To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The problem in this country to-
dsv is to restore what the war destroyed
confidence.
The Republican party has q wonderful
epportunity. Born of 4 great national
reed. il never has deviated from its orig
nal purpose From the beginning it has
stood for America first, last and all the
time.
The greatest Republican of all. Abra-
ham Lincoln. erected the foundation for
Republican platforms for all time in the
simple statement: "This is govern
ment Of the people, by the people, for
ne people" Let us square every plank
OF the platform by this ruic.
This is no time for mere words or
fancy phrases: this is the time for
truth-fundamenta facts. There is but
cne way TO win We must have compe-
.ent. straightforward candidates, stand
iag firmly upon 8 platform, every plank
Of which must be straight grained, free
rom knots, American timber.
Tmc enough to be q unit in chain
Of nations when we have forged an in
destructible link: when we are assured
We shall be joined with other unbreak-
able links. Just now we cannot afford
20 experiment A chain is as strong as
is weakest link. Now we must restore
confidence in our own integrity.
Americanism is the keynote With a
sountry o Americans, America can ac-
coInplish anything everything. This is
no time TO play politics This is no time
10 listen to sectional grievances. This
IS no time TO garblc issues This is the
me tor the Republican party to come
out fatfooted with a retl-blooded state
ment that II is an American party-o
the people, for the people. and stauds
llgidly for government by the people.
Cut all superfuous language. cut all red
ape. disregard customs, conventions.
Let US give American voters, for once,
platform that is short, concise, that
means what it says and says what it
means and says it with punch.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party should
be one whose ideals are such that its
adherents do not have to be hauled to
the voting booths on Election Dav. Its
Amerlcanism should be SO glowing, it's

Will be glad to cast his ballot. If the
Republican party becomes that it will

would be the graveyard of politicians
and glib-tongued chsrlatans.
The industrial situation demands
earnest thought of platform makers
The situation will not be secure until
the public is protected from strikes
in essential industries and both cap
ital and labor are guaranteed fair
return for their investment and work
as the case may be. The party should
make 1t clear that this is the triangle
of progress-capital, the public and
labor, and that any other system is a
dream.
Americanism should not be lost sight
of in the nations foreign affairs. The
Argonne and Chateau Thierry are not
the resting place for men who died fo1
European ideals. They died for the
Americanism Of Washington, Lincoln
and Roosevelt. The service men who
returned were not tricked by the acous-

Genuine Sincerity Necessary
To Welfare of the Countr'

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Never in the history Of our
great Republic has there been a time
when genuine sincerity on the part g
political leaders was more necessary
FOR the welfare of our country than
to-day.
Sincerity inspires confidence.
The voters are restless, discontented d
snd more critical than ever.
Therefore. it will be patriotic, pru
cent and wise for the leaders Of the
Republican party to see to it that in
raining the party platform they dis
play that virtue which has not alway 5
been evident in the past, namely, genu-
Inc sincerity.
They can do this, Arst, by refusing
TO incorporate any pledge, the fulfill
ment Of which would not be practical
or patriotic.
Second by pledging briefly, in
plain and simple language, to solve
those vital problems which they know
are open TO solution.
