In striking contrast to the presen.

OF that division, our state was lost on

the great little state OF West Virginia
S very grave one. That responsible.
ity is in exact ratio to the gravity of
the issues that will confront the new
administration and II is well that we
should look with clear eyes far enough
into the future to see what those is.
sues will be and act accordingly. The
war will surely end during the term OF
our next President. The REIMBURSEMENT
OF international affairs will create an
emergency with which the new admin.
istration must deal, an emergency
more acute than any other that has
confronted our country in your time
or in mine. There are but few men
big enough. strong enough, and wise
enough to manage that job and am
loyal to believe that those few are
all in the Republican party.
There will follow this old world
struggle of arms another struggle,
which will be worldwide and bitter to
the last degree. 1t will be a warfare
of diplomacy. of craftsmanship, and
the stake will be the worlds COM
merce, and more especially the com.
merce OF the United States. Every
nation Of the globe down to t.ie small
est unit will be involved. The welfare
and prosperity of every one of them
for years to come will depend upon

hinge upon the courage with which
1t faces, the wisdom with which it
deals with that emergency.
Are VIC prepared today? Could we
survive such struggle with no bet.
ter defense than the Underwood Bill,
with no better business generals than
Woodrow Wilson, VIM. c.. Redtield and
Josephus Daniels?
Why, the only thing that saved the
face OF Mr.Wilson's administration was
the intervention OF the war. As early
as the spring of 1914, Democratic pol
icies enacted into law had begun to
sap away the life blood of American
business and American prosperity. We
were headed straight for one more
period OF distressing low tariff pros.
tration. Everything was perfectly
staged for. another performance Of the
tragedy OF 1894.
Then the war broke out. The .words's
commerce was disrupted. Eventually
importations of!foreign goods into the
United States almost ceased. partly as
the result Of blockades of the seas, and
partly because Of the tremendous war
cost Of producing goods in Europe.
We have. been compelled to fall back
upon our owI resources to supply all
the legitimate wants OF life. and [
think VIC have shown our Democratic
friends just how We can take care Of

pie have had enough Of the uncertain,
vncillating and pledge breaking ad.
ministratton at Washington. We be.
lieye that in the great world crisis
that now approaches, the American
people will turn with absolute certi.
tude to the political party which has
perfected every great piece OF con.
structiye legislation that has been
written in the statutes Of the federal
government. The Democratic party
has been for sixty years party OF
regation and obstruction. The Repub.
lican party has for the same time
been the party OF construction and
affirmative development. The prob.
lens now confronting the American
people demand for their solution
trained statesmen, instead OF theor.
lists and dreamers. They demand men
in executive office, and legislators In
congress, who stand for robust Amer.
icanism; and We believe that the
American people will inevitably turn
to the Republican party for construc.
tive leadership in these times OF ma.
tionai difficulty.
We affirm our faith in the great
Republican doctrine OF the protective
tariff, and declare our firm conviction
that Q high protective tariff will be
more needed by the American people
after the close OF the European war.
than at any time during the last half
century. European industry and trade
will seek 10 Ire-estab lish itself at what.
ever cost European labor will be on
q lower plan OF living; and higher tar.
Ms must be enacted IL American In.
dustry and the American standard of
living Is preserved.
We declare specifically that We IA.
vor general revision OF tariff upward,
instead Of downward; and we look to
the Republican party to give US such
O revision.
I'VE point with pride to the splendid
record Of the Republican administra.
ton in West Virginia, and particularly
to the Workmen's Compensation law,
the Public Utilities law, the Hydro
Electric law, the new Mine Inspection
; law. the. new Health Department law,
all Of which measures were framed
and passed during the present admin.

Ionlyi wish Ilhad the time to tell;you
something of the amazing things that
have already been done in the way of
establishing new industries. In the
production Of raw materials and fin:

been told we must buy from Europe
or do without. Yet what has been
done is only afsuggestion of what

self contained, so self sufficient, that
We could prosper amazingly and indet.

and have headed of the Democratic
program OF stagnation and distress.
The astounding feature OF the situa.
tion is that the spokesman OF the ad-
ministration are claiming credit for
this prosperity as a vindication OF
Democratic policies. They. might with
the same propriety. claim credit for
the sunshine and the, rains that made
the big crops last year. The only log
ical deduction from their claims Is
that the Democrats started the war.
But the basic truth is that the war. is
operating as an accidental, artificial

following the war will make commerce

America. The American markets will
be the one great world prize. The
European nation that captures the
lions share OF that market will be the
first TO recuperate. the first to regain
power and wealth, the first to restore
its strength by sapping ours. Every
foreign court is keenly alive to that
