He said:
"Mr. Speaker, the purpose Of this res
olution is to authorize the President to
raise to maximum strength the present

for it is that the demand is very great

GET OUT THE VOTE,

\ this country there are more Republicans than
there are Democrats When the Republicans are
united and when they get to the polls Republican vic
tory is assured That is true OF Delaware as it is
Of the country large.
This year. thanks TO the nomination Of Hughes
thanks TO the inherent patriotism Of Roosevelt and
the great bulk of the Progresves thanks to the ma
ture Of the campaign. thanks to the importance Of the
issues. thanks to the sense OF nationalism
which renders ntolerable the thought of a continu-
ance of the present administration in ohice-thanks
In short, to the American spirit in which the Republic
can party created and in which this year. il has
been recreated' Republicans united in Delaware
and elsewhere.
There remains therefore only the problem OF get
ting the united Republicans to the polls.
This duty falls. in the first instance to the party
committees We hope that they may have the fullest
and most helpful cooperation from all the members
Of the party.
Every Republican should forthwith appoint himself
volunteer member of the party committee for the
purpose Of getting Out the vote on election day
Probably every Republican knows Of some man who
did not vote last time He should see to it that that
man gets TO the polls this year
MANY Republicans know some friends who have
hitherto voted with the Democrats but who do not
intend 10 do it this year These men may have il in
mind to refrain from voting this year Their Repubn
can friends persuade them Of their full duty TO
the country by urging them TO go to the polls and N
vote the Republican ticket
There are hundred ways in whiohethe average
members of the party who has never thought Of the
matter can help win a smashing Republican victory
this year. II all resolves itself down 10 the problem
OF getting out the vote. Every Republican can help
DO this and we hope that every Republican who reads
this Will at resolve to to the polls himself
and TO get other Republican 10 go with him

Despite the Democratic claim that

the three and one-half years that
"the prince of peace" has been in
Office than during any like period

Perhaps, the basis for the loud

war is, after all. justihable, for the
reason that our troops on numerous
occasions have had orders not to

cases, we kept out Of war" but the
