New York, Feb. 19=The opening gun of the republican national cam paign was fired here tonight in a key note speech by Elihu Root at the un- official republican state convention in which he outlined the platform upon which he believed the republicans should go to the polls next November. MT. Root brought the assembled dele gates to their feet cheering time and again in his denunciations of the dem ocratic administration and especially in his references of what he termed the autocratic conduct of President Wilson.
 The much talked of possibility of a vigorous fight by the women delegates to have a member of their sex included in the "big four" who will represent New York in the national convention in Chicago did not materialize and the women were apparently satisfied with the appointment one of their num- ber- Mrs Arthur L. Livermore of Tonkers. as one of the alternate dele gates -at-large.
 The principal proposals put forward by Mir. Root were:
 Decentralization Of the executive powers which have made the president more autocratic than any soverigp in the civilized worId''
 Ratification of the Peace Treaty with Senate amendments long before the presidential elections"
 Reform of the League of Nations covenant by a congress of nations at the call of "a Republican president immediately after March 1. 1s21,' to establish the rule of public right rather than the rule of mere expedi- epcy"
 Rigid governmental economy and the 2 ioRtion of an executive budget. .
 Limitation of the right to strike at a point where it conflicts with self preservation of the community, es- tablishment of a labor tribunal with power to enforce it's mandates.
 Revision of the system of taxation which involves the tariff."
 America nization and the elimination of "a lot of Bolsheviki or Bolsheviki sympathizers" from public offices.
 Universal military training.

 More important than all.'' MT. Root said, lis the necessity that we shall re- store our Republican form ofsgovern- ment, with the liberty of the individual citizen preserved by limitations upon official power, and put an end to the dictatorship which we created, in order to carry on the war. By a series of statues unprecedented in scope and liberality, with singleness of purpose and patriotic devotion worthy of all praise, the American people conferred upon the President powers broader and more autocratic than were possessed by any sovereign in the civilized world Our capacity for effort, our fortunes our liberty of conduct, our lives, were freely placed at the disposal of an EX- ecutive whose authority was so vast that it's limits were imperceptible. The authority was exercised by the Presi- dent, by his heads of departments, his bureau chiefs, his government agents and his personal agents, to the full without question, because the people of America were ready for any sacri- flee to win the war.
 Peace has come, in fact, if not technically; but the war powers of the executive still continue. They should be brought to an end. It is not sim pie thing. for new conditions have been created which should be dealt with at the same time by new statutes adapted to the conditions of peace and subject to the limitations upon power of OUT Constitutional system.
 There is double immediate pur- pose to be served. One to restore the habit of freedom. It is dangerous for people to acquire the habit of bow= ing to power without limits. They soon become subservient, and ther character essential to freedom de generates. The other is to stop a mul- titude of interferences. ill-judgeC although well-meant, with the natura l course of business through which alon'
