'tProtection is one Of the fnndamen-
tai principles of republicanism: pro-
lection to American industry and Am
erican labor, and no man can be true
to the republican party who is not in
fact imbued with this fundamental
principle. .'.
The republican party has always
been in favor of sound currency as a
medium of exchange and for bank
ing law that increased the facilities of
the borrower as well as the loaner.
The law enacted by the democratic
administration expands the credit Of
the loaner without benefit to the Dor
rover. The law should be so modified
that it's certain effect would be the
expansion Of credit to the borrower as
we'll as the loaner.
Party Of Progress.
THE republican party in this state
is for the expansion of suffrage and to
the extent that women shall be given
the right to vote. This should become
universal and general turnout the
country. 1t has also stood sponsor for
the suppression of intemperance, here
tofore opposed by: united democracy
and it has only been since it was GER
tain that suppression Of intemperance
would become the rule that democracy
has changed front. This work should
be continued until the ruiz OF Iowa
will become universal turnout the
country.
The republican party stands for an
independent, fearless and uninnuenced
executive, legislature and Judiciary. 1t
is for an untrammelled, uninfiuenced
administration of the affairs by i'm
partial commissions or other tribunals
established by law
above and beyond everything else.
the republican party stands for Am
erican citizenship. that citizenship that
stands for America first. last. and all
the time and without divided allie
glance. Any others citizenship Sis no
citizenship at all and should he treated
as an enemy to our ideals. our insti-
t,tiops and toaur -f,s>u4ltry." -. .ass.,s-s
