Standardization

Asiatic immigrants is sound, and
should be maintained.
Naturalization
There is urgent need Of improve
ment in our naturalization law. No
alien should become a citizen until
he has become genuinely American
and tests for determining the aliens
fitness for American citizenship
should be provided for by law.
We advocate in addition the indie
pendent naturalization Of married
women. An American woman should
not lose her citizenship by marriage
to an alien resident in the United
States.
Free Speech and Alien Agitation
We demand that every American
citizen shall enjoy the ancient and
constitutional right of free speech.
free press and free assembly and
the no less sacred right Of the quail
flied voter to be represented by his
duly chosen representatives; but no
man may advocate resistance to the
law, and no man may advocate vto-
lent overthrow of the government.
Aliens within the jurisdiction of
the United States are not entitled of
right to liberty of agitation direct
ed against the government or Amer
lean institutions.
Every government has the power
to exclude and deport these aliens
who constitute a real menace to it's
peaceful existence. But in view of
the large number of people affected
by the immi grafton acts and in view
of the vigorous malpractice of the
departments of justice and labor, an
adequate public hearing before com
petent administrative tribunal should
be assured to all.
Lynching
We urge congress to consider the
1xyT1 h
ing in this country, which continues
to be a terrible blot on our Amer
lean citizenship.
Law ana Order
The equality of all citizens under
the law has always been a policy of
the Republican party.
Without obedience to law and main
tenance of order, our American in
stitutions must perish. Our laws
must be impartially enforced and
speedy justice should be secured.
Public Roads and Highways
We favor liberal appropriations in
cooperation with the states for the
construction of highways, which will
bring about a reduction in Transport
tation costs, better marketing of
farm products, improvement in rural
postal delivery, as well as meet the
needs of military defense.
In determining the proportion of
federal aid for road construction
among the states, the sums lost in
taxation to the respective states by
the setting apart of large portions
of their area as forest reservations,
should be considered as controlling
factor.
Conservation is a Republican pol
icy. 1t began with the passage Of
the reclamation act signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt The recent passage
of the coal, oil and phosphate leas-
ing bill by a Republican congress
and the enactment of the water pow
err bill fashioned in accordance with
the same principle, are consistent
landmarks in the development of the
sources. We denounce the refusal
of the president to sign the water
power bill passed after ten years of
controversy. The Republican party
part in saving our national forests
and in the effort to establish ma
tional forest policy. Our most press
ing conservation question relates
to our forests. We are using our
forest resources faster than they are
raise unduly the cost of forest prod
ucts to consumers and especially
farmers, who use more than half
the lumber produced in America and
in the end to create timber famine.

Reclamation
We favor a fixed and comprehen-
sive policy of reclamation to increase
national wealth and production.
We recognize in the development
of reclamation through federal &C
ton with it's increase of production
and taxable wealth a safeguard for
the nation.
We commend to congress a policy
to reclaim lands and the establish
ment Of a fixed national policy of
development of natural resources IN
relation to reclamation through the
now designated government agen-
cies.
The Service Men
We hold in imperishable remem-
brance the Valor and the patriotism
of the soldiers and sailors of Amer
lea who fought in the great war for
human liberty, and we pledge our
selves to discharge to the fullest the
obligations which a grateful nation
justly should fulfill, in appreciation
of the services rendered by it's de-
Tenders on sea and on land
Republicans are not ungrateful.
Throughout their history they have
shown their gratitude toward the
nations defenders. Liberal legisla-
ton for the care of the disabled
and infirm and their dependents has
