 pies will still remains the supreme au- thority.
 No man is biz enough to run this great republic There never has been one Such domination was never intended. Tranquility. stability, dependability-all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rendered in the cataclysmal war
 Cabtnetof Capacity.
 Our first conmittal is the restoration of representative popular government, under the constitution, through the agency of the republican party. Our vision in cludes more than chief executive. we believe in a cabinet of highest capacity, equal to the responsibilities which our system contemplates, in whose councils the vice president, second official of the republic shall be asked to participate. The same vision includes a cordial un- derstanding and co-ordinated activities with a house of congress, trsh from the people. voicing the convictions which the members bring from direct contact with the electorate. and, cordial cooperation along with the restored functions of the senate fit to be the sre/test deliberative body in the world. Its members areythe designated sentinels on the towers of constitutional government The re- = to this republic its independent nation ality when autocracy misinterpreted the dream of a world experiment to be the vision of world ideal.
 International Relationship.
 It is not difficult Chairman Lodge. to make ourselves clear on the question Of International relationship. We republi- cans of the senate. conscious of our sol- sTln oaths and mindful of our constitu- tional obligations when we saw the structure of a world per-goyernment taking visionary form. joined in a becon- ing warning of our devotion to this re- public. If the torch of constitutionalism had not been dimled. the delayed world peace and the tragedy of disappointment and Europes misunderstanding of Ameri- a easily might have been avoided The republicans Of the senate halted the bar ter Of independent American eminence and influence, which it was proposed to exchange for an obscure and unequal place in the merged government of the world. Our party means to hold the heri- age of American nationality unmpair- d and unsurrendered.
 Shrn No Responsibility.
 The world will not misconstrue. We io not mean to hold aloof We do not mean to shun a single responsibility of -his republic 10 world civilization. There $ no hate in the American heart We nave no envy. no suspicion, no aversion Tor any people in the world We hold to sur rights, and means to defend ave, we mean 10 sustain the rights of this na- ton under the shining sun. Yet there Is the concord of amity and sympathy and fraternity in every resolution. There s 2 genuine aspiration in every Ameri- ,an breast for tranquil friendship with all the world.
 Welcomes Referendum.
 One may readily sense the conscience If our America. I am sure I understand he puraose of the dominant group of the senate. We were not seeking to defeat a world aspiration, We were resolved to safeguard America We were resolved then, even as We are today. and will be tomorrow. 10 preserve this free and inde- pendent renublic. Let those now respor- sibie. or seeking responsibility. propose the surrender. whether with interpreta- ticns. apologies. CT reluctant reservations from which our rights are 10 be omit ted-we welcome the referendum to the American people on the preservation of America. and the republican party pledg- ss it's defense Of the preserved in heritsnce Of national freedom
 I can speak unreservedly of the Amer ican aspiration and the republican com initial for an association of nations CO., operating in sublime accord. to attain ana preserve peace through justice rather than force. determined to add to securi- " through international law. So clarified that no misconstruction can be possible without aifronting world honor.
 Supreme BIunder of Democrats.
 It will avail nothing to discuss in de- tail the league covenant, which was con- ceived for world super-government nego- tiated in misunderstanding. and intoler- antly urged and demanded by it's ad- ministration sponsors. who resisted every sffort to safeguard America, and who finally rejected when such safeguards were inserted If the supreme blunder has eft European relationships inextricably Iterwoven in the league compact our sympathy for Europe only magnifies oui own good fortune in resisting involve. nent IL is better to be the free and dis.

 Hold to Our Own Interpretation.
 When the compact was being written I do not know whether Europe asked 0 ambition insistently bestowed It was S good 10 rejoice in the worlds confidenc in our unselishness that | can believe ou svident disinteEestedness inspired Europe wish for our association, quite as muc as the selfish thought of enlisting Amer lczn power and resources. Ours is an out standing influential example to the world whether we cloak it in spoken modest or magnify It in exaltation We want [ ielp; We mean 70 help: but we hold t our own interpretation of the America conscience as the very soul ofour na tionality
 Appraisiag preserved nationality as th drst essential to the continued progress the republic, there is linked with it tn supreme necessity of the restoration-L us say the re-revealment-of the const tUtion. and our reconstruction as an 1T dustrial nation. Here is the transcend ing tas. It concerns our common wes ar home and will decide our future en1iI ence in the world. More than these, tn republic. under constitutional libertie has given to mankind the most fortuna conditions for human activity and a tainment the world has ever noted, an we are today the worlds reserve fore in the great contest for liberty throug security, and maintained equally of oi portunity and it's righteous rewards.
