that the republican leaders who have
nominated its candidate, are no more
possessed of the spirit OF the hour
than they were in 1912 when they
precipitatcd a revolution within the
rank and file OF great organizu-
tion. II further proof were needed
the action OF the present congre ss
supplies It. Not a constructive law
can be cited. Money and time were
wasted in seeking to make a milli-
tary triumph an odious chapter in
history-and yet is It not signifi-
cant that after two years of sleuth-
full inquiry there was nothing re-
vealed in that vast enterprise, car
sying billions of dollars In expense
upon which they could base even a
whisper of dishonesty?

the least OF the things that have
contributed to IL, is n realization, by
the people OF the country, that we
have neither the lust for their do
main, nor disposition to disturb their
sovereign rights. Peace smiles up
on the border and incentive TO In
dividual effort seems to be making
a national aspiration.
Many elements have made our re-
public enduring; not the least Of
which Is n sustained gratitude. The
richest traditions OF our land are
woven from historic threads that
tell the bravery OF our soldiers Of
every war. They make the first i'm
pressions of history upon the minds
OF our children and bind the hearts
! OF generations together. Never in all
time will the performance OF our sol
. diers in the late war be surpassed.
