bor and elcvating conditions of WON
ans employment.
| believe the federal governmen'
should stamp out lynching and re-
move that stain from the fair name o.
America.
l believe the federal government
should give its effective aid in SOLVING
the problem of ample and becoming
housing of its citizenship.
l believe this government should
make its Liberty and Victory bonds
worth all that its patriotic citizens
paid in purchasing them.
Taxes Must Be Reduced.
| believe the tax burdens imposed
for the war emergency must be re-
vised to the needs of peace, and in the
interest of equity in distribution of the
burden.
l believe the negro citizens of Amer
lea should be guaranteed the enjoy
ment of all their rights, that they have
earned the full measur of citizenship
bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood
IN the battlefelds of the republic have
entitled them to all of freedom and o.
p%ortunity, all Of sympathy and aiC
that the American spirit of fairnes,
and justice demands,
l believe there is an easy and open
path TO righteous relationship witt
Mexico. 1t has seemed to me thar on
undeveloped, uncertain and infI1l
policy has made US a culpable party t.
the governmental miSfortunes in thar
land. Our relations ought TO be botl
friendly and sympathetic; We woulC
like to acclaim a stable government
there, and offer a neighborly hand il
pointing the way to greater progress
| believe in law enforcement. L
elected I mean TO be a constitutional
president. and it is impossible TO
ignore the constitution. unthinkable to
evade the law, when our every com
initial is TO orderly government.
The four million defenders on land
and sea were worthy of the best tradi-
tions of a people never war-like in
peace and never pacifist in war. They
commanded our pride, they have u
gratitude. which must have genuine eX
preston. 1t is not only a duty, it IS d
privilege TO see that the sacrifices
made shall be requitted. and that those
still suffering from casualties and dis
abilities shall be abundantly aided and
restored to the highest capabilities OF
citizenship and its enjoyment.
Advocates Woman su$frage.
The -womanhood Of America, always
IT'S glory, its inspiration and the potent,
uplifting force in its social and Spir
ftual development, is about to be en
f%ranehised. In so fsf as congress car
90. the fact is already accomplished
BY party edict, by my recorded vote
by personal conviction I am committed
to this measure of justice. II is my
earnest hope. my sincere desire tina
the one needed state vote be quickly
recorded in the affirmation of the righ
of equal suffrage and that the vote oi
every citizen shall be cast and counted
in the approaching election.
And to the great number Of noble
Women who have opposed in convic-
lion this tremendous change in IA,
ancient relation of the exe as ar
piled to government. I venture To plea
that they will accept the full reSpo'
sibility of enlarged citizenship and give
TO the best in the republic their sui
frage and support.
Ours is not only a fortunate people
but a very common-sensical people
with vision high but their feet on the
earth. with belief in themselves and
faith in God. Whether enemies threat
en- from without Or menae arise
from within, there is some indefinahle
voice saying, Have confidence in the
renublic. America will go on!
