Speech Of Acceptance

standard Of democracy q free
man, unfettered by promises
and happy in the conscious
ness Of untrammeled opportun-
ity to render a service"
He who turns away from
the tragedies and obligations
of the war, not consecrated to
} a sense of honor and of duty
which resists every base sug-
gestion of personal or political
expediency, is unworthy Of the
esteem of his countrymen."
Senator Harding's pledge of
} formal and effective peace
SO soon as a republican con-
gress can pass it's declaration,
means but one thing-a sep
arate peace with Germany"
This would be the most
} disheartening event in civili-
9ation since the Russians made
, their separate peace with
Germany and infinitely more
unworthy"
'"This plan would not only
be a piece Of bungling diplo-
} macy but plain, unauthorized
} dishonesty as WE'LL"

in plain words that we remain

war taxes"
> Federal taxation must be
heavily reduced and this will
be done at once if democrat

Annoying consumption taxes,
, now. unjustifed, should be re-
pealed:"
AS possible substitute for

''The public official who fails
to enforce the Law is an enemy
both to the constitution and to
The American principle of ma

Morals cannot easily be
produced by statute. The writ
Of Injunction should not be
abused. We need definite and
precise statement of policy as
20 what business men and
working men may do and may
not do by way of combination
and collective action. Neither
labor nor capital should at
any time take action that
would put in jeopardy the pub
lie welfare"
HFarming will not insure in
dividual effort unless profits,
all things considered. are equal
to those in" other activities"
Multiply your hometown

can without loss of efficiency
be reduced to a maxium of
four billion dollars, including
, sinking fund and interest on
the national debt" with adop-
ton Of a budget system.
The discourtesy to the
president is an affair of p0lit-

make it odious. AS we'll might
