 Ne are unreservedly. devotealy, wbeIehe8rjedly for the United States. That is the rallying point for all Am. edeans. stand for the unainebmg maintenance Of all American rights on lsn6 sHa sea
 We d6nceuce all plots and conspir. acles in the interest of any foreign nation Utterly intelerable is the use P
 We demand adequate protection on bath OFF Western and East m coasts. We demand tHaroughness and ealcl- oney Tn both arms Of the service. It sesms to be plain that our regular army E too small We are too great a country to require of our citizens who are eneaged in peaceful Feeatlans the sort of military serYics to which they are now called.
 The dealings of the administration with Mexico constitute q confused chapter of bluHders. If is q record which cannot be examined without a profound sense of humiliation.
 The republicans stand for the safe guarding of our economic indepen- dnce. for the development Of Ameri- can industry, for the maintenance of American standards of living.
 We make common cause in this country not for a few but for all; and our watchword must be eo-opera- tion not exploitation.
 The granting of suffrage to women is inevitable.
 Our opponents promised economy, but they have shown reckless ex- travagance. It is time we had fiscal reform.
