Says G. o. r. Is United Again.
Republicans Of New York:
bring you glad tidings from Maine to
| California, from Wisconsin to New
| Mexico. The Republican party in this
nation is reunited. God bless the
| boys who have come back-and God
| bless the boys who stayed at the
! hearthstone and kept the home fires
| burning, We have a work to do for
| the good of the country; it takes us
| all to do it, and with characteristic
| Republican, courage, intelligence and
vision we will proceed to the accom-
| plishm emit
''In this, the greatest of all crises
| our party, with the control of the
government in other hands, becomes
| the war party of the nation, insisting
| on the right of q full participation,
| giving to the last of our blood and our
| treasure, standing immovably against
| an inconclusive peace.
| I'VE regret that Allied officers have
| asked in vain for certain greatest
| American leaders and we insist that
| every possible efficient instrum ent in
| men and material which is availa bic
shall be used to aid in winning the
war, and that inefficiency shall be re-
| placed by efficiency wherever found !;
| and all of these things which we de-
mand of the party in power. we ir-
revocably pledge for ourselves.
1.-THE fact that the party in power
! refused to prepare for war in 1914
and 1915 has not lessened the support
| by Republicans in Congress who SO
| strongly urged it. The most unfair
and unpatriotic efforts in many quar-
ters for political purposes to prevent
the full participation by Republicans
in war activities have had no effect
| whatever on the Republican party S
patriotic and loyal membership in It's
giving to the last of it's blood and
| treasure And nothing can deter us
We will continue SO to give, to strive,
to fight and to die, until victorious
American arms have forever ended

l

Three Republican Principles.
THE Republican party stands to-
day for three things:
First to use every possible means
to win the war now.
Second, for a peace with victory
and never peace by a compromise
bargaining of principles which would
violate American rights, interests ant
honor. and make of our sacrifice {
sacrilege to be made again by ou1
. grandchildren.
Third for a sane preparation nov
for solution Of the problems i'm
n1ea surable In their completely ane
magnitude which will come after ths
war. We are as un-prepared To-
peace as we were for war. EVer1
country except America Is preparing
for peace.
We will establish policies which
once again will bind up the wound
of war, which will renew our prosper
ity, which will administer the affair
/, Of this government on a uound Ousl
. ness basis and which will enlarge on
| strength at home and abroad. WIFI
