| convention, in the city of Santa Pc,
on this 26th day Of March, 1920,
reaffirms its allegiance to the prin-
ciples for which it has stood since
its organization. and to which our
continued devotion IS hereby
pledged
We affirm our unyielding devo-
ton to the constitution of the
limited States, and to the guaran-
| tees of civil, political and religious
| liberties therein contained. Any
attempt to overthrow or destroy
the principles upon which our gov
lernment was founded, or in any
wise to weaken the form of inter-
Inationalism, or by internal agita-
ltion, will meet with our united OPP
position.
We commend the republican ma
jority in the United States senate
for the stand it has taken against
the attempt of the present admin
listration to conclude peace which
Included a covenant for a league
of nations of such a form as to be
Unacceptable to the American peo-
pie and destructive of the American
lconstitution, American institutions
land American sovereignty.
We repeat what has so often
been declared by the republican
party. that the United States should
assume no obligations, either legal
| or moral, to send American SOL
diers, sailors and marines to serve
European and Asiatic powers in the
preservation of their territorial or
their political independence, at the
dictates of foreign powers inter-
meddling with our internal ana
domestic concerns,
The covenant of the league or
nations, in the form proposed by
THE. president, was not only I'M
! American but was an attempt TO
have the American people sur
Irender their independence and sub
stitute therefor a policy of inter-
nationalism, under which their flu
lture policies internal and external,
would have been at the dictatlon
| and under the control OF foreigh
governments.
The principle of protection of our
home industries and home ana
ilabor has been at all times part
of our national policy, and that
principle must be retained as the
policy of the republican party,
| both to maintain American stand
lards of American labor and Amer
| lean Industries and to insure the
nations economic independence.
| We favor national budget sys-
tenn and an absolute economical
expenditure of public moneys rails
| cd for public purposes and we con-
denim in unmeasured terms the
utter incompetence of the present
democratic administration in nam
ding the affairs of the govern
ment. as shown by its eXtraVa-
pance wasteful and reckless eX-
nenditure of public funds during
| and since the war with Germany,
and we hereby approve the course
a republican congress has taken IN
lexposing the unbusinessllke meth-
DDS by which such funds We're eh-
pended, and we commend the pres
| ent congress for the attitude II mas
taken by saving to the people Oh
1.-The United States billions of dollars
lby cutting down the eXorbltant
estimates and demands of the ad-
ministration for the continuation OF
appropriations of money on war
basis.
The present system and methods
of taxation should be Thoroughly
revised with definite purpose TO
lpromote and not to prevent pusl-
ness enterprises and increased pro-
Iduction. ,.,. ra
honor of labor and the necessary
that it should lat all times pc
treated with justice and ACCORDED
n SQUARE deal, and that there
should be developed between capt.
Ital and labor better relation
with Justice to both and justice to
the public as the third side OF the
| triangle. l.,
we urge vigorous measures 10
prevent the spread of bolsheVisil
land the doctrines advocated by
fanatics. which are inimical to ana
destructive of the principles upon
which our government is FOUNDED
We believe the American Legion
lis representative of the great ma,
ioritv of soldiers, sailors and ma
Erines who served our country IN
1.-THE late war and is best constituted
lto work out the problems OF ex-
service men, and we pledge our
Idelegates to the national conVen-
Ition to support the program wmch

shall recommend.
While we earnestly urge the re-
naming states of the union 10
ladopt the pending amendment TO
1.-The constitution of the united
States comforting the right OF SUI
Ifrage on women, yet it is signlfl-
cant fact that every republican
state which has acted on SAID
amendment has approved it, and
Its rejection has invariably come
