possible means 10 win ihe war: second
for a peace with victory only; anC
third for a sane preparation for the
solution Of the problem Of peace.
I'VE insist that we are as unpre-
pared for peace as we were for war
We cried continually for preparation
70 that end. Every country except
America was preparing for peace long
before the war ended We slipped
along under this Democratic admins-
tration, without any adequate thought
OF the problems that would confront
us until the shocks Of peace was here,
| just as we did before we entered the
war.
"Our du.y in all these matters is be-
fore us. and that duty we Will not
shirk. Republicans shall bring th a
government back to the limitation Of
the Constitution In time Of peace; and
we'll indeed may our party give It's best
thought TO that matter, as t has be-
come more apparent lily that the Re
publican party IS the country's only
salvation
with all our power we will strive
to prevent the further spread OF So
cialism, and set this nations feet once
more firmly on the path Of progress
and along ways which liberty and order
must ever guard and preserve.
TO this end we have promised a
forward stepping as well as a forward
looking program for labor. for business
and for The farmer, and those promises
we win keep
"The Republican party recognized
hat labor constitutes the cOuntry's
chief asset. In the crisis throrrh
which We have passed the labor Of The
country was its salvation.
THE labor Of this country is entitled
TO and viii receive fair representation
IN all the councils Of the nation. We

The betterment OF this great group OF
our population at all times. not only
because u Is their due but because by
Justice always we can prevent the in
sldlous influence Of the criminal Gle
ment OF the 7. w. w. from taking hold
In the ranks Of real labor And that
criminal element. organized or unor-
ganlzed. called I. w. w. or ANYTHING
else. that goes about this country seek
Ing whom IL can destroy-that thing
Is a traitor TO this country, nothing
else, and should be tresied as zach.
Vigorous and thorough shall be our
efforts TO make certain for the business
Of the country that opportunity and
encouragement which will insure Its
development and growth upon which
prosperity Of all depends. In the great
leadiustment business must have SYM

entitled to every consideration includ- !

Taxes which Kill initiative must not be
levied. There should be a large inheri-
lance tax on the very great inheri-
tances and OF course adequate taxes
must be provided by careful legislation
and fair enforcement by competent /
men to take care Of the extraordinary /
expenses. but we do not propose to I
permit the use Of the war as an excuse
FOR everything. i
