The Ranuk,<4f party has won all its
,.st r;oto-,S as the champion Of progress
s;ra M. 1t must win its future vic
tor;ss-1s the champion Of progressive lib
1t must always be the here-and-
low party, the up-to-date party, the party
of conservative advance.
A new era has opened upon this world.
For half a century we have been an
swering the great questions which the
welfare of the American people demanded,
and we answered them wisely. Now we
must turn to the new economic questions
questions which involve the righteousness
of American business, a just distribution
of wealth by preventing dishonest accumu-
latlon Of gainVuestions that look to the
PHYSICAL, mental and moral upbuilding
of all the workers in factories and on
farms throughout the republic.
The Republican party is not the enemy
of wealth 1t believes in property and the
rights Of property; but it is also the
friend of the people, 1t believes that
tho inst r1vb<o n ,o~s<or orI ~. -~~1 -oI
fare Of the people are one and the same.
1t believes that all honest interests of the
few are wrapped up in the prosperity of
the many: and SO the Republican party
stands as a defender of all honest capital
on the one hand, the protector of all
peaceful labor on the other hand-and
therefore the Republican party is the en-.
envy Of those modern Catilines who set
at each others throats the laborer and
the man who employs them.
A class is swiftly forming who propose
to solve the great social and Industrial
problems of the times by hasty, radical
measures. Now and then even the coun.
sci of violence is heard. This grour OF
extremists is already a~ppropriating the
name of the Democratic party. Against
them and their doctrines the Republican
party sets it's face like flint, and fer then
and their practices the Republican party
has a hand of iron.
We must be progressive-we Republi.
can But We must also be conservative
for the people demand not only that our
principles shall be right and our purposes
uplifting to the masses, but that our plans
and policies shall work out practical re
suits Radicalism is emotion at the boil
ing point-conservatism is merely com
mon sense at normal temperature
How true ideals are; how false reali
ties. How noble the deeds the American
people have wrought. how seemingly i'm.

have cited them to show you only that the
broadest vision is narrow, the loftiest con.
ception is low, compared with the destiny
which events are working out for thi:
God-fearing and humanity helping nation
/ would have you 60 forth understandin,
that the problems of to-day are not the
plans of politicians nor the schemes oil
parties, but the questions of humanity ant
