found gratitude to them. The ex-

preston caused by falling price.

a square deal for all. the basic
principles of republicanism, and we
demand that the government deal
firmly with all agitators who show
themselves opposed to our funda-
mental form of republican govern
ment. We point with pride to the
present prohibition law upon the
statute books by republican !egisla-
tion and we regard its ''bone dry"
provision as necessary to practical
and enforceable statute
