TO win the coming election. He said
The American people have passed
through two supreme crises in fhe.r
hundred and forty-four years Of ma
ti0nal existence The flrst was In the
birth pangs OF freedom. when fhroush
sI that mighty struggle for deliver
ance. our forefafhers bore the suffer
ings Of real men with invincble f0rti-
tude, inspired by a determination that
this nation might be newborn into
glorious heritage Of liberty and inde-
pendence.

later. came when the hideous face OF
secession was seen lowering over the.

the preservation OF our constitution,
or its destruction by internationalism.

paign is whether I'VE will follow the
admonitons and the policies Of the
great men OF this republic OF the vain
dreams Of q president who, mad for
power and fame, would lead us into
the paths OF a Lenino and Trotzsky.

fend the constitution and Americanism !

"For this struggle the Republican
party needs a standard bearer. This Is
the sort OF man he should be--a sane,
frank. and common sense American,
without q single microbe in his brain

be a man with his feet always firmly
