AAMERicA FIRST AND AMER
IcA EFFICIENT.


We come to state in a plain
and direct manner our faith,
our purpose and our pledge
This representative gathering Is
a happy auuury- 1t means the
strength of reunion. II means
that the party OF Lincoln is re-
stored, alert, effective. IL means
the unity of a common percep-
ton of paramount national
needs. 1t means that we are
neither deceived nor benumbed
by abnormal conditions We
know that we are in a critical
period, perhaps more critical
than any period since the Civil
War. We need a dominant
sense of national unity; the ex-
ercise of our best constructive
powers; the vieor and resource
fuIness of a quickened America
We desire that the Republican
Party as a great liberty party
shall be the agency of national
achievement, the organ of the
effective expression of dominant
Americanism- What do | mean
by that7 I mean America con-
scious of power, awake to obIi-
cation, erect in seif-respect, pre-
pared for every emergency, de-
voted to the ideals of peace, in
stinct with the spirit of human
brotherhood, safeguarding both
individual opportunity and the
public interest, maintaining a
weIi-ordered constitutional sys-
tenn adapted to local self-govern-
ment without the sacrifice of
essential national authority, APP
|. preciating the necessity of sta
bility, expert knowledge and
thorough organization as the in
dispensabie conditions of Sc
curity and progress; a country
loved by its citizens with pa
triotic fervor permitting no divi-
sion in their allegiance and no
rivals in their Affection mean
America first and America eff
cient- 1t is in this spirit that
! respond to your summons

ceptance.

WHAT ONE DIG MAN
THINKS OF ANOTHER

President W. "A. p Faunee,
Of Brown University, 10 pref

of the times, has keen powers
Of observation, and knows .
good man when he sees him.
Here 10 what he has to say
about the Republican Candidate
for the Presidency:
81 have known Justice Hughes
Intimately since we were stu
dents together at Brown and
have seen him a thousand times
at work and at play. No man of
our generation has a finer COM
bination of character and intel
iect. Absolutely fearless, I'M
selfish, loyal to American ideals,
he is worthy Of . nations trust
"AII his friends know that be-
hind the dignity of bearing 10
a rich fund of humor and good
fellowship. Whether he is climb
ing a mountain, reading novels,
playing with his children, re-
sisting a political lobby or de-
livering the opinion of the Su-
preme Court, he is ever the
same rugged, democratic, fair
minded American. His varied
experience has given him wide
horizon and sympathy with ev-
cry aspect of American life
"He possesses two qualities
rarely found together-the judi
cial temper and the capacity for
swift and resoIute action. In
der his administration the fog
which now besets many public
questions would be cleared
away.
"His penetrating mind goes to
the heart of any subject he Sc
Iects and strips off the irreIe-
want at once. Such a mind is
peculiarly needed amid the in
tricate problems that now con-
front America.
I'VE need more than good in
tentions- We need clear vision,
sound Judgment, strong will, un-
= hesitating decision In short,
we need Charles e. Hughes"

DUTY OF THE ADMiNISTRA-
TON, TO STOP PLOTS AND
ONSPIRACIES.

, We denounce all plots and
conSpfracies in the interest of
any foreign nation. Utterly in
tolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Ann
erfcan must unreservedly con-
denim them, and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here, also. prompt. vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
of the Administration were
needed. There should have
been no hesitation; no notion
that 1T was wise and polite to
delay. Such an abuse of our
territory demanded immediate
and thorough-going' action. As
soon as the Administration had
notice of plots and conspiracies,
it was its duty to stop them.
1t was not lacking in resources.
Its responsibility for their con-
tinuance cannot be escaped by
the condemnation of others

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN
PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
BEFORE PEACE

The supporters of MIR. Wilson
say that the American people
should vote for him because he
has kept us out OF war. 1t is
worth while to remember that
this is a claim that cannot be adj
vanced either on behalf of Wash
ington or of Lincoln. Neither
Washington nor Lincoln kept us
out of war. Americans, and the
people of the world at large, now
reverence the memories of these
two men, because, and only be-
cause, they put righteousness be-
fore peace. They abhorred war.
They Stunned unjust or wanton
or reckless war. But they pos
!: sessed that stern valor of patrio-
first; not safety first; which
babe them accept war rather
than an unrighteous and disaS-
trous peace. There were peace
at-any-price men in the days of
Washington They were the
Tories. There were peace-at-
any-price men in the days of
Lincoln They were the Copper
heads. The men who now with
timid hearts and quavering
voices praise Mr.. Wilson for
having kept US out of war. are
the spiritual heirs of the Tories
of 1776, and the Copperheads of
1864. The men who followed
Washington at Trenton and
Yorktown, and who suffered
with him through the winter at
Valley Forge; and the men who
wore the Blue under Grant, and
the Gray under Lee; were men
of valor, who sacrificed every
thing to serve the right as it
was given them to see the right
/ They spurned with contempt
/ uous indignation the counsels
{ of the feeble and cowardly folk
I who in their day spoke for
! peace-at-any-price. - From the
Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at
Battle Greek. Michigan. in Be

COL. ROOSEVELT APPEALS
FOR THE ELECTION OF
= Mr.. HUGHES.

