For two years the world has

know has been torn by the might

conflict,
what the people OF tho United
States must determine through their
suffrage is whether the course the
country has pursued through this
crucial period, IS 20 be continued;
whether the principles that have
been asserted as our national policy
shall be endorsed or Withdrawn.
This IS 'he paramount issue. No
lesser issue must cloud e. no un.
related problems must confuse it,
In concluding this issue, Mr.
I Glynn asked
DO the critics OF the present ad-
ministration believe that Lincoln
should have risked national disas-
ter by using the sword rather than
the pen in pressing the Alabama
claims? Are they willing to brand
Grant rs a coward because he kept

In answer 10 those VINO say that

Chief Justice White OF the Unit

SALIENT POINTS IN
GLYNN's SPEECH,

eff Washington was right, II
Jefferson was right, II Hamilton
was right, II Lincoln was right,
then the president of the United
States is right today
Neutrality is the policy which
has kept us at peace while
Europe has been driving the nails
OF war through the hands and
feet OF a crucified humanity"
Where Washington vainly
pleaded for recognition OF our
neutral rights, where Jefferson
sought in vain 10 protect our
shipping. where Lilcoln failed 70
gain the freedom OF the seas, the
man who now sits in the presl
Dental chair has secured from
every warning power, from evSry
empire under the sun, the formal
and definite assurance that the
neutral rights of America shall
be respected and observed
This policy may not satisfy
those who revel in destruction
and find pleasure in despair
II does satisfy the moth
ers OF the land az whose hearths
no jingoist war has placed an
empty chair"
With us war never has been
a choice, il has always been a
fate"
I'VE would fight four more
wars for the same reasons. but
reasons we must have.
I'VE may look upon prepared
ness with as little favor as we
look upon taxes, but We pay the
taxes because We want the pro
lection for which the taxes pay"

The citizens OF this country must

cause his policies are right. They
will stand behind him because his
, policies are the policies which have
brought the nation a century OF
prosperous and honored people
They will stand behind him because

He pointed out that the promise
made four years ago that a Demo
cratic administration would liber-
ate the nation from the chains Of in
dustrial tyranny has been carried
out. He eulogized the federal re-
serve act and declared that the
"scholar-statesman. whose rod has
struck the golden rock OF Americas
resources, to set free the wealth i'm
prisoned for half century, Is a
Moses who has led Americas indus
tries from the wilderness OF doubt
and despair TO the promised land OF
prosperity and hope"

AZ. The Underwood tariff. Mr..
Glynn characterized as the falrest
and the best of all we have enacted.
Under the present administration
the United States has enjoyed a
wonderful era OF good business and
good times.
The Americans ideals and his as
pirations served as the basis for the
speakers opening discussion.
I'VE who stand today on the fer
tile soil Of America. who live under
the smiling skies OF free and fruit
ful land. must prove worthy OF the
trust that American sacrifice has
imposed on every American.
''Disregarding the divisions that
make one man a Tory and another
a Wing. one man a Republican and
another a Democrat. Americans will
cast aside the tinsel OF party labels
and the mummery OF party en-
blems.
From the great pulsing heart OF
the nation will come a patriot COM
mand to crush partisanship. and re-
Duke whatever is mean or blind.
THAT command will be heard by
the ploughman in his field, and by
the laborer at his bench. II will
reach the merchant in his ONCE and
the lawyer at his desk We would
be false TO ourselves. and recreant
to those who send US here II we
permitted any thought Of partisan
profit, any consideration of political
advantage to obscure our vision OF
the tremendous issues now before
the people Of the United States.
We must cast aside all that is sci.
Ash, we must hold ourselves worthy
of q nations confidence by offering
only the best of our intelligence, the
flower OF our patriotism toward the
solution of what all men perceive
TO be a crisis In the nations affairs"
