special Despatch 10 THE Sun.
Boston. Aug. 27.--A ringing call for
patriotism during the trials of the early
era Of peace-the same whole souled,
magnificent patriotism shown during
time OF war--was made by Will II. Hays,
chairman OF the Republican National
Committee, at a big rally of Republl-
cans at Norumbega Park to-day. Hays
said the present is no time for petty
hearers to face the problems Of the
country fearlessly and periodically.
with only the countrys welfare at heart.
The speaker predicted sweeping VIC
tory by the Republican party at the
coming election and expressed the con-
vlctlon that the people everywhere are
looking to the Republican party las the
country's only means of salvation m
the intricaciee OF the problems, inn
measuT able In complexity and magni-
tude, that are ahead"
An ircessant downpour OF rain did
not ~dampen the ardor of 1000 of the
faithful who were at the park to hear
Hays and other noted speakers. Hays
was greeted with tumultuous applause.
Urges CooIidEe's Reelection.
After prais ng Gov. Coolidge of Mas
achusetts and urging his reelection
Hays said in part:
II plead for a patriotism in peace as
we'll as lin war. l insist that we as
Americans have not merely that patriot
ism born of extremities, which burns in
the souls of men only. when their country
is in danger, but the patriotism OF good
citizensh y, at the Preside. the plough.
the mart, in low places and in high
places. In season and out Of season let
US have the patriotism which moves men
TO make their eountry's welfare their own
business and n prosaic times of peace
interest themselves continually In the
practical politics OF their community
Good government Is possible In no other
way.
II have an abiding faith that there
will be an awakened sense OF civic duty
as one OF the by-products of this war
Hundreds OF thousands OF men and
women who had no inclination and
thought they had no time to take the
slightest interest in their Government
arose in the most splendid spirit and
unselfshly carr ed,the burden OF the va
work. II some small part of the same
interest in their country can be main
tained. some small part Of the time they
have been giving Is still given by them
In thought and action to the business OF
their country. II will bring to the situa-
ton an impetus for untold good.
Most earnestly urge that this great
new value. this tremen dous national as
set. which has lately been developed
shall not be lost. I urge that this army
of men and women. who have been the
splendid war workers in every corner OF
the country. now realize that they have
a duty In peace. as we'll as in war. that
their country needs their continuing in
terest. and this continuing interest they
owe to their country's welfare
Equal Justice for All.
1.-The way all creeds and classes arose
is the greatest vindication Of our insti.
tutions. and Just as the worth of all
creeds and classes was proved in the
countrys emergency, Just SO the Govern.
| ment must function equally for all
creeds and classes-for little children
for social betterment, for economic JUS
| tice. for the rights OF labor, for the
rights OF capital, for the rights OF the
farmer. for the rights of all, for the
rights OF right at all times and places.
This is no time for little things
Just as during the war period, so now
as We approach these problsms we have
no time for petty jealousies. carping
criticisms, pullings and haul!ngs, but
fearlessly, in a spirit of patriotism, with
our eyes solely on the country's vel
fare. the Republican party accepts the
commission given 1t by the electorate
of the people last November, and will
solve the problems.
THE Republican party will continue
to be the instrument in this country
to apply to new conditions and chang
ing conditions the wisdom of expert
ence and the efficacy OF honest, zealou,
service. There Is no doubt about oul
complete victory. Everywhere the
people are looking to the Republican
party as the country's only means o.
salvation in the intricacies OF the prob
lens, immeasurable in complexity and
! magnitude, that are ahead
