Il may be pardoned IL / draw on
my experience Of over seven years in
an administrative position 70 state
unequivocally that the Government
machinery requires reorganization.
The system, especially since the war, }
has become antiquated. No mere
budget system, much as we need
that will correct the faults. First
of all the methods OF the legislative
branch OF the National Government,
especially in the Upper House, re-
quire drastic changes. 1t is upon the
Congress that every executive de-
partment must wait. Appeals to the
House and Senate in the last session
fell on apparently deaf ears.

THE WORLD.
Americas opportunity Is at hand.
We can lead the world by a great ex-
ample, we can prove this nation a hv-
ing, growing thing. with policies that
are adequate 20 new conditions.
"ln these chiefly let it be our
aim to build up, not to tear down,
Our opposition is to the Things
which once existed, in order that
they may never return. We OPP
pose money in politics; we OPP .

commodtiesj we oppose the sa-
loon -bossed city; we oppose star
walton wages; we oppose rule by
groups or cliques. In the Same
way we oppose a mere period of
coma in our national life.

OF the people, TO continue to help
as best 1 am able If It is the faith
which is in me that makes me very
certain that America will choose the
path of progress and set aside the
doctrines of despair the whisperings
of cowardice, the narrow road to

of our land keep our feet on the
broad road that leads to a better to-
morrow and give TO us strength. to

"The Republican Party since 1912"
said Mr.. Cummings in his notifica-
tion speech, has been the party of
destructive criticism. 1t has made a.
speciality OF fault finding. In peace,
in war and In our relations with
other countries, the settled purpose Of
Republican leadership has been to
make trouble, irrespective of the
merits OF any problem involved. It
has persistcntly sought to increase
Irritation and discomfort rather, than
TO allay them From every element
of discord, and even of sedition, Il
has sought to draw some resultant
of partisan advantage. It's purpose
has been and still Is, Reputation and
