alien should become n citizen until
he has become genuinely American,
and tests for determining the aliens
fitness FOR American citizenship should
be provided for by law.
Free Speech and Alien Aoitators.
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 qualified
voter to be represented by his duly
chosen representatives but no man
may advocate resistance to the law,
ana no man may advocate violent over
throw of the government.
Public Roads and Highways.
We favor liberal appropriations In
cooperation with the states for the
construction of highways which will
bring about n reduction In Transports
tion costs, better marketing of farm
products, Improvement in rural postal
delivery, as well as meet the needs
Of military defense.
Reclamation.
We favor fixed and comprehensive
policy of reclamation To increase ma
tional wealth and production.
We recognize I'm the development of
reclamation through federal action
with its increase of production and
taxable wealth safeguard for the ma
ton.
We commend TO congress policy to
reclaim lands and the establishment
of Il fixed national policy of develop
Of
TO reclamation through the now desig-
mated government agencies.
The Service Men.
We hold in imperishable remen-
brance the valor and the patriotism Of
the soldiers and sailors of America
who fought in the great war for human
liberty, and we pledge ourselves to dis
charge to the fullest the obligations
which IA grateful nation justly should
fulfill, in appreciation of the services
rendered by it's defenders on sea and
on land.
Civil Service.
We renew our repeated declaration
that the civil service law shall he
thoroughly and honestly enforced and
extended wherever practicable.
Postal Service.
We condemn the present admins
tration for its destruction of the eff
cheney of the postal service, and the
telegraph and telephone service when
controlled by the government. and for
its failure to properly compensate EN-
ployees whose expert knowledge Is
essential TO the proper conduct of the
affairs of the postal system. We com
mend the Republican congress for the
enactment of legislation increasing the
pay of postal employees, who. up To
that time. were the poorest paid In
the government service.
Woman Suffrage. 49, =,
We welcome women into full parti-
cipation In the affairs Of government
and the activities OF the Republican
party. We earnestly hope that Re

IL So Important Ia the welfare of DOR
country.
Educational and Health.
We indorse the principle of federal
aid 10 the states for the purpose of
vocational aud agricultural training.
The public health activities OF the
federal government are scattered
through numerous departments and
bureaus, resulting In incfficlency, dup
LEGATION and extravaganza. We advo-
cate n greater Capitalization of The
federal functions, and, In addition,
urge the better coordination of the
work Of The federal. state and local
health agencies.
The Republican party stands for n
federal child labor law and for It's
rigid enforcement. If the present law
be found unconstitutional or incffec-
tive. We shall seek other means to
enable congress to prevent The evils
OF child labor.
Women have special problems OF
employment which make necessary
special study. We commend congress
for the permanent establishment OF
the women's bureau in the United
States department OF labor Ia serve
as II source Of Information 10 the states
and to congress.
The principle of equal pay for equal
service should be applied throughout
all branches OF the federal govern
mcnt In which women are employed.
Mexican Policy.
We should not recognize any Mex
lean government unless II be re-
spOnsible government, willing and able
10 give sufficient guarantees that the
lives and property of American cit
liens are respected and protected,
that wrongs will he promptly cor.
rectcd and just compensation will be
made for injury sustained. The Re
publican party pledges itself to n con
sistcnt firm and effective policy to-
wards Mexico that Shall enforce re-
spect for the American flag and that
shall protect the rights Of American
citizens lawfully in Mexico to security
Of life and enjoyment of property in
accordance with established interna-
tional law and our treaty rights

/ acceptance of such mandate would

maelstrom OF European quarTels.
