d Candidate to Be Supremacy Loyal

pledge that they shall be, men whC
are supremacy pro-American, men who
will give our all for the most vigorous

Our candidates must be, and we
pledge that they shall be, men of the
highest ideals, with vision of the coun-
try s mission, and with knowledge of
affairs and with experience common
surate with their responsibilities. We
are as unprepared for peace as we were
for war, and our candidates will be men
with their eyes ever ahead, but with
their feet ever on solid ground.
We reaffirm our belief in the pro-
tectve tariff. This policy of the Re
publian party has been of the great
est benefit. to the country, developing
our resources, diversifying our indus
tries and protecting our workingmen
against competition with cheaper labor
abroad, thus establishing for our wage
earners the American standard of liv-
ing. In these times of war, when
larger revenue is needed than ever be-
fore, we contend that a reasonable
amount of it could be well raised
from a protective tariff We also be-
lieve that, in the period of readiust-
ment that must follow when the war is
over, there will be a greater need of
the protective policy than ever before
in our history, in order to protect all
our industries, and the American farm
er, and the American workingman
alike
