20 national and individual courage
and hope and gladness than could
come from any other cause. IL would
be an assurance that would become a
happy factor In plans for the future
discussed by the fireslde groups in
millions OF American homes, and to
farm and factory and shop and mine
II would come as forward call In
directions that have made our coun-
try unique iOr progress among the
peoples OF the world.
The success of the Republican par
~ at the coming election would be a
national declaration that the Ameri-
can people would hold TO the ideals
and the standards that have made the
history OF our country and our party
splendid: that the common obliga-'
tion OF every citizen TO be honest and
fair in all his dealings and in all his
relations would be enforced from.
high and low and rich and poor, be-
cause upon its enforcement will the
very strength and the perpetuity of
our Republic depend. IL would make
known to all that not foot OF the
e~ound gained by President Roosevelt
in his brave contest for justice and
right would be concedeamor deserted;
that conscience and courage in public
station and in private life will be held
20 as cardinal principles, and that
privilege and favoritism will be con-
tended against as directly opposed to
the existence I'D tlle aspirations of a
self-governing people.
The success )f the Republican par
~ in Novembe will be fortunate for
the American people, because Il will
include the election OF William II.
Taft as President; Il will place at the
head OF their Government a man
whose ways and whose work they
know; a man whom they have tested
and trusted, and a man whom exper-
ience recommends and pleads for.
The election of William II. Taft
would give to our country a leader of
whom II could truly be said that his
courage and his kindness, his good
sense and his good humor have
created for him a fellowship and a
friendship with every citizen who for
his country wishes we'll
The success OF the Republican par
~ In November is deserved because II
will place James s. Sherman in the
high position of President, a
man who. among the leaders of his
party and his country, gained distinc-
tion and favor. and who as the repre-
sentative of our Unions greatest
State in the councils OF the Nation
created for himself the status that led
10 his selection for the second highest
honor his countrymen could give.
The Republican party should be
successful next November because
that success will include a Republi-
can majority in Congress. No halt
ing in the movements OF nation will
come through question or fear as 10
what that majority will do. Every
vote cast for a Republican candidate
for Congress In any district or any
section OF our common country will
be interpreted as a direct appeal in
behalf of the policies and the legis-
lation to which that party is sacredly
pledged. II will be an appeal for af-
hrmative, united action; for larger
national and individual opportunity
and for further progress In paths
that always have led TO national safe
~ and national advancement. Every
vote for a Republican candidate for
Congress will be an appeal in direc-
tions that will make for confidence
and contentment, a call that will give
impetus to industry and encourage
ment to those who honestly plan and
toll and strive in any field OF action
under the flag We love.
The success of the Republican par
~ in November will insure adherence
TO the American protective tariff pol
icy. which has done most to make our
country what II Is; that policy which
has done more TO increase the re-
wards OF labor and to enlarge its op-
portunities than any other enact

the sky. The success OF the Repub-
lican party will provide for a tariff
revision that will seek to improve its
operation and not to prevent II; that
will seek to enlarge its benefits and
not 10 restrict them; and that will
have in mind favor for protection as
the policy OF a nation and not as the
incident of a campaign or subject to
the favor and prejudice Of faction and
OF section.
The success OF the Republican
party I'm November will make It
Known that here In this western world
will Opportunity rather than Social
Ism continue as our national intent;
that here the right to earn and to
climb and to grow will be higher held
than the strife for a dead level of
position or possession with which con-
tentment could not live; that here is
Il recognized that the wealth and the
strength OF nation comes first
through its men and its women who
cOntentedly regard its to-days and
hopefully plan for its to-morrows;
who find their highest Joys In their
own best accomplishments, and hold
Al TO be true that nation at work at
the labor Of its choice is a nation pro-
seeding towards its highest destiny.
The success OF the Republican par
ty next November will be an approval
of It's action providing for the safety
OF the toiler at his toll, OF its enact
ment for mediation and arbitration,
Of its provisions for punishment and
their application to combinations that
seek Illegal advantages; OF It's demand
for the children OF our country the
privileges OF their childhood. and for
its efforts and it's accomplishments
that have deserved and have won the
approval OF all who have fairly Viewed
