Republicans Liberal

''rhe republican party is the great lib- eral party of the nation.' said MT. Stim- son: mot the conservative party which opposes reforms, nor the radical party, which merely agitates reforms. but the liberal party, which accomplishes re- forms. This is not a mere accident of history. 1t follows necessarily and iner- itably from the form of our government and the views held toward that govern ment by the men who are republicans. It is a necessary result of the national views held by republicans toward their federal union and the liberal views of con- struction held by them toward their fed eral constitution. Our party contains the men who believe the constitution is an instrument of national progress, not a mere refuge of vested right-an instru- ment not to be used to protect the great special interests of today in the manner in which John c. Calhoun used it to pro tect the great special interest of slavery, but an instrument fitted to solve the great problems of tomorrow, just as Lin coin used it to solve the great war prob lens of his day.

Not Changed in Che Year

Now, if we are right in thns, if our faith has a rational justification, it is a monstrous thing to attempt to destroy this great party-tnis instrument which has been working out the destiny of progress in this nation Tor DO years It $ a monstrous thing to allow the impulse, the passion, the lack of vision or of per spective created by the events of a sin gle year, to destroy the organized mo- mentum for good ola half century. If it has been good enough and progressive enough and effective enough through all the struggles of the past 50 years up until this year. it is not likely that 1t has com pletely changed it's character this year and suddenly become worthy of a death sentence.
 T believe that the year 1912 found the republican party better, cleaner, and more progressive than ever before; that 1t has been steadily growing and developing, un- til today, on the great problems which confront the country it's position is one which the nation must adopt, if it is to permanently and satisfactorily solve those problems.
 They say 1t is boss ridden. On the contrary the republican party itself has progressed more rapidly during the past 10 years in the direction of freedom and popular control than in all the other years of its history. Why, the bosses of today are pygnlies compared with the bOSsps of carly days

Fraud Charges Untrue

They say that the republican nomna- ton this year was attained by theft and fraud have examined the facts relat- ing to this charge and l believe 1t is un- true. It is doubtless true that the meth ods of electing delegates to our conven- tons. of all parties. republican and demo- crats alike, are in period of transition. Some states have adopted the direct pri- mary method in others the old methods stil obtain The very fact that the new methods are rapidly coming in shows that the republican party is open to change and reform, and that 1t is not hidebound in it's methods. And the proper course for those who believe in the new method of primary election is not to destroy the party which, is already busily adopting that method, but to go on and hasten to secure it's adoption in all the remaining states

Stimson said ."The re- publicans offer definite programme which includes a sufficient measure of protection to allow our present indus tries to go on and yet which will prevent the possibility of excessive prices coming from excessive protection" and, lon the other side. you have a democratic plat form which attacks the whole basis of our existing system of industries; and you have a democratic House of Representa- tives which throughout its session has been playing politics, pure and simple, with the tariff"

 As to declaring that it has become ap- parent that the Sherman law alone, no matter how faithfully it be enforced, was not a sufficient solution for the problems that have arisen under present business conditions, the speaker said the republican party under the leadership of President Taft offered further specific prograrnme-"further legislation making any action looking toward monopoly criminal, and the establishment of a fed eral trade commission to supervise the operations of business and to aid in the enforcement of the law and the preven- tion of monopoly"
 The secretary referred to the efforts of the democrats to reduce the army and navy below the danger point" as an ex- ample of democratic irresponsibilty" He praised President Tafts attitude in the Mexican troubles, and said: Last winter Mir. Taft took advantage of the fear which his democratic opponents had lest the troubled condition of Mexico might bring on an intervention which would be to his political advantage, in order to obtain from Congress legislation which gave him the right and power to prevent the exportation of arms"
 Attacking the democratic Philippine policy, MT.

New Orleans, Feb. H.-Cotton- Futures opened steady at all advance of 2@5 points. Cables were none too good, but there was no pressure on the market. In the early trad ing shorts were inclined to even ap cNer the week end. It was rumored that the bull crowd would support the market on any further signs of weakness and this stimulated talk ing of profits on the short side. The weather map was wet and the indi- cations were for unsettled weather fer the cotton belt over Sunday. This gave the market added steadiness. Al the end of the first half hour frices were 5@7 points over yesterdays close.
