Protection of the Country.
''In order to maintain our people
and make certain the security of our
people within our own borders the
country must have not only adequate
but thorough and complete national
defense, ready for any emergency.
We must have sufficient and effective
regular army, and a provision for
ample reserve, already drilled and
disciplined, who can be called at once
to the colors, when the hour of dang
er comes.
1--WE must have a navy so strong
and so well proportioned and equipp-
ed so thoroughly ready and prepared
that no country can gain command
of the sea, effect a landing in force
on either our western or our eastern
coast. To secure these results we
must have coherent and continuous
policy of national defense, which
even in these perilous days the Demo-
cratic party has utterly failed to
develop, but which we promise to give
to the country.
