In 1851 the Republican party stood
for the Union. As it stood for the
Union of States. it now stands for an
united people. true to American ideals

To the government and to the flag of
the United States. We believe in Ameri-
can policies az home and abroad.
We declare that We believe In and
win enforce the protection of every
American citizen In all the rights Ne

and abroad, by land and sea These
rights. witch. in violation of the spe-
cific promise Of their party made at
h.itimors in isl2, the Democrats
have failed to defend. we will unflnch-
inRly maiatatn.
We desire peace. the peace of Justice
and right. and believe In maintaining
straight and honest neutrality be-
tween the belligerents in the great
war in Europe. We must perform all
our duties and insist upon all our
without favor. We believe that peace
and neutrality as well as the dignity
and influence of the United States can
not nc. be pre.ersed by shifty enpedient,s; ,s;
language. by armed bands of despera-
does led by self-seeking, conscienceless

Wilson lnte1Gerenee Desssseed.
We express our horror and indigna-
uon at the outrases which have been
and are being perpetrated by these
bandits upon American men and wom-
en- who were or are in Mexico by invi-
tation Of the laws and of the govern
ment Of that country, and whose rights
to security of person and property are
guaranteed by solemn, treaty obliga-
tions.
We denounce the indefensible meth
ods of interference employed by this
administration in the Internal affairs
Of Mexico and refer with shame to it's
failure to discharge the duty of this
country as next friend to Mexico. it's
duty to other powers who have relied
upon US as such friend, and its duty to
our citizens in Mexico, In permitting
the continuance of such conditions:
first, by failure to act promptly and
firmly. and second by lending its in
fluence to the continuation of such
conditions through recognition OF one
of the factions responsible for these
outrages.
We pledge our aid in restoring order
and maintaining peace in Mexico. We
promise to our citizens on and near
our ,,n.lS border, and to It those in Mexico.

countries of Latin America.
Philippines.
We renew our allegiance to the
Philippine policy inaugurated by Nc
kinley, approved by Congress and con-
sistently carried out by Roosevelt
and Taft. Even in this short time It has;
enormously improved the material and
social conditions of the islands. given
the Philippine people a constantly in
creasing participation in their govern

still greater benefits the future.
We accepted the responsibility of
the islands as duty to civilization and
the Filipino people. To leave with our
task half done would break our
pledges. injure our prestige among
nations and imperil what has already
been accomplished

Expatriation.
We reiterate our unqualified ap-
proval of the action taken in December,
1911, by the President and Congress to

absolute right of expatriation and pre-

Protection of the Country.
In order to maintain our peace and
make certain the security of our peo-
pie within our own borders. the coun-
try must have not only adequate. but
thorough and dcomplete national defense
ready for any emergency. We must
have a sufficient and effective regula:
army and provision for ample re-
serves. already drilled and disciplined
who can be called at once to the colors
when the hour of danger comes.
We must have a navy so strong and
well-proportioned and equipped, SO
thoroughly ready and prepared that nu

and effect landing in force on either
our western or our eastern coast
To secure these results we must ha We
a coherent and continuous policy of
national defense. which even in thes ;
perilous days the Democratic party has
utterly failed to develop but which we
promise to give to the country.
Tariff.
The Republican party stands now,
always has in the fullest sense for the
policy of tariff protection to American
industries and American labor. and
does not regard an anti-dumping pro-
vision as an adequate substitute. Such
protection should be reasonable in
amount but sufficient to protect ade-
quately American industry and Ameri
can labor, and be so adjusted as to
