FOREIGN RELATIONS.

We desire peace, the peace Of justice
and right, and believe in maintaining a
straight and honest neutrality between
the belligerents in the great war in
Europe. We must perform all our du-
ties and insist upon all our rights as
neutrals without fear and without favor.
We believe the peace and neutrality
as well as the dignity and influence
of the United States cannot be pre-
served by shifty expedients, by phrase
making. by performances in language.
or by attitudes ever changing in an eff
fort to secure groups of voters.
The present administration has de-
stroyed our influence abroad ana hui
inflated US in our own eyes. The re-
publican party believes that a firm
consistent and courageous foreign pol
icy. always maintained by republican
Presidents in accordance with American
traditions. is the best as it is the only
true way to preserve our peace and re-
store US TO our rightful place among
the nations. We believe in the pacific
settlement of. international disputes
and favor the establishment Of a world
court for that purpose.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-06-09
BUSINESS.

The republican party has long be-
lieved in the rigid. supervision and
strict regulation of the transportation
and great corporations of the country.
It has put its creed into its deeds, and
all really effective laws regulating the
railroads and the great industrial cor
porations are the work of republican
Congresses and Presidents. For this
policy of regulation and supervision
the democrats, in stumbling and
piecemeal way, are undertaking to in
volve the government in business which
should be left within the sphere of pri-
vate enterprises and in direct COM
petition with its own citizens, a policy
which is sure to result in waste, great
expense to the taxpayer and in an in
ferior product.
The republican party firmly believes
that al who violate the laws in regula-
ton OF Isiness should be individually
punished. But prosecution is very diff
ferent from persecution, and business
successes, no matter how honestly at
tanned. is apparently regarded by the
democratic party as in itself a crime.
Such doctrines and beliefs choke en-
terprise and stife prosperity. The re-
publican party believes In encourag ing
business and will seek to advance all
American interests.

TARIFF.

The republican party stands now. as
always, in the fullest sense for the
policy of tariff protection to American
Industries and American labor and does
not regard an anti-dumping provision
as an adequate substitute. Such pro-
lection should be reasonable In amount
but sufficient to protect adequately
American industry and American labor
and be so adjusted as to prevent I'M
due exactions by monopolies or trusts
1t should, moreover. give special atten-
ton to securing the industrial indie
pendence Of the United States as in
the case of dyestuffs
Through wise tariff and Industrial
legislation our industries can be so
organized that they will become not
only a commercial bulwark but pow
erful aid to national defense.
The Underwood tariff act Is a COM
plete failure In every respect. Under
it's administration imports have enor-
mously increased i'm spite of the fact
that intercourse with foreign countries
has been largely cut of by reason of
the war. while the revenues Of which
we stand in such dire need have been
greatly reduced. Under the normal
conditions which prevailed prior to the
war IL was clearly demonstrated that

to secure with Russia, as with other
countries. a treaty that will recognize
the absolute right of expatriation and
prevent all discrimination of whatever
kind between American citizens. wheth-
err native born or alien, and regardless
of race, religion or previous political
allegiance.
We renew the pledge to observe this
principle and to maiDtain the right OF
asylum, which is neither to be surren-
dered nor restricted. and we unite in
the cherished hope that the war which

few patriotic democrats.

SUFFRAGE.

fused by words and phrases. The
American spirit, which made the coun-
try and saved the Union, has been for

all Americans, whether natura1ized or
native born, to prove to the world that

comes.
We must have a navy strong and SO
well proportioned and equipped. so
thoroughly ready and prepared. that no
enemy can gain command of the sea
and effect a landing in force on either
our western or our eastern coast. To
secure these results we must have a
coherent and continuous policy of ma
tional defense. which even in these
perilous days the democratic party has
utterly failed to develop. but which we
promise to give to the country.

ECONOMY AND A NATIONAL
BUDGET.

The increasing cost of the national
government and the need for the great
est economy Of it's resources in order
to meet the growing demands of the
people for government service call for
the .severest condemnation of the waste
ful appropriations of this democratic
administration. Of it's shameless raids
on the Treasury. and of it's opposition
to and rejection Of President Taft's oft
repeated proposals and earnest efforts
to secure economy and efficiency

we pledge our support and which we

In view of the policies adopted by all
the maritime nations to encourage their

Following is the text of the repub-
lican platform adopted at Chicago:
In 1861 the republican party stood
for the Union. AS it stood for the Union
of states, it now stands for a united
people. true to American ideals. loyal
to American traditions. knowing no
allegiance except to the Constitution.
to the government and to the flag of
the United States. We believe in Ameri-
can policies at home and abroad.

TRANSPORTATION.

Interstate and intrastats transporta-
ton have become so interviewer that
the attempt to apply two and often
several sets of laws to it's regulation
has produced conflicts of authority, en-
barrassment in operation and incon-
venience and expense to the public.
The entire transportation system of
the country has become essentially ma
tional. We. therefore, favor such &C.
ton by legislation or, if necessary
through an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States as will
result in placing it under exclusive fed
eral control.

MEXICO.

We deeply sympathize with the 49,
900, 900 people of Mexico who for three
years have seen their country devas-

low citizens murdered and their wom-
en- outraged, by armed bands of des-
peradoes led by self-seeking, conscience
less agitators. who. when temporarily
successful in any locality. have neither
sought nor been able to restore order or
establish and maintain peace.
We express our horror and indigna-
ton at the outrages which have been
and are being perpetrated by these
bandits upon American men and women
who were or are in Mexico by invita-
ton of the laws and of the government
of that country and whose rights to
security of person and property are
guaranteed by solemn treaty obliga-
tons. We denounce the indefensible
methods of interference employed by
this administration in the internal af-
fairs of Mexico and refer with shame
to its failure 10 discharge the duty Of
this country as next friend to Mexico,
its duty to other powers who have re-
lied upon us as such friend, and it's
duty to our citizens in Mexico, in per-
hitting the continuance of such con-

and firmly. and, second, by lending its
influence to the continuation of such
conditions through recognition of one
of the factions responsible for these
outrages.
