Those portions Of the tentative
plank rinting to the peace resolution,
Mexico and Aremnia, follow
Approve Peace Resolution
Peace Resolution: I'VE approve the
action Of the republican party in
congress in passing resolution to
repeal the declaration OF a state Of
war with Germany which would
have brought peace and relieved of
the burden Of war measures, and
we condemn the presidents veto Of
the resolution.
Wilson Again Condemned
Mandate Of Armenia. we condemn
President Wilson for asking congress
to empower him to accept man
date for Armenia.
we commend the republican sen.
ate for refusing the presidents re-

mandate for Armenia. The accept

the United States into a very mne-
strom Of European Quarrels. Ac-
cording TO the estimate OF the Har.
bord commission, organized by au-
thority OF President Wilson, we would
be called upon TO send SO 900 Ameri-
can boys to police Armenia and to

mo more striking Illustration can
be found Of President Wilson's dis
regard Of the lives Of American boys
or Of American interests.
I'VE deeply sympathize with the
people Of Armenia and stand ready
to help them in all proper ways, but
the republican party will oppose now
and hereafter the acceptance of a
mandate for any country, in Europe
or Asia
