
will be immeasurable. OF its feasibility
there is no question. or its early con
structOn there has been no doubt since
the recent day when the Republican par
ty, at the hands Of the Republican Pres
ident, gave to our nation the American
Panama canal. For all time the victory
OF the Panama canal will stand 10 the
credit Of the Republican party. When
we acquired the Philippines and Porto
Rico we found school privileges practical
ly non-eNistent. Only six years have
passed, and to-day over three hundred
thousand Filipino and Porto Rican
children are receiving American educa,
ton and singing the songs Of freedom in
the Anglo-American language. For all
time the victory OF inaugurating the pub
