when the American people have not
turned to the Republican party since
it was founded. In the crisis of 1850
they turned to Lincoln. In 90 they

Demand End Of Waste
"The people are dcte rmined to re-
turn to constitutional government.
They are determined to end cxtrava
rance They want an administration
that will restore both property and
government to the people. They are
seeking that security. that steady
progress that has marked Republican
control Of American government.
"The great issue in this campaign is
the record Of the present Administra
ton. During its term Of Office 1t can
point to the achievement by the nation
Of one great work-the winning Of the
war But that has been done The
nation must now turn to something
else For reconstruction at home, for
peaceful and friendly relations abroad,
it offers no promise.
There is and can be no defense Of
the economic policy of the Democratic
party It did and will lead to disaster.
"No one defends its lack Of prepara-

''No one defends It's lack Of prepara-

'No one defends its extravaganza in
war and III peace.
NO one defends its autocratic
methods.
"No one defends its hundreds of
thousands of extra employees
"No one defends its un-American

People Thoroughly Tired
THE people say they are thoroughly
tired of this Administration and are
determined to have change. There
is q great source of confidence in this
public sentiment. 1t ought to allay the
fears that are beg inning to he felt by
business men. and by, the public. 1t
seems to me- the time has come when

There is a great deal of difficulty in
discussing our foreign relations be
cause of a lack of candor that has been
exhibited by a too violent psrtisanship.
They are complicated and cannot be
disposed of in sentence
1T ought to be nerfectly plain that
the American govc Nment was estab-

! American welfare alone, 1t has no
authority to do otherwise. But we are
a nation among nations. A relation

Great Object Is Peace
The great and outstanding object is
to secure peace between ourselves and
others, and friendly intercourse that
comes from commercial relations That

DO. 1t Is one of the outstanding features
