which in all fairness they are entit-
led, We must have Just, remedial
Legislation for the betterment of this
great mass of our population at all
times, not only because It is their
due, but also that by justice always
we can prevent insidious criminal
influences of unlawful organizations
taking hold in the ranks of real la
Dor. Against such criminal influen-
ces we irrevocably pledge the fullest
exercise of all our lawful powers.
We commend labor for its support
of the war and its extraordinary eff
forts to produce those things essen
tial to the success of the war. And
we should particularly declare that
we recognize the necessity upon the
conclusion of this war OF a wider,
more tolerant program for labor bas-
ed upon a wider and broader spirit
of cooperation between labor and
capital.
For Farmers Welfare
Just as vigorous and thorough
shall be our efforts to make certain
fer the business of the country that
opportunity and announcement
which will insure Its development and
the country depends.
To the welfare of the farmer and
the solution of the problems which
confront him, we pledge our most
sincere and earnest efforts. Greater
and greater grows the Importance of
land development and the welfare of
those on whom that burden rests;
and more and more it is apparent
| that the difficulties incident thereto
are not being met and that adequate
preparation is not being made for
the future.
We commend also the unusual
and extraordinary efforts under most
adverse circumstances put forth by
the farmers and agriculturlsts of this
country to produce the necessary food
to sustain the nation and our soldiers
in arms. The loyalty of the American
farmer In this crisis should have the
unstinted commentator of the Re-
publican party And we declare un-
mistakably that If the government
/ Is to fix the price of wheat or other
staple articles of agriculture 1t should
tx the price of all articles which en-
ter into the production of those
things. For that purpose we pledge
the best brains and heart of the Re-
publican party.
Pledge Pro-AmeFfcam Candidates
/ Our candidates must be and we
| pledge that they shall be. men who
are supremely pro-American, men
who will give our all for the most
/ vigorous prosecution of the war, and
/ Will strive Internationally for peace
with victory
Our candidates must be, and we
pledge that they shall be, men OF the
highest ideals, with vision of the
country's mission. and with a knowl-
edge of affairs and with experience
commensurate with their responsible
ties. We are as unprepared for
peace as we were for war. and our
candidates will he men with their
eyes ever ahead. but with their feet
ever on solid ground
For Protective Tariff
We reafiirm our belief In the pro-
tcctive tariff. This policy of the Re-
publican party has been of the great
est benefit to the country, developing
! our resources, diversifying our i'm
dustries and protecting our working
men against competition with cheaper
labor abroad, thus establishing for
our wage earners the American STAN
dard of living. In these times Of war.
VIXEN larger revenue Is needed than
ever before. we contend that q rea-
isonahle amount of II could be we'll
ia sed from a protective tariff. We
also believe that. in the period of re-
adjustment that must follow when
ill., war i@over. there will be great
er need of the protective policy than
ever before in our history, in order
To protect all our Industries. and the
a merican farmers, and the American
workingman alike.
