We come to state in a plain
and direct manner our faith,
our purpose and our pledge.
This representative gathering is
happy augury. II means the
strength of reunion. 1t means
that the party Of Linco!rAis re-
stored, alert, effective. 1t means
the unity of a common percep-
ton CT paramount national
needs. It means that we are
neither deceived nor benum5ed
by abnormal conditions. We
know that we are in a critical
period, perhaps more critical
than any period since the Civil
War. We need dominant
sense Of pationai unity; the eX-
ercj5e OF our best constructive
powers; the vigcr and resource
fulacss Ct G quickened America.
We desire that the Republican
Party as a great liberty party
shall be the agency of nationaI
achievement, the organ of the
effective EXPRESSION Ct dominant
Americaniarn. What do / mean
by that? mean America cen
acicus of power, awake to obi
qatioH, erect in self-Tespect, pre-
pared for every emergency, &C.
voted to the ideals OF peace, in
stjNct with the spirit Ct human
urctaerhccd. safeguarding both
indWduo. opportunity and the
public interest, maintaining a
weII-oa5 led constitutional sys-
tenn adapted to local 5eif-gOvern-
ment without the sacrifice of
essential national authority, Sp-
pTeciating the necessity Of sta
bilitY expert knowledge and
thorough organization as the in
dispensabIe conditions OF Sc
curity ana progress; a country |
loved by its citizens with a pa
triotic ferVor permitting no diVi-
sion in their allegiance and no
rivals in their affection-I mean
America first and America eff
Gent. 1t is in this spirit that
