Mr.. FAIRBANKS LETTER.
Clear and Effective Statement Of
Republican Principles That
Should Command Respect.


6
Senator Fairbank' letter of ac-
,eptance is document which
appeals directly to the business
men and workers generally. 1t
states clearly some of the most i'm
portant, but perhaps not sufficiently
understoodJ tenets of the Republi-
can party in its conflict with Dem
ocracy.
In calling attention to the ser
vice done to the entire country by
the establishment of the bureau of
commerce and labor with special
department to deal with corpora
tions, the senator points out the
first real attempt by the govern
ment to deal with the trust prob
lem. He clearly sees that the reg
ulation of the great combinations
Of capital by law is possible, is
necessary, and he shows the con-
sistent course of the Republican
party in this regard.
AS to our foreign policy, Senator
Fairbanks rightly considers that
we have much to be proud of in the
firm, conservative and thoroughly
broad and Christian policy which
has been adhered to during the
years of Republican administra-
ton The tremendous expansion
in our trade, our foreign interests
and influence has been accomplish
ed by peaceful methods, and no re-
mote sign of war has appeared upon
our horison in the years following
the establishment of new national
! relations or our acquisition of a
vast territory in the far east.
In his enunciation of the Repub-
lican idea of the desirability Of
closer trade relations with our great
y neighbor, Canada, the candidate
| for the vice-presidency is peculiarly
; happy. He is plainly for a liberia
movement for reciprocity betwee.
. this country and the people jus
/ over the line to the north. He al
q so emphasizes the value of the ''op
: en- door" secured for us in China
q and promises continuance OF tn
e benefits of that result of our recen
: foreign policy.
$ AS whole, the letter of tn
o vice-presidential candidate is
! strong paper, one which command
respect and confidence. Senate
y Fairbanks is meeting the America
r people face to face, from one en-
70 of the country to the other, in hi
