lie said in part:
The strength Of the Republican party has
always been its courage. II has never pur-
sued the easiest way and never shrked re-
nor advocated any political
fancy on the theory that 1t was popular.
II has been the party OF progress ana
will continue to be the parry or progress,
but IL would lose the meaning Of its exist
ence IL II should mistake unrest for prog
ress II cannot become tho apostle Of dis
II has oeco dno should continue
10 be the regulator of evil conditions
The industrial welfare Of the country and
the peace and happiness Of all citizens can
best be maintained By orderly procedure
under the American Constitution. That
document has not yet failed 10 meet the
requirements Of our great increase in popu-
lation, mutiFarous industries and occupa- !
tions.
The Republican party cannot be reaction |
arv anv more than il can he hySterical. !
Tho votes OF confidence which have been |
given 10 IL many times have been due 10 |
its plain common sense. Ii has relied upon |
reason. and has not fallen into the tempta- |
ton OF appealing to passion IN It's en- |
ieavor to secure political adherence.