I appeal to my fellow citizens
that they shall elect Mr.. Hughes
and repudiate Mr.. Wilson be-
cause only by so doing can they
save America from that faint Of
gross seIfishness and cowardice
which we owe to MIR. Wilson's
substitution of adroit eIocution
for straightforward action The
permanent interests of the Amer
lean people lie, not in ease and
comfort for the moment, no mat
ter how obtained, as Mr.. Wilson
would teach US; but in resolute
championship of the ideals of
national and international DEM
ocratic duty, and in prepared
ness to make this championship
effective by our strength Presi-
dent Wilson embodies in his per-
son that most dangerous doc
trine which teaches our people
that when fronted with really
formidable responsibilities we
can shirk trouble and labor and
risk, and avoid duty by the SIM
pie process of drugging our
souls with the narcotic of mean
ingiess phrasemongering. Mr..
Hughes, to the exact contrary,
embodies the ideal of service
rendered through conscientious
effort in the face of danger and
difficulty. Mr.. Wilson turns his
words into deeds only if this
can be achieved by adroit poIit-
icai maneuvering, by bartering a
debauched civil service for con-
gressional votes on behalf of
some measure which he had
soIemnIy promised to oppose.
Our own self-resPect demands
that we support the man of
deeds done in the open against
the man of furtive and shifting
political maneuvers; the man of
service against the man who
whenever opposed by a danger

FAvoRs WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Some time ago, a considera-
ton of our economic conditions
and tendencies, of the position
of women in gainful occupa-
tons, of the nature and course
of the demand, led me to
the conclusion that the granting
of suffrage to women is newt
able. Opposition may delay, but
in my judgment cannot defeat
this movement. If women are
to have the vote. as 1 believe
they are, it seems to me entirely
clear that in the interest of the
public life of this country, the
contest should be ended prompt
ly- 1 favor the vote for women.

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Had this Government by the
use of both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
ciseiy what we said, and that
we should unhesitatingIy vindi-
cate that position, l am conf
dent that there would have been
no destruction of American lives
by the sinking of the Iusitanis.
There, we had ample notice; in
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
notice Instead of whiting
away our formal statements by
equivocaI conversations, we need
ed the straight, direct and de-
cisive representations which ev-
cry diplomat and foreign office
would understand. ! believe
that in this way we should have
been spared the repeated as
sauits on American lives. More
over, a firm American policy
would have been strongly sup
ported by our people and the op-
portunities for the deveIopment
of bitter feeling would have
been vastly feduced.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1916-10-28

Evidently Mr.. Wilson has made up
his mind about something. He refers
in his acceptance speech to .'the SOW
ereign authority of Mexico" He may
have decided to whom he was refer
ring. Less than two years ago he was
not sure whether it was the soldier
bandit villa or the grocer-grafter Car
rama
The Administration ought TO be able
to take a comfortable rest 1t has
turned pretty much everything over
to commissions from the Mexican
question to the tariff The talent for
Sinking responsibilities comes handy
sometimes.

BRlARCLIFF. y. Y, May 9.-The
United States is the most wasteful ma

Citizens Of the United States spend
eight billion dollars a year, needless

thrift campaign to teach our people to
save that eight billion.

tion which must arise when the war
in Europe is over
Campaign to Star This Summer.
Therefore, the three days Of the
conference will be devoted mostly
toward the final preparation for the
nationwide campaign for thrift, which
will be launched this summer.
One hundred years ago the first saw
ings bank was founded in the United
States. Now the people Of this coun-
try are to be taught to save. The Saw
ings Bank Section of the association
will have charge of the campaign. The
movement will not be directed prim-
arily toward benefit of savings banks.
It will be broader in its scope. The de-
sire of those connected with the cam
paign is to instill into Americans those
! principles of thrift that govern the
peoples OF European countries, not
miserly boarding. but sane econom-
/ ical administration of money earned.
The pamphlet is complete in its di-
rections for the formation of the local
associations which will war against
waste. Its first part is given up to
the preliminary steps in starting the
campaign. This will be done, first, by
interesting individual bankers; sec
ond, by a meeting of the bankers and
the appointment Of a committee, and,
third, by q general meeting to which
citizens of the town are invited.
The Associations Aims.
Following this. the constitution and
bylaws OF the Permanent Thrift Asso-
citation are set forth. This is its oh
ject: To investigate ways and means
toward greater individual thrift foT
members OF our community, and dis
seminate all constructive information
that is secured. It aims to encourage
and promote the habitual practice OF
lthrift-on the part of the young and
