Chicago. June 9-The provisions o1 the proposed initial plank prepared tonight recited the republican efforts to repeal war legislation and detailed legislation completed by congress, in cluding reduction of requested ap- propriations the railroad, shipping and other acts.
 The plank follows:
 "Despite the unconstitutional and dictatorial course of President Wilson and the partisan obstruction of the democratic minority in congress, the republican majority adopted pro- gram of constructive legislation which in a great part has been nulli- fled by the vindictive vetoes of the president.
 "It met the problem presented by the administration unreadiness to resume the tasks of peace, which was only equolled by it's unreadiness to taln I'D the burden of war. The re- publican majority sought to repeal f great part of the vexatious war leg islation which invades the liberties of the citizens that was thwarted by a presidential veto. It enacted the transportation act and made possible the rehabilitation of the railroad sys- tems of the country wrecked by the McAdoo railroad administration.
 "Under the act it provided for the peaceful arbitration of wage disputes, which was so nullified by the presi- dents delay in appointing the wage board created under the provisions of the law, that he himself precipitated the outlaw railroad strike.
 "The republican majority stopped the flood of public treasure restlessly poured into the lap of an inept ship ping board, and laid the foundations for the creation of great American merchant marine, to be owned and operated by the private enterprise of American citizens, under the Amerl- can flag and under the control of the government of the United States. The republicans in congress took from wasteful and incompetent democra- tic administration the telegraph and telephone lines of the country and re
  which can use them neither for the purpose of political patronage nor political espionabe of the country.
 Reduced Postage Cost.
 "The. republican majority reduced the cost of postage to the people and increased the wage of the driven and underpaid employees of the postal ser vice. Carrying out it's purpose to care for the faithful employees of the government the republican congress enacted law to provide pensions for superannuated and retired civil ser wants. It likewise provided for an in- crease in the pay of sailors and sol diers of the United States and fur ther provided for reorganization of the army on the peace footing ana for the maintenance of a power1ul and efficient navy.
 Recognizing the increased number of women wage earners drawn lnto industry by the war and by modern social and economic developments, republican congress established by law for the first time women's pu- reau, to aid the states to safeguard the welfare of women in industry, and to raise the standards of thelr employment.
 "It submitted to the country the constitutional amendment for the en- franchisement of women, while 29 re. publican legislatures out of a total of 35 have contributed to the ratlfi. cation to vest in the reserve board and reserve banks discretion tc en- courage the production of essentials for the use of the common peoplei to permit banks to lend needed assist ance to farmers who have been SC gravely discriminated against by the and to facilitate the decshrdlu- the present democratic, adminlstra tion, and to facilitate the develop lment of the export trade.
