Republican Progress.
"The time IS too short and your
patience would not permit that
should attempt to demonstrate. these
facts from history. Three great con-
structive parties have existed since
the birth of the Democratic party The
Federalist party, the Whig and lastly
our own, the great Republican party.
Contrast for a moment. if you please,
the birth OF the Republican party
with the origin OF the Democratic.
The great moral, political and patri-
otic question Of whether human slav-
cry as an institution should be permit
ted to rend asunder this Union OF
States welded together the hearts OF
those men who denied this proposition
and crystalized their concert of action
into the Republican party.
"A party thus brought into exist
ence was of necessity a party Of af-
frmative action. The men who ere
ated it We're men who did things
rather than merely theOrize about
them. TheY were not too proud to
fight when the integrity of the Union
was threatened, the national honor
assailed or the rights of American
citizens invaded. When the fighting
was over they were equally efficient

"The desert spots in that period
have been the three Democratic ad-

demands that the next shall be a Re-

of the country are watchfully waiting

THE great world conflict, involving

General n. Coleman dupont was
seen shortly after he had feen en-
dorsed for the Presidency by the Del
aware Republican Convention, and IN
response 10 a request for an express
sion on the situation, said:
Naturally, the action Of the con-
vention is very complimentary.
81 am confident of two things; one
that there will be party harmony at
Chicago, the other that the nominee
will be elected.
THE man named for the Presi-
dency must be American to the core.
and must be for the United States
and its citizens first. last and all the
time. He must stand for the peace
ful settlement of all international
questions involving the United States
but only on the basis of national self
respect Il is as un-Ameircan to
carry a chip on the shoulder as it
would be to run. There is no ex-
cuse for the first; there should be
no need for the other.
"The candidate must be committed
to preparedness without extrava-
gance, and while he works with his
right hand to insure the protection
of American lives, United States ter
ritory and American interests, he
should work with his left hand to de-
velOp some means of settling inter
national questions without resort to
arms.

their hands and they would be

This, probably, is the greatest
recommendation for pantomime
as means of expression that has
ever been voiced. However, the
gesticulations of the Frenchman
or the Italian are not the sort of
pantomime that moving picture
acting demands.
The gestures in pantomime
properly practiced are unobtru-

they feel, and to express what
their words do not carry.
