June Is to June 20.

The republican party, assembled by
it's representatives in national conven-
ton, declares it's unchangng faith IN
government Of the people, by the peo-
Pile, for the people. We renew or al
legiance to the principles of the lepub-
lican party and our devotion to the
cause of republican institutions estab-
lished by the fathers.
1t is appropriate that we should now
recall with a sense of generation and
gratitude the name of our first great
leader, who was nominated in this city,
and whose lofty principles AMI devotion
to his country are an inspiration to the
party he hOnored-Abraham Lincoln. IN
the present state of public affairs we
should be inspired by his broad states
manship and by his tolerant spirit to.
ward men.
The republican party looks back on
it's record with pride anI satisfaction
and forward to its new responsibilities
with hope and confidence Its achieve
ments in government constitute the
most luminous pages in our history
Our great national advance has been
made during the years of it's ascendency
in public affairs. 1t has been genuinely
and always party OF progress; 1T has
never been either stationary or reaction
airy; it has gone from the fulfillment of
one great pledge to the fulfillment of
another in response to the public need
and to the popular will.
Government Of Laws.
We believe in our self-controlled rep
resentative democracy which is gov
eminent of laws, not of men, and in
which order is the prerequisite of pro-
gress.
The principles of constitutional gov
eminent, which make provision for or
derby and effective expression of the
popular will, Of the protection of civil
liberty and of the rights Of men, and
for the Interpretation of the law by an
untrammeled and independent judiciary,
have proved themselves capable Of sus-
which, after more than a century of
development, embraces 1O0,OOO,OOO of
people, scattered over wide and d.
verse territory, but surrounded by COM
mon purpose, common ideals and COM
mon affection to the constitution of the
United States
Under the constitution and principles
asserted and vitalized by it the United
civilized and civilzing powers of the
earth. 1t offers home and an Oppor-
tunity to the ambitious and the indus

Resting upon broad basis of a peo-
pies confidence and peoples support,
and managed by the people themselves,
the government of the United States
will meet the problems of the future
as satisfactorily as 1t has solved those
of the past
Prepared to 60 Forward.
The republican party is now, as al
ways, a party of advanced and consec-
utive craftsmanship. 1t is prepared to
go forward with the solution of those
new questions which social, economic
and political development have brought
into the forefront of the nations in
terest. 1t will strive not only in the
nation, but in the state to enact the
necessary legislation to safeguard the
public health; to limit effectively the
labor of women and children; to pro-
