CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The civil service law has always
been sustained by the Republican
party and we renew our repeated
declaration that 1t shall be thoroughly
and honestly enforced and extended
wherever practicable. The Democratic
party has created since March 4, 1918,
30 600 offices outside of the civil SER
vice law at an annual cost OF s44,-
600. 900 to the taxpayers of the coun-
try.
We condemn the gross abuse and
the misuse of the law by the present
Democratic administration and pledge
ourselves to a reorganization of this
service along lines of efficiency and
economy.
TERRITORIAL OFFICIALS.
Reaffirmig the attitude long main
tanned by the Republican party, we
hold that officials appointed to admin
lister the government of any territory
should be bona fde residents of the
territory in which their duties are to
be performed
ENFORCE FEDERAL LAWS
FOR LABOR'S PROTECTION
We pledge the Republican party to
the faithful enforcement of all Federal
laws passed for the protection OF
labor. We favor vocational education;
the enactment and rigid enforcement
of a Federal child labor law; the en-
actment of a generous and compre-
hensive workman's compensation law,
within the commerce power of Con-
gress. and an accident compensation
law covering all government employees.
We favor the collection and collation.

of Labor OF a complete da IN relating

ton of Congress- to the end that such
legislation may be adopted as may be
calculated to secure the safety, con-
servation and protection of labor from
the dangers incident to industry and
transportation.
FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE;
BUT LET STATES DECIDE
The Republican party, reaffirming
its faith In government of the people,
by the people. for the people. as
measure of justice to one-half of the
adult people OF this country, favors
the extension OF the suffrage to wo-
r1cn. but recognizes the right OF each
State to settle this question for itself.
Such are our principles, such are
our purposes and policies. We close
as we began. The times are danger
Gus and the future is fraught with
peril. The great issues of the day
have been confused by words and
phrases. The American spirit, which

with the responsibility of power.-Ws
appeal to all Americans. whether
naturalized or native born, to prove
to the world that we are Americans in
thought and in deed, with one loyalty,

all Americans to be true to the spirit
Of America, to the great traditions of
their common country and above all
things, to keep the faith.
