with my ideas as to what that plank

Thorough preparedness in all our
activities.
A navy and merchant marine second

Education and Americanization Of the
ignorant and foreign born.

Dry Amendment Will Be De-
Gliding Factor in Election

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: This letter is not written in
competition with the others which you
will receive in the mail with it. My
purpose is merely to advocate a plank
for the Republican platform to fill
void, an uncovered section of that plat
form. | refer to an prohibition
plank. The party should come out de-
cidedly against prohibition. Thousands
of good Republicans are being alien
ated because they think that the Re-
publican party is for prohibition. In
deed, they have good enough reasons
for so thinking. the attitude of the
party being calculated not to ALLEVIATE
the prohibition vote.
l say count that vote lost to the
party-it is, in any event-and enroll
double its number Of ti-prohibtion
voters, besides retaining those Repub-
licans Who may normally be counted on
to support the party, but who will in
the present issue vote the Democratic
or independent or whatever ticket
comes out against prohibition. Their
numbers are multitude and they will
decide the next election.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l think the idea Of obtaining
from Republicans of all shades and
opinion individual ideas with respect
to proposed planks for q Republican
platform, is excellent. 1t will give the
committee on platform mass of
material for study, of the kind which
will reflect the trend of thought of
Republicans. In the end this will
make for party solidarity
There are many Republicans who
appreciate the opportunity for the ex-
preston Of their views, and The
Tribune is providing just the kind Of
a medium that is wanted at this time.
For the purpose of your campaign.
I offer the following for the Republi-
can national platform:
We solemnly warn the country
against varied suggestions for re-
construction of our governmental
institutions, constantly advanced for
the solution of problems Of human
suffering. The founders of Ameri-
can nationality built upon the
eternal principles of unalienable
rights, including life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
Our people always should remem-
ber their great national traditions,
hallowed by the supreme sacrifice Of
the patriots who conserved those
blessed heritages FOR us.
We renew our utmost abiding faith
in our form of government, and in
the words Of the first leader Of the
Republican party, we pledge our
selves "to preserve, protect and de-
fend it,"
We urge the education of all the
inhabitants Of our country in its
glorious history and advocate the
reconstruction of the American ma
tional spirit of Washington, Lincoln
and Roosevelt.

Strikes in Vital Industries
While We regard the rights OF
collective bargaining and of strike
as generally conceded to labor,
these rights must be curbed wher-
ever they interfere with the social
welfare. Therefore, in the So
called vital industries (railroads,
coal mines, etc.), and in all de-
partments of government, the
right Of strike must be given up.
In return, the government pledges
itself to see that the employees in
these industries shall receive not
only living wage, but wage
equal to their Importance, individ-
ually, in the industry. Leonard p.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In response to your request for
planks here is one that concerns 49,
100000 Americans. What policy or at
titude is the Republican party going to
take as regards the enforcement Of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments :?
This undoubtedly is Republican year.
There are other years to come and
there are to be Congressional cleo
tions. With the present unrest and
large colored vote in Northern and
Western districts, the Republican party
can we'll afford to repeat its time
honorcd platitudes in regard to these

Bolshevism and Mexican Trou.
BILE Should Be Given Vent

To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Socialism has burst its shell.
Such issues as Mexico and Russia
should not be hindered, but helped. Did
external pleasure effect the French
Revolution? Would the spirit of
Washington's time have died, even
without foreign help?
We should cast off the worn out
cloak of provincialism. The false mask
OF Pan -Gcrmanism And in it's stead
For who can tell but that the arrogance
of American prosperity will not in the
future outgrow the bounds and aims
of pan Germanism. And in its stead
let us usher in reciprocity and the

will but aggravate the situa-
ton, while a promise to uphold
the right of every Individual
without partiality and to the
best interests of the majority
will show that the Republican
party means to get at the root
OF the matter and to attack the
causes of the situation rather
than it's results.
Definite Policy Essential
The Republican party must
not favor capitalism or labor.
but must stand for cooperation
OF these two forces for the good
Of the majority. 1t fearlessly
must attack institutions of
either class that work to the
disadvantage of the general
welfare. A clear and definite
stand is essential, for thousands
OF people-if a party befogs the
issues, refuses to state it's prin-
ciples and does not stand for
progress-feel that it is better to
movS although they may not
teel too sure in what direction,
rather than to stand still or
retrogress. Our workmen do
not wish to join socialistic, COM
munistic parties, but they will
be driven to do so if we cannot
show them that we stand for
something higher and better.
We are facing crisis in the
history of the country. 1t must
be met, and the issue-that of
the life or death Of American
ideals and institutions-must be
set clearly before the people of
the United States.

I0-day's Prize Letter

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The problem before the
republican party to-day is the
drawing up of a platform that
will clearly set forth a justif-
cation Of the principles ON which
1T is built, and definite means
of upholding those principles.
Its fundamental and UNDERLYING
Idea must be a strong belief in
the ideals and institutions Of
this country and that form
of representative government
which we have maintained since
the ratification of the Constitu-
ton. 1t is by showing the
superiority Of our ideals and in
stltutlons that we must combat
Bolshevism and communism.
and this issue must be clearly
met.
Deportation a Makeshift
We cannot effectually fight
communism by expelling duly
elected representatives of
minority party; that is trav-
esty on the principles of repre-
sentative government; nor can
we gain any real victory by
limiting the freedom of speech,
of the press or of assemblage.
Deporting "Reds" temporarily
may free the country of dan
gerous influence, but it does not
solve any problems. We must
allay the unrest by showing the
American people that the party
which seeks to control their
government is progressive and
determined to uphold American
institutions because it knows
that these institutions are right.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: This contest will promote dis
cussion among Republicans in their
homes and among their friends and
awaken interest in party policies. If
they attempt to formulate their ideas
in planks for the platform it will lead
to clear thinking and the solution of
over in purposeless conversation. So,
regardless of whether the persons ac-
tually enter their contributions for the
prize contest, it will be an excellent
thing for the political world in general
