DOWN BERLIN PEOPLE;
KAPP TO QUIT OFFICE
SAYS REPUBLICANS
ARE FOR EFFICIENCY
Chairman Hays of National Committee
Addressed Virginia State
Convention.

Roanoke, Va, March l7.-Declaring
that the Republican party stands first
for 'the honest, efficient and economl-
cal business administration of the
countrys affairs" Will H. Hays, chair
man OF the Republican national COM
mittee, in an address before the state
Republican convention here to-day,
pleaded for patriotism in peace as
well as war" and asserted that the
country has Slipped along under this
Democratic administration, without
any adequate thought of the problems
that would confront us until the shock
of peace was here, just as we did be-
fore we entered the war,
Outlining the principal things tor
which his party stands, Mr. Hays SAID;
Il suggest that above all things the
Republican party stands first for hon
est, efficient and economical business
administration of the country's affairs.
1t was formerly said that Honesty lls
the best policy as matter OF busi-
ness. Honesty is the best policy as
matter of morals In like manner
there is but one kind of successful pol
itics, of faithful, efficient, honest and
economical administration. The only
successful politics in the situation to-
day is to find out what is best for the
country and do it first We want more
men in politics for what they can give
and not what they can get.
II suggest the Republican party
stands for the development and execu-
tion of a plan for the reduction OF
taxes, with the repeal of taxes which
kill initiative and the spreading OF war
debt over large number of years.
II believe there shall be developed a
better relation between labor and cap
itaI. with Justice to both and with JUS
tice to the public, the third side OF the
triangle, which must not be forgotten
I'VE believe that there shall be an
administration of law and order every
where in the nation.
"Thc party shall measure its steps
forward by the new needs Of the ma
tion, with eyes always ahead, but with
its feet always on solid ground. +"
Asserting that there are two natural
inquiries from women new in politics,
what does the Republican party offer
the women? and What does the Repub-
lcan party stand for:" Mr.. Hays de-
clared:
"The Republican party offers the
women everything we offer the men.
"The only just rule for political
party" he added, SIS that the rights OF
participation in the management OF
the party's affairs must be and remain
equally sacred and sacredly equal. The
Republican women in the country con
stitute one half OF the party's member
ship. In many states this has long
been so. In the presidential campaign
Of 1920 it is my very earnest hope and
well founded Judgment that it shall be
so everywhere.
"There is to be no separate women's
organization created within the party,
except and only in those cases where
such an arrangement may be needed
temporarily as an efficient aid in the
complete amalgamation which is our
objective.
ITO the women and to men alike the
party offers the right OF political self
determination, and that Is the answer
to the second query, What does the
partv stand for
