necessity therefor arise, and the
right of such patriotic criticism
should constantly be defended; but
we demand that the eNigencies OF
the war shall not be perverted to
the construction and preservation
of objects of partisan politics. 1t
has proved to be a national catam-
itv that the party in power neglect
ed to prepare for war, although
urged to do so by Republican lead
ers in Congress. 1t has been shown
that such neglect and refusal and
want of foresight has unneceSSaT-
ily prolonged the war and has cost
the world thousands in lives and
billions in money.
To all our American soldiers and
sailors, and to all persons engaged
IN naval and military service Of
the United States and its Allies, as
well as those persons engaged IN
the work of the Red Cross, the
Young Mems Christian Association
and the knights of Columbus and
kindred organizations and instltu-
tions we pledge our undlminshed
whole-hearted patriotic support.
The Republican party of this
state gives unstinted praise and en-
couragement to the patriotic Wo-
men of this state and of the United
States, who are carrying the bur-
den of necessary preparations tor
our fighting forces and have even
given their service in all kinds OF
labor, whether it be in the Rec
Cross, munition factory or the un
ceasing labor which they are per
forming in connection with thell
domestic duties.
The Republican party of this
country has been the party of con
structive legislation since its crea
ton, and to the solution of tn
many economic problems that vii
come after the war, we believe tina
men in sympathy with the progres
and ideals of the Republican part
are best suited to frame that legis
lation which will renew our pros
perity, administer the affairs o
government with the gratest econ
omy and maintain and continue tn
relations existing between our A
lies and ourselves.
We believe, after the war, in re
TURNING property that has bee
taken for war purposes to its oriG
inal owners, and we pledge our n
resentatives in Congress to sue
measures as will make this effet
tive, and to see that the owners al
adequately compensated for any il
jury to or depreciation of the
property.
In order to bring about full ha
mony and coordination as b
tween the two great contributir
factors in the creation Of wealt
labor and capital, full recognitic
of their equities is pledged by tt
Republican party. We therefor
pledge our efforts to the end tn
such constructive legislatio
founded upon the science of eco
omics, shall be enacted as shs
result in the fair division of SUI
wealth as may in the future be CT
ated by the joint labor Of these ty
great forces.
To the welfare of the farmer al
the solution of the problems tn
confront him, that he may recei
adequate COMPENSATION for the 81
vice he renders to the communi
we pledge our sincere and earnt
efforts.
We realfirm our belief in the p
tective tariff. This policy of t
Republican party has been t
greatest benefit to the country
developing its resources, diversi
ing our industries and protect
our wOrkmen against competiti
thus establishing for wage earn
an American standard of livi
The many new industries crea
during the war should hereafter
protected by such tariff as will +
vent foreign competition from {
troyin@ their integrity or $
cess. We believe that in the per
Of readiustment following this '
there will be greater need of
application of the protective po
than ever before in our hist
and that such legislation can |
be done by the Republican part
