trlHeS, ana TO assure her appropriate
part in promoting permanent tran
Quillity among the nations. We are a
world power and canno help it, and
although at peace with the world and
American people do not desire and
will not provoke a war with any other
country, we must be prudent and not
be lu1led into a sense of security
which would possibly expose US t o
national humiliation. Our best course
therefore is to insist on a constant
improvement in our navy and it's
maintenance at the highest point of
efficiency.
Conservation of Resources.
The conservation of national re-
sources is a subject to which the pres
ent administration has given especial
attention. The necessity for a COM
~prehensive and systematic improve
ment of our waterways, the preser-
walton of our soil. n of our forests,
the securing from private appropria-
ton the power in navigable streams,
the retention of the undisposed-or
coal lands of the government from al
ienation, all will properly claim from
the e administration earnest at
tention n appropriate legislation.
Difference Between Parties.

Republican n the Democratic plat.

heretofore bee seen between the pol
icies of Mr.. Roosevelt and those
which have been advocated by the
Democratic candidate, Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
R~oosevelt's policies have been pro-
gressive and r~egulative; Mr.. Bryan's
destructive. Mr.. Roosevelt has favor-
ed regulation of the business in which
evils have grown up so as to stamp
out the evils and permit the business
to continue. The tendency of Mr.. Bry-
ans proposals have generally been
destructive of the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding re-
form. Mr.. Roosevelt would compel
the trusts to conduct their business
in a lawful manner.
Election of Senators.
With respect to the election OF sen
ators by the people, personally / am
inclined to favor it, but it Is hardly
a party question. A resolution in it's
favor a passed a Republican house
of representatives several times and
has been rejected in a Republican
senate by h votes of senators from
both parties. 1t has been approved
by the legislatures of many Republi-
can states. In a number of states,
both Democratic and Republican, sub
stantially such a system now prevails
High Character of administration.
The truth is that it is known of all
er has been an administration in the
government more efficiently conduct
ed, more free from scandal and in
which the standard of official duty
has been set higher than in the pres
emit Republican administration.
The foreign policy of this country
under the present administration has
greatly contributed to the peace or
the world.
This administration has, by the
promptness, skill and energy of its
negotiations secured dominion in the
canal zone of the Isthmus of Panaina
without which the construction OF
the canal would have peen impossi-
BILE, it has subdued the heretofore
-insurmountable obstacle of disease
and made the place of work healthy.
1t has created such IN organization
that in six ear certainly, and prob
ably in less, the Atlantic and Pacific
will be united, to the everlasting BEN
eft of the worlds AMI tha
effectiveness of our navy VIII be
doubled.
The mere statement of the things
actually lone by this administration
at home, in our dependencies, aud in
foreign affairs, shows a marvel OF sue
cessful accomplishment, and if aver
a party has entitled itself to the ap-
prevail of its works by a renewed man
date of power from the people whom
it served, it is the Republican party
in the present campaign.
