Ol 1o,UuO for LenrOot.
 l Points Out Inconsistency l The president had given as his ob- Jection to Lenroot that the latter had , supported the MLemore resolution, a pre-war measure. Yet the president | had written letters to the Sixth h. l diRa district stating that the admin l lstfation desired the reelection of | tinly H. Gray, democrat. Mir. Gray had also voted for the MLemore | resolution. There too, the wishes of | the president were ignored and Gray was defeated by 1000 votes
 | It is the duty, said Mir. Hays, for | every republican to support the | president in every measure that | touches the war and that the re publican party would do.
 MT. Hays said further:
 The republican party is the party 1 or patriotism. It will strive with ev- cry means within its power to win 1 the War and to win the war now. l The Republican party heralded it's own birth by saving the life of the nation and from that hour to this moment II has been the party of patriotism, and from that hour to this moment II has been the party of patriotism, and in this supreme crisis it's patrio- uc loyal membership is giving to the l last of it's blood, and it's treasure, as patriotic Americans and will continue to strive, fight, give and die until vic torious American arms have forever ended the intolerabfe arrogance of that scientifically trained brutality; until We have a conclusive peace-by vlctory-and not by compromised bar gaining, and the world has been made sale for a home for our children's children.
 Vast Importance of Rule
 The governing of this country is the fruition of political activity The vast importance of this governing measures the like importance of the professions and performances of poli- tlcal parties. If We would preserve our institutions, let us see to the agencies which control them; and let us remember that we do not play politics for party pelf, but practice patriotic principles for progress and permanent prosperity.
 Political parties are not instruments for individuals to use for their per- sonal aggrandizement. Political par ties are the means by which thinking men and women promulgate and prac- tlce principles for the government of thelr own country, for the control Of the influences surrounding the place they call their home. Any man who thinks otherwise is not aware of the high privileges of his citizens. Any maa who expects or wants otherwise IS not in tune with the forces which control his present and the political party that will command the confid- ence that brings support is the party that understands this, it's purpose, and remembers it.
 The very large majority in this country believe in the principles of the Republican party. Men live and dle, but principles endure. The great principles of the Republican Party since the days of the Emancipation Proclamation have been right They are right now. The Republican Party does not play principles to win. It has advocated principles because they are right, and because Republicans believe in them, and we will not pros tltute these principles for perfunctory preferment. The great advocates of these principles have not been wrong these many years. They are as true as when their first practice built up the country. But we must look for ward, not backward. The Republi- can Party is the party of the future, else there is no use for the party. The needs of yesterday, my friends, are not all the needs of today; and the Republican Party shall continue to be the one instrument in this country to apply to new conditions and changing conditions the wisdom of experience and the efficiency of honest, zealous service.
 Rights of Individual
 l assert that there is but one pos- sible rule for political organization and that is that the rights of the in- dividuSls within the party to partici- pate in the management of the par tvs affairs shall be and remain equally sacred and sacredly equal There is no zone of twilight in the actions of a political party, nor in the conduct of it's organization. Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and no apology, excuse or subterfuge is per tinent.
 There are no yesterdays in Repub- lican politics. I don't care how a man voted in 1912, 1914, or 1916, nor his reasons for so doing. We are all one today; we have work to do for the good of the country and it takes all of us to do it. And I in sist that all who are engaged in this Iswork are entitled to some consider ation, the man who has not always voted with us and the man who has always voted with us because he may not have had any reason for doing otherwise. Above all things do recognize that the province of the position l occupy is to aid in laying plans which may result in the use of every honest means to elect candi- dates and not in any sense control the nominations.
 Every one knows there will be pol- tical activity. The Democratic party has been busy with its political ac- tivity for months, and l insist that all this political activity must be open, acknowledged, and of a char acter and on plane that needs no subterfuge
 More Involved Than Party
 All Republicans in the country, all those who ever voted the Republican ticket, all well-wishers of good gov ernment regardless of past party af- 1 filiations are urged to aid. Our policy is assimilation, and no elimination. There is far more involved in the matter than party success.
 The Republican Party stand for: First, to do everything in our power to win the war now. Second, for peace by victory and never a peace by compromise bargaining. Third, to prepare in sane manner to solve the immeasureable problems of re- construction and sail the ehartless seas that come after the war
 The third suggestion will be divided into many subdivisions. We must have a forward stepping as well as
