yada is one, to the newly franchised
women voters of the Middle West an
East. The women of the western
states having had experience along
political lines, should be able to i'm
part valuable information to the sis
tiers farther east that will be of i'm
mense value during the coming cam
paign. We want this advice to the
end thai we may have the fullest
possible participation by Republican
women in party affairs.
Successful politics is a matter OF
assimilation. We are all working to-
gether because we have got a work to
do for the good of the country and
it's going to take us all to do it.
"One of the most essential impress
sions that l wish to convey is that
we must get more people interested
in politics for what they a do /;
not for what they expect to get.
II plead for a patriotism in peace
as well as in war. l insist hat we
have not merely that patriotism born
of extremities, which burns in the
souls of men only when their country
is in danger, but the patriotism OF
good citizenship at the fireside, the
pillow, the mart, in low places and in
high places, in season and out of sea-
son. Let US have the patriotism which
moves men and to make their
country's welfare their own business
and in prosaic times of peace interest
themselves continually in the practi-
cal politics of their community.
There is a s~aturnalia of individual
extravaganza in this country. Every
place we find it. | urge the practice
OIL the part of all of the strictest in
dividual economy consistent with the
proper development of present day
needs and possibilities. Another great
lesson of war is industry and thrift.
This is not a political matter in any
sense. Every possible effort must be
made by government, by group and by
individual to reduce the cost of living
in this country. 1t is the one problem
today touching all of our people
Where the government by legislative,
by executive. or by judicial action can
function properl in that direction
such action is our first duty, and there
must be no Sinking or temporizing
in discharge of that duty.
There is In this country a religious
faith which believes in the divine or
igin of the Constitution of the United
States. | approve the direction of the
thought and recommend the apprecia-
ton. The time is here when our hell
must be in the ground. Law and order
shall reign in this country. We are
the freest government on the face of
the earth and our strength rests on
our patriotism. Anarchy flees before
patriotism. Peace and order are safe
so long as enough love of country
dominates in the hearts of the people.
But liberty does not mean license.
Liberty to make our laws does not
give us a license to break them.
Liberty is responsibility, and re-
sponsibility is duty, and that duty
is to preserve the exceptional liberty
we enjoy within the law and by the
law without any temporizing or
compromise whatsoever. Liberty is
fire on the hearth; license is fire on
the floor. +
Everywhere the people, regardless
of past affiliations, are looking for
Republican success, in order:
"First-That we may make certain
that we have an efficient, economical,
honest business administration of the
country's affairs.
"Second-That there may be de-
veloped and executed a plan for the
reduction of taxes; that taxes which
kill initiative be not levied, and that
the payment of the great wal debt be
distributed owe a large number of
years.
"Third-That there may be de-
veloped a better relation between
between capital and labor, with JUS
tice to both and with justice to the
third side of the triangle, the public,
which must not be forgotten.
"All of this, and we shall have a
forward stepping as well as a forward
looking program for labor. for bust
ness and for the farmer"
Hays was engaged all morning in
conferences with the Republicans
while the women members of the
party were looked after by prominent
Republican women.
