"RAIDS ON THE TREASURY"
The increasing cost of the national
government and the need for the
greatest economy of it's resources in
order to meet the growing demands
of the people for government service
| call for the severest condemnation OF
the wasteful appropriations OF this
| Democratic administration, OF its
shameless raids on the treasury, and
| of It's opposition to and rejection OF
President Taft's oft repeated propos-
ais and earnest efforts to secure econ
| omy and efficiency through the estab-
| lishment of simple business-like bud
| get system to which we pledge our
support and which we hold to be nee
essary to effect any real reform in the
administration of national finances.
We believe in a careful husbandry
of all the natural resources Of the ma
tion-a husbandry which means de-
velopment without waste; use without
abuse.
The civil service law has always
been sustained by the Republican par
ty. and we renew our repeated declar-
alton that it shall be thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended wher-
ever practicable. The Democratic
party has created since March 4, 1913,
10000 offices outside of the civil serv-
ice law at an annual cost of $44 ,000,-
900 to the taxpayers of the country.
We condemn the gross abuse and
the misuse of the law by the present
Democratic administration and pledge
ourselves to a reorganization of this
service along lines of efficiency and
economy
Reaff1rming the attitude maintained
by the Republican party, we hold that
officials appointed to administer the
government of any territory should
be bona fice residents of the territory
in which their duties are to be per-
formed.
NATIONAL CHILD LABOR LAW.
We pledge the Republican party to
the faithful enforcement of all feder-
al laws passed for the protection of
labor. We favor vocational educa-
ton, the enactment Of a generous and
comprehensive workmen's compensa-
ton law, within the commerce power
of congress, and an accident compen-
sation law covering all government
employees. We favor the collection
and collation. under the direction of
the department of labor of complete
data relating to industrial hazards for
the information of congress, to the
end that such legislation may be
adopted as may be calculated to Sc
cure the safety, conservation, and pro
lection of labor from the dangers In
cident to industry and transportation
EXTENSION OF VOTE TO WOMEN
The Republican party. reafirmins
it's faith in government of the people
by the people, for the people, as a
measure of justice to one-half the
adult people OF LnlS country, IdNoL
the extension of the suffrage to WON
en-, but recognizes the right of each
state to settle this question for it
self.
Such are our principles, such are
our purposes and policies. We close
as we began. The times are danger
Gus and the future is fraught with
peril. The great issues of the day
have been confused by words and
phrases. The American spirit, which
made the country and saved the
Union, has been forgotten by those
charged with the responsibility o.
power. We appeal to all Americans
whether naturalized or native born
to prove to the world that we are
Americans in thought and In deed
with one loyalty. one hope, one aspir
alton. We call on all Americans Il
be true to the spirit of America. q
the great traditions of their common
country and. above all things to keel
! the faith.
VicarIous Enjoyment.
