With regard to the sale and mau1ac-
ture of intoxicating beverages, the he
publican party will stand for the eniofce

about a reduction of transportation costs

Conservation.
Conservation is a Republican policy. II
began with the passage of the reclama-
don act signed by President Roosevelt.
The recent passage OF the coal. oil. ana
phosphate leasing bill by Republican
congress and the enactment OF the water
power bill fashioned In accordance with
the same principle, are consistent land
marks in the development OF the conser-
vation Of our national resources. We de-
uounce the refusal OF the president to
sign the water power bill passed after
ten years of controversy The Repub-
liCan party has taken an especially hon
ora Bile part in saving our national forests
ami IA the effort to establish national
forest policy Our most pressing conser-
walton question relates to our forests. We
are using our forest resources faster than
they are being renewed. The result is TO
raise unduly the cost OF forest products
to consumers and especially farmers,
who use more than halt the lumber pro-
duced IN America. and In the end to ere
ate a timber famine. The federal gov
the states and private interests
must unite In devising means TO meet the
menace.
The Service Men.
We hold in lmperishable remembrance
the valor and the patriotism OF the sol
diers and sailors OF America who fought
IN the great war for human liberty, and
We pledge ourselves TO discharge 10 the
fullest the obligations which a grateful
nation Justly should fulhll, in apprecia-
ton OF the services rendered by its de-
tenders on sea and on land
Republicans are not ungratefui,
