The Republican party is not only
the party of protection, progress and
prosperity, but the party of popuia-
tion. The growth of the United States
as shown by the census has always
been phenomenal under Republican pol
ieies. and the nation has always slack
ened its vitalities in this direction un-
der Democratic rule. In fact, the Re
publican party can lay claim to trae'
ing its origin direct to the Garden OF
Eden. and establishes connection be-
tween the apple crop and the birth
rate of our country. The Republican
party is the foe. of industrial suicide,
and our greatest President in modern
times has added extinction of race
suicide to the policies Of Republican
ism. His championship OF larger
families had such a marked effect on
the occasion of his visit to Oregon
a few years ago. that the birth rate
of the city of Portland, which was al
ready high, increased % per cent the
first year after President Roosevelt
honored that city with a visit. But
there was no danger of over populs-
tion in Oregon. He told a story Of a
young German butcher in New York
city, who was engaged to be married
TO a young woman in HobOken who was
reputed rather fast. A friend told
Hans she was not behaving just right
and he ought not marry her. Hans
was told that she was running with
every young man in Hoboken. "Nell, -
said Hans. HobOken aind't such a
pig place" Col. HOfer advocated
rebating the poll taxes and giving a
piece of public land to any young man
who would marry and go and live on
the land and make home, and knock
off year in eommutation of title FOL
