Bulwarked by this presentation Of
the state and national situations, the
Republican State Commute Of Yer.
mont expresses it. belief that Repub
licanIsm 10 Vermont and in the conn
try al large is destined so move onward
10 a reign of greater usefulness than
has ever characterized the past, glori-
Gus rs that has been. But, at the same
time il urges the utmost activity all
along the line and particularly it de-
sires this TO manifest itself in earlyand
effective organization in every town in
the state, Let town committees at
once get 10 work with the purpose pre-
dominant Of getting out the largest
Republican vote possible. Any and all
assistance that the State Committee
can render viii be promptly furnished.
In conclusion, the State Committee
calls attention TO the admirable con
trast of the two great parties as ex-
pressed in the Republican platform ms
follows:
BEYOND all platform declarations there
ARE fundamental differences between the
Republican party and It's chief opponent
which make the one worthy and the other
unworthy Of public trust. In history the
difference between Democracy ana Repuh-
Hcanism Is that the one stood for debased
currency, the other for honest currency
the one for free silver, the other for sound
money; the one for free trade, the other
for protection. the one for contraction OF
American influence, the other for its ex-
pansion the one has been forced TO aban |
don every position taken on the great |
and indicated ALL In experience, the diff |
ference between Democracy and Republi- |
canisn Is that one means adversely, while |
the other means prosperity one means
low wages, the other high one means
doubt and debt, the other confidence and
thrift. In principle, the difference between
Democracy and Repubiicanism Il that one
stands for yncillation and timidry In gov
ernmrnt the other for strength and pur-
pose; one stands for obstruction, the other
for construction; one promises, the other
performs, one finds faults, the other finds
work. The present tendencies of the two
parties are even more marked by Inherent
differences, The trend of Democracy Is
toward Socialism. while the Republican
party stands for wise and regulated indi-
yidualisn. Socialism would Il estroyl
wealth ReDublcanism would prevent its
abuse. Socialism would offer an equality
of possession which would soon leave no
one anything TO possess; Republicanism
would give equality Of opportunity which
would assure to each his share OF n con
stantly increasing sum of possessions. In
lne With this tendency the Democratic
party OF today believes In Government
ownership, while the Republican party be-
lieNes In Government regulation. uiti-
mately Democracy would have the nation
own the people. while Repnbllcanlsm
would have the people own the nation"
