path to a developing eminence which no people in the world ever rivalled- It. has guaranteed the rule of intelligent A deliberate public opinion expressed through parties. Under this plan a. masterful leadership becomingly may manifest it's influence, but a people'R will still remains the supreme author I ity.
 The American achievement under-7 the plan of the fathers is nowhere dis-4 puted. On the contrary the American | example has been the model of every l republic which glorifies the progress of liberty, and is everywhere the leay- ! en of representative democracy which | has expanded human freedom. It has | been wrought through party govern 1 ment.
 No man is big enough to run this, great republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never i'm tended. Tranquility, stability, de-
 pendability-all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmaI war.
 Slams Continued "Autocratic Rule"
 It was not surprising that we went
 far afield from safe and prescribed paths amid the war anxieties. There was the unfortunate tendency before there was the surrender of congress to the growing assumption of the execu- tive before the world war imperilled all the practices we had learned to be-
 lieve in; and in the war emergency
 every safeguard was swept away. Tn the name of democracy we established
 autocracy. We are not complaining at this extraordinary bestowal or as- sumption in war. it seemed tempo rariiy necessary; our alarm is over the failure to restore the constitutional
 methods when the war emergency ended.
 Our first comnlittal is the re- storation of representative pop ular government, under the consti- tuition, through the agency of the Republican party. Our vision in- cludes more than a chief eHecu- tive; We believe in a cabinet of
 highest capacity, equal to the re- responsibilities which our system contempIates, in whose councils the vice president, second off cial of the republic, shall be asked
 to participate. The same vision includes a cordial understanding
 and -ordinated activities with a house of congress, fresh from the people, Voicing the convictions
 which members bring from direct contact with the electorate, and cordial cooperation along with the restored functions of the senate, fit to be the greatest deIiberatiVe body of the world. It's members are the designated sentinels on the
 towers of constitutional govern
 ment. On the resumption of the .senate's authority saved to this republic it's independent national ity, when autocracy nnisinterpreted the dream of a world experiment to be the vision of a world ideal.
 It is not difficult, Chairman Lodge.
 to make ourselves clear on the ques ton of international relationship. We ! nf a of our solemn oaths and mindful of our constitutional obligation, when we saw | the structure of a world super-gov- ernment taking visionary form, joined l in a becoming warning of our devotion
 to this republic. If the torch of con- stitutionalism had not been dimmed. | the delayed peace of the world and the | tragedy of disappointment and Eu- ropes misunderstanding of America easily might have been avoided. The | Republicans of the senate halted the l barter of independent American emil l hence and influence, which it was pro- posed to exchange for an obscure and
 unequal place in the merged govern
 nent of the world. Our party means i to hold the heritage of American na- tionality unimpaired and unsurren- ] dered.
 Not Stunning Responsibility The world will not misconstrue. We
 do not mean to hold aloof. We do not mean to shun single responsibility
 of this republic to world civilization | There is no hate in the American heart. We have no envy, no suspi
 cion, no aversion for any peiple in the
 world. We hold to our rights, and
 means to defend, aye, we mean to sus-
 tain the rights of this nation oud our | citizens alike, everywhere under the | shining sun. Yet there is the concord of amity and sympathy and fraternity
 in every resolution. There is @ gen. | uine aspiration to every American | breast for tranquil friendship with all the world.
 More, we believe the unspeakable | sorrows, the immeasurable sacrifices, ] the awakened convictions and the as l piriug conscience of human kind must commit the nations of the earth to a new and better relationship. It need not be discussed now what motives i plunged the world into war, it need not be inquired whether we asked the ] sons of this republic to defend our l national rights, as I believe we did, ! or to purge the old world of the accu- mulated ills of rivalry and greed the 1 sacrifices will be in vain if we cannot l acclaim a new order. with added se-
