certain the rights Of free government
in the world we have Republic to pre-
serve il this country, and that we are

Bolshevik syncopation."
Mr.. HayS's letter is regarded as a

policy for the campaign Of 1920.
1T is with much satisfaction" says
Chairman Hays, that l note the evil
dence of appreciation on the part Of
New Jersey Republicans of the impor-
tance OF your state election next
month. It is difficult to overestimate
the Importance of Republican activities
TODAY and until after the 1920 election
This is not because Of any desire
for 4 mere partisan victory, but be-
cause Republican success is the most
essential element in the great effor;
which all countryloving citizens must
feel it necessary to make to preserve
our institutions in this nation.
One Great Ultimate Object
THE Republican party, during the
war, determined its every act abso-
lutely by how it could contribute most
TO the sum total of war good and in
the trying times now ahead, the party
has one great ultimate objective, and
that is to measure our acts so that
every effort made everywhere by the
party shall be definite contributions
to the country's welfare.
This IS no time for little things
We have no time for petty jealouses
carping criticisms, pullings or haul
lngs, whether between ourselves OF
against the opposition. Any local diff
fcrences, any former factional diff
cuties and all minor issues are, OF
course, lost sight of in this great su-
preme endeavor to make and keep con-
dtions righ. in this country

councils Of the nation. We will have
Just remedial legislation for the bet
terment OF this important group of our
population at all times, not only be-
