follows:
an 1861 the Republican party stood
for the union. AS it stood for the
union of states, it stands for an united
people, true to American ideals. loyal
to American traditions. knowing no
allegiance except to the constitution,
to the government and to the flag of
the United States. We believe in
American policies at home and abroad.
Projection Of Americans Rights
I'VE declare that We believe in and
will enforce the protection of every
American citizen in ell the rights Sc
cured to him by the constitution, treat
ties and the law of nations. at home
and abroad by land and sea. These
rights, which in violation of the speci-
fic promise of their party made at
Baltimore in 1912. the Democratic
president and the Democratic congress
have failed to defend. we viii unfinch-
ingly maintain.
Foreign Relations.
I'VE desire peace, the peace of JUS
tice and the right, and believe in main
tanning a straight and honest neutral
ity between the belligerents in the
great war in Europe. We must per
form all our duties and insist uron
all our rights as neutrals without fear
and without favor.
I'VE believe tn L peace and neutral
ity as well as the di nifty and influ
ence of the United States cannot be
preserved by shifty expedients, by
phrase making, or performances in
language or by attitudes ever chang
ing in an effort to secure groups of
voters. The present administration
has destroyed our influence abroad
and numiliated us in our own eyes.
The Republican party believes that
firm, consistent and courageous for
eign policy always maintained by
Republican presidents in accordance
with American traditions. is the best.
as it is the only true way to preserve
our peace and restore us to our right
full place among the nations OF the
world. We believe in the pacific set
tlement of International disputes and
favor the establishment OF a world
court for that purpose.
Mexican.
I'VE deeply sympathize with the
fifteen million people of Mexico
which for three years have seen their
country devastated. their homes des-
troyed. their fellow citizens murder
ed and their women outraged by arm
ed bands of desperadoes led by self
seeking conscienceless agitators who
when temporarily successful in any
locality have neither sought nor been
able to restore order or establish and
maintain peace.
1--WE express our horror and indig-
nation at the outrapes which have
been and are being perpetrated by
these bandits upon American men
and women who we're or are in Mexi-
co by invitation OF the laws and of
the government OF that country and
whose rights to security OF person and
property are guaranteed by solemn
treaty obligations. We denounce the
indefensible methods of interference
employed by this administration in
the internal affairs OF Mexico and re-
fer with shame to fits failure to dis
charge the duty OF this country as
next friend to Mexico, It's duty to
other powers who have relied upon us

zens in Mexico, in permitting the con-
| tinuance OF such conditions. first by
failure to act promptly and firmly and
second by lending its influence to the
continuation OF such conditions
thru recognition OF one of the factions
responsible for these outrages.
I'VE pledge our aid in restoring or
der and maintaining peace in Mexico.
We promise to our citizens ON and
near our border. and to those In Mex

adequate and absolute protection In
their liberty and property.
Monroe Doctrine.
1--WE reaffrm our approval OF the
Monroe Doctrine. and declare its
maintenance. essential to its present
and future peace and safety and to
the achievement of its manifest des-
tiny.
Latin America.
I'VE favor the continuance of Re-
publican policies, which will result in
drawing more and more closely the
commercial, financial and social re-
lations between this country and the
