Referring to the patriotism and loyalty
of Republicans, Mr.. Hays said the ke-
ntibhcan party carried the flag aud made
music for the Union. II is not concerned
about the past; its record Of so ycars Is

IN war and stated there IL but ono KIND OF
successful poli,ics-that which is best for
tho country. He commended the politics
OF Lincoln and Roosevelt.
Replving 20 the question what docs tho
Republican party stand for?" be said:
Tho Republican party offers tho
women everything we offer the men. he
only Just rule for political party Is that

will remain equally sacred and ssoredly
eO,al. The Republican women IN the
country constitute one-half Of the partys
membership In many States this has
long been so. In the Presidential campaign
OF 1920 il is my very earnest hope and we'll
founded Judgment that II shall be so
everywhere. The Republican women como
into rhe party activity not as women but
As voters. entitled to participate, and
participating Just as other voters. Their
activity is not supplementary, ancillary
or secondary at all-they are units IN the
party membership, and where the suffrage
Tor them is new they come In just as men
have come In when they have reached the
legal voting age. They are not TO be
separated or segregated, but assimilated
And amalgamated, with just that tulI
consideration due every working member

citizenship There is to be no separate
women's organization created within the
partv, except and only IN those chses
where such an arrangement may be needed
temporarily as an efficient aid in the COM
plete amalgamation which Is our object
i've.
II suggest that above all things else the
Republican party stands first for the hon
est. efficient and economical business adj
ministration of the countrvs affairs. 1t
was formerly said that honesty II the
best policy as a matter of business. Hon.
esty Is the best policy As matter OF
morals In like manner there is but one
kind of successful politics, and that Is the
DoIitics Of faithful, efficient, honest and
economical administration. The only |
successful politics in the situation today |
is TO tlnd out what Is best for the country |
and do il first. We want more men In |
politics for what they can give and not |
what they can get.
81 suggest the Republican party stands |
for the development and execution OF q
plan for the reduction Of taxes, with the /
repeal of taxes which kill initiative and |
the spreading of the war debt over a large |
number of years.
II suggest that there shall be developed /
better relation between labor and capital, |
with Justice TO both and with justice TO the /
public, the third side of the triangle, which |
must not be forgotten.
II suggest that there shall be An adj I
ministration of law and order everywhere
in the nation.
81 suggest the Republican party shall
measure its steps forward by the new needs
of the nation, with its eyes always ahead,
but with its feet always on solid ground.
THE Republican party stood during
the war. First, for the use of every pos
sible means to win the war; second, Tor a
peace with victory only; and, third, for
sane preparation for the solution Of the
problems of peace.
"With all our power we viii strive 10
prevent the further spread OF socialism and
set this nations feet once more flrmly on
the path of progress and along ways which
liberty and order must ever guard and
preserve
40 this end we have promised for
ward stepping as well as a forward look
ing program, for labor, for business and
for the farmer, and those promises we will
keep.
.sThe Republican party recognizes that
labor constitutes the countrys CHIEF asset.
In the crises through which we have passed
the labor of the country was Its salvation.
"The labor of this country Is entitled 10,
