the convention.
The Republicans Of Luna county,
n. NJ, in convention assembled do
hereby heartily re-affirm our al
legianee to the party that was born
"under the oaks" in the open air Of
freedom, more than half century
ago, and that has stood for the
highest and noblest principles in
American life from that day TO this.
The chief history Of the United
States is but record Of the deeds
Of our party.
We realize now, as never before,
the worlds great need Of Republican
craftsmanship.
This war Of nations must be won
by the allied powers, with "Old
Glory" at the head. II must be
speedily won. There must be no tide
Of victory, and it will take more
American arms to make that victory
secure. The blood OF our boys
'over there" has consecraled foreign
soil. They have unse'fishly given
their lives to make sure the freedom
Of the world, and il is our priceless
heritage to honor their memory and
to keep sacred the supreme sacrifice
they have made.
We repeat, the allied arms must
speedily triumph, and a peace estab-
lished that shall follow only over
whelming victory for the cause of
righteousness and everlasting defeat
to the beast Of Berlin and every
thing he represents. German auto
cracy must be annihilated and the
worlds affairs reconstructed on n
higher plane.
The Republican party is win
the-war-now party. We are in the
war and we can come out Of il only
as conquerors or conquered, victor
ious or dishonored; as an independ-
ent or a subject nation. Our lives,
our homes, our institutions, all that
Washington fought and Lincoln died
for are at stake. Our only way out
now is to fight il out for the simple
cause Of America and Americans,
We must, as Benjamin Franklin said,
hang together or hang separately"
The man who is in public or private
life subOrdinates this cause to any
other consideration, no matter what
or who fails in the full, devoted and
official performance Of his duty ia
the nation, is a traitor TO himself, his
family, the Republic and the right.
The American ideals will be copied
by the leading nations of the world
and 1t is up to us to make those
ideals worthy of emulation.
We must be prepared to nduet in
to civil life after this war is over
four million soldiers whose occupa.
tons have been abandoned to secure
word peace. This Herculean task
will require profound craftsmanship
and the united action of men. whose
principles, formulated into action,
have built the foundation of this Re.
public.
The Republican party laid the
solid foundation Of this great nation
Of ours,a nd must be given authority
to complete its superstructure.
Public affairs must be so admin
lstsred that no nation will again at
Temp word domination but all will
see the lasting benefits Of world co.
operation.
AS Republicans and citizens of the
great state Of New Mexico, we most
heartily commend the wise states
manship and patriotic loyalty to
duty Of United States Senator Albert
b. Fall, and pledge to do all in our
power to secure his reelection, in
order that his eminent services NAV
be retained at this critical period in
American history.
We desire 10 commend the wis,
and patriotic administration of Gov
ernor Washington E. Lindsey, and
ell Republican state officials.
We pledge our loyal support to al
Republican nominees in nation, state
and county, and will use all honor
able means to secure their election.
