 immigration
 The standard of living and the standard of citizenship are it's most precious posse.sions and the preser- Valion and elevation ol those stand ards is the first duty of Our govern ment.
 The immigration policy of this country should be such as to insure that the nU--'er of foreigners in the country at one time shall not eX- ceed that which can be assimilated with reasonable rapidity. and to favor immigrants whose standards are simi- lar to ours.
 The selective tests that are ( pres ert applied would be improved by re- Questing higher physical standard, a more complete exclusion of mental detectives and Of criminals and more effective inspection applied as near the source of immigration as pos sible, as well as at the port of en- try. Justice to the foreigner and to ourselves demands provisions for the guidance, protection and better eco- homie distribution of our alien pop ulation To make easy government supervision. all aliens should he re quired to register annually until they become naturalized.
 Naturalization
 There is urgent need for improve ment in our naturalization laws. No alien should become a citizen until he has become genuinely American. \ test for determining the aliens fiji ness for American citizenship should be provided for by law. We advocate the independent naturalization of mar ried women. An American woman should not lose her citizenship by marriage to an alien.
 Free Speech and Alien Agitation.
 We demand that every American tional right of free speech. free press and free assembly and the no less sacred right of the qualified voter to be represented by his duly chosen representatives but no man may speak of resistance to the laws, and advocate violent overthrow of the gov ernment. Aliens within the jurisdic- tion of this. country are not entitled of right to liberty of agitation dl- .rected against the government or American institutions.
 Every government has the power to exclude and deport those aliens who constitute radical menace to it's existence. But, in view of the large numbers of the people affected by the immigration laws, public hearing should be assured to all.
 Lynchine
 We urge congress to consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country, which continues to be a terrible blot on our American citizenship.
 Law and Order
 The equality of all citizens under the law has always been 8 policy "i the Republican party. Without obedience to law aitd maintainance Of order, our Amer.- can institutions must perish. Our Jaws must be impartially enforcC~t and speedy justice should be se- cured.
 Public Roads and Highways
 We favor liberal appropriations. in cooperatiCn with the states, for con struction of highways, which Win bring about a reduction in transDor- tation costs. better marketing oi farm products, improvement in rural postal delivery, as well as meet the needs of military defense.
 In determining the proportion oi federal aid for road construction among the states, the sums lost il taxation to the respective states " the setting apart of large portions O. their area as forest reservations, should be considered as a controlling factor.
