with the allies or with their enc
mics it will be against a combi-
nation of the entire civilized
world.
when those armies get home af-
ter peace has been declared and face
their desolate condition; when they
take up again the battle of civil life,
they will find themselves confronted
with burdens of Indebtedness which
will stagger them. 1t will not be a
matter of whether they will work
eight or 10 hours; they will be willing
to work II or 10, or any time that
will keep them living. They will turn
out their products and will ship them
across the ocean, which, with their
cheaper labor and longer hours, they
will be able to lay down at our door
much cheaper than we will be willing
to make them.
/ when those shipments land in this
country the war will begin. And that
is going to be our war for which we
/ have no preparation. That is the
menace we will have to face 1t will
overshadow any commercial war we
have known for the last three genera
tons, at least.
/ 1--WE need the best organization we
can have, for we will have to COM
pete against vast array of indus
| trial developers so obedient, so will
/ ing, so well trained, and contending
with something that is a matter of
I life and death to them, that they will
/ be willing to work for anything.
THAT is why we need a protective
\ tariff We must have laws, and men
to administer them, that will protect
our industries from a condition it will
be impossible to compete with under
! the Underwood law.
what we will have to face will be
simply REPETITION, only on a much
/ larger scale and of more vital i'm
portance to us, of what followed the
| Napoleonic war of 1915. That COM
mercial was was begun just as the
coming one will be started, by a pov
erty stricken people fighting for lifes
SuStenance.
Founders Forgotten.
I'm order to keep our infant indus
tries from being throttled it was nee
essary to raise our tariff with the sue
ceeding years. In this succession of
increases in customs there was a
countrywide agreement of its neces-
sity. This followed through the days
Of Jefferson and Jackson and Madi-
son. SO, apparently, the Democratic
party has forgotten what its founders
fought for, how they protected the
country from being ruined by unfair
commercial competition.
at was their determination to pro-
tect our industries, just as it is the
determination of Republicans today to
see to it that our factories and shops
are kept busy You must return the
Republican party to power before you
can accomplish this, for the transient
prosperity we are now enjoying will
cease with the cessation of hostilities
abroad"
In speaking of the situation in Ida

I'VE have in this state this year a

party which, l am sure, is the equal
if not the superior of any that has
ever been, nominated in the state OF
