ABOUT IRELAND (Centinued From Page One.)
 justice shall be done te those who work and in turn that those whose la bor creates the necessities upon which l the life Of the nation depends must recognize the reciprocal obligation be- | tween the worker and the state. They should participate in the formulation of sound laws and regulations gov erning the conditions under which la Dor is performed, recognize and obey the laws so formulated and seek their amendment when necessary by the processes ordinarily addressed to the laws and regulations affecting the ethef relations Of life.
 l Labor as well as capital is entitled to adequate compensation Each mas the indefensfble right of organization, 1 of collective bargaining and of speak ling through representative of their own selection. Neither class, how ever, should at any time nor in any circumstances take action that VIII put In jeopardy the public welfare Resort to strikes and 1eckouts which | endanger the health or lives Of the people is an unsatisfactory device for determining disputes, and the Demo Icratic party pledges itself to contrivelt if possible, to put into effective operA aion A fair and comprehensive method of composing differences of this nature In private industrial dis putes we are opposed to compulsory arbitration method plausible In theory but a failure in fact. With re- spect to government service we hold l distinctly the rights of the people are paramount to the right to stNke. How ever we profess ,scrupulous regard Tor the conditions of public employment and pledge the Democratic party to instant inquiry into the payment of government employees and equally speedy regulations designed to bring salaries to a just and proper level.
 Woman Suffrage.
 We endorse the proposed 18th amendment of the constitution of the United States granting equal suffrage to women. We congratulate the legislatures of 35 states which have already ratified said amendment and we urge the Democratic governors and legislatures of Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida and such states as have not yet ratified the federal suffrage amendment to unite in an effort to complete the process of rati- fcation and secure the 36th state In time for all the women of the United States to participate in the fall cleo ton. We commend the effective advocacy of the measure by Presf- dent Wilson.
 Conduct of the War.
 During the war President Wilson exhibited the very broadest concep- tfc,l of liberal Americanism.

To these he committed respon- sibilties of the gravest import and most confidential nature. Many o1 them had charge of vital activities o1 the government.
 And yet with the war successfully 7 prosecuted and glortously ended, the Republican party in Congress, fa1 from applauding the masterly leader 7 ship of the President and feliciatins the country on the amazing achieve ments of the American government
 has meanly requited the consideratt course of the chief magistrate b! savage1y defaming the commander 1T

 Financial Achievements.
 A review of the record of the Dem ,. ocratie party during the administra tion of Woodrow Wilson presents u chapter of substantial achievement S unsurpassed in the history of the Re . public. For fifty years before tn u advent of this administration period
 ical convulsions had impeded the in ;, dustrial progress of the Americal u people and caused inestimable los V and distress. By the enactment c
 the federal reserve act. the old sys

 Indeed one vital danger agains
 which the American people shoul
 keep constantly on guard is the com
