Lauds Republican Senate
"The proposed league Of nations
without reservations as submitted by
the president to the senate met
with the deserved attention from the
republican senator's" Governor Coo!
idge said. .'Our party, the record OF
it's members In the senate and by
the solemn declaration of its plat
form, by performance and by prom
Use, approves the principle of agree
ment among nations to preserve peace
and pledges itself TO the making or
such an agreement, preserving such
independence and rights as will meet
every debt America owes to humanity.
This language is broad, not ex-
elusive, but inclusive. The Republl-
can party is not narrow enough to
| limit itself to one idea, but wise
and broad enough to provide for the
adoption of the best plan that can be
devised at the time Of action.
Praise Warren g.
"Your presence tells me-" said Gov
ernor Coolidge, in pening his ad-
dress, "of leader and Il cause. a
| leader in Warren &. Harding, the
united choice OF the party, states
man of ability, seasoned by expec-
ience, a fighting representative OF
the common aspirations of his fellow
citizens, wise enough to seek counsel,
great enough to recognize merit, and
in all things, a stalwart American:
the cause of our common country as
declared in the platform of the Re
publican party, the defense OF our in
stitutioNs, from every assault, the
restoration of constitutional govern

order. the relief Of economic dis

humanitarian laws, the defense OF
the rights Of our citizens everywhere,
the rehabilitation of this nation in
the estimation of all peoples, under
an agreement, meeting our every
duty, to preserve the peace of the

The First Duty
mo one in public life can be
oblivious to the organized efforts
to undermine the faith of our people
in their government, foment discord
aggravate industrial strife, stifle pro
duction and ultimately stir up revo
luton. 4 The first duty of the
government is to repress them, pun
ishing willful violations Of law. Turn
ing the full light Of publicity on al
abuses of the rights of assembly
it is believed to be the first duty
of the public and press to expose
false doctrines, and answer seditiouS
arguments. American institutions ca;
stand discussion and criticism, only
If those who know bear for them
If such repression and such testi
mony should be forthcoming, the uni
form may come to a full realization
that these seditious efforts are moi
for their welfare, but for their com
plete and economic and political de
struction-the greatest task of ma
ton at present time is to be rescued
from all the reactions of the war
The chief task that lies before III
is to repossess the people of thell
government and their property. We
want to be on a peace basis, because
it is the fundamental basis. Unles:
the government and property of th'
nation are in the hands of thhe peo
pie, and there to stay, as their per
manent abiding place, self govern

, Touches on Retrenchment
"The great conflict has disturbed
our political conditions, it has caused
an upheaval in our economic rela
tions. The mounting price of al
sorts OF commodities, have put I
well nigh unbearable burden on every
home. Much of this is beyond relic
from law, but the forces of the gov
ernment can and must afford con
siderable remedy.
The High Protective Tariff
1.-THE most obvious place to begi,
retrenchment is by eliminating tn
extravaganza of the government it
self. That great greed and priv
ate extravaganza, the excess profits
tax, should be revised and recours

of raising revolution, for it is volun
tary in effect, and taxes consump
ton rather than production.
"a revision of taxation must be &C
complished with a reduction of tina
private extravaganza which the re
. turns from luxury taxes reveal q
surprising all comprehension.
Would Punish Profiteer
There has been profiteering.
