that In mind, the republican party
Twin have a forward stepping as well
as a forward looking program for la
Tor, for business and for the farmer.
Labor is our greatest national as
set In the present crisis labor is our
salvation, and the republican party is
the natural friend of labor. 1t was
republican protective tariff policies
that made the wages of American la
boring men the highest in the world
Today and in the future labor in this
country Is entitled to and must re-
ceive fair representation in all coun-
ellis of the nation.
For the sake of labor we must
combat the insidious growth of social
istic thought and draw the country
back to sane constitutional limita-
ton, away from demoralizing federal
ization, after the war. For the sake
of labor we must arbitrarily and in
stantly curb the lawless individual
Who goes about thinking only of him
self and whom he can destroy. Such
men are traitors. For traitors there
IS but one medicine-taken standing
against the wall. Let them have 1t.
But not as at Collinsville, III
Lynching, under any circumstances is
a crime. 1t Is an assault on our most
sacred institutions; it is an affront to
the accumulated wisdom of ages. II
can be justified on no grounds and
must be forever prevented in this
country. The fact that it exists in
isolated cases is seized upon by our
enemies for use against us. One eff
fectiVe way to discourage it Is the
prompt and vigorous use by the CEN
trail authority OF our constitutional
punishment for treason. They have no
lynchinss in France, but they have
frequent firing squads.
RepubIicanism Summed Up.
Now let me recapitulate: Q) The
republican party wants remedial leg
islation, wherever necessary, for the
laboring man. the farmer the business
man, but we stand with determine
ton against all undue extended fed
eralization. CO 1t wants men of ma,
tional and international vision to
conduct Americas affairs in congress
lS) 1t stands upright against disloyal-
ty, treason, lynching. We do not
want the slightest hesitation or sim
gle fractional measure on any of
them. ca It wants peace prepared
ness We shall strive for that first
on the stump. and then in congress.
The fact that the party in power re-
fused to prepare for war in 1914, Is
cid '16 has not lessened the support
CT all war measures in congress of
republicans who so strongly urged a
better previous preparation. Repub-
leans in this and the last congress
have given their votes, and often the
deciding votes, for the grant of every
power and all the money demanded
by the administration. In like man
ner shall every republican congress
man piVCIeu liiiS IAN support every
war measure. We shall continue in
the future as we have in the past. We
shall be forever there to press for
ward, to carry on.
Lastly and this Is also firstly. the
republican party will use every atom
Of strength, political and otherwise,
that it can muster to prevent any
peace that is not based on a definite
ind conclusive American victory in
the war We will not stand for any
compromise bargaining of principles
which would violate American rights
principles and honor, and make our
present sacrifices a sacrilege. We res
outely insist that our grandchildren
he not compelled to fight this fight
over again.
1.-The republican party will win. The
next congress will be republican. That
will not lessen, but will heighten the
prosecution of the war. Unjust and
unpatriotic efforts have been made to
