state, more ardent OF Jealous, OF moro
enthusiastic advocates of the grea
cause of republiSanism than these
gentlemen who opposed me in this
contest.
Il expect at my very earliest oppor-
tunity to go into every nook and cor
ner of this state and advocate and
preach to the best of my ability, those
republican doctrines which call for
Americanism, and which make for the
highest, most exalted American
patriotism. (Applause) One of the
greatest issues in this campaign will
be, are we or are we not for America
(Applause) And during the canvass
of the various states of the union
this will be one of the great questions
that the people of this vast country
will be called upon to answers. Shall
this nation be reconsecrated to the
great fundamental principles of Ameri-
canism? (Applause.) Shall this pres
ent administration. be denounced and
discredited for its abandonment OF
patriotic American doctrines and its
utter disregard to those glowing Am
erican traditions that have made us
walk erect among the nations of the
world?
"The great clarion cry of the ad
minstration supporters that the admin
istration has kept out of war will be
muffled in the roar of ballots heard
on election day. (Applause.) The
craven, vicious, un-American, un-
patriotic proclamation of safety
first will be stilled forever when the
American people in a spirit of I'M
selfish patriotism shall insist that re-
gardless of danger or safety, Ameri
cans must be protected the world over
(Applause.) Is it possible that the
American people will support an Am
erican president who fails to follow
the American flag, as it unfurls
throughout the world? Are Ameri-
cans in danger, to be solaced and
recldessly abandoned to the cow
ardiy slogan of safety first? Has
not the administration denounced that
unsel6sh action which causes man
to rush in front of a speeding train
and at the IRISH of his life, to snatch
a sleeping child from the danger
Gus track? Does this safety first
doctrine condemn the uselhsh act OF
the frantic mother who rushes into
a burning building to save a slum.
bering infant? Does it cry out against
a selfish Americanism that would per-
NIT Americans. abroad to suffer and
to die without aid and with protec-
ton? Are the American people to
sustain an administration that ruth
lessly abandons its own for the sake
safety first? My friends the tradi-
tons Of America condemn principles
that call for selfish interests because
danger is in the way. applause
Americans must be protected where
ever the flag floats and the red blood
of America will stand for nothing else
(Applause.) We believe in the kline
of safety first" that eliminates every
semblance of selhshness; that calls
for great sacrife, if necessary to up
hold American principles and Am
erican honor.
Will Advocate Republicanism
1--WE expect to advocate in this cam
paign, to the best of our ability, those
principles of republicanism which call
for the happiness and safety of our
people, and the prosperity of the
whole country in our domestic affairs,
We expect to advocate protective
tariff doctrine which will contribute
to our prosperity and comfort; and
which will give workingmcn in this
country something upon which to live
(Applause.) We expect to advocate
those republican doctrines, my friends
which were promulgated by our party
years a6o, and which have beer
handed down through the ANNALS Of
our national history for the ultimate
benefit of our great common country
The policies of the republican party
have never been destructive but con
structive, We propose to show up thu
frailties at home and the frailtie.
