DANBURY, Oct. 4.-Asserting that the
Republican party as a party and "re-
gardless of views of particular indi-
viduals, can be depended upon TO main
tain the untrammelled and unpawned
independence Of the American Repub-
lic," United States Senator Borah
started four days speaking tour in
Connecticut tonight, and thus set
definitely at rest reports that he had
withdrawn from the Republican cam
paign.
Senator Borahs trip through the
State is in behalf of the candidacy for
reelection Of Senator Brandegee. He
spoke tonight to an audience that
was outstandingly enthusiastic and
filed to overflowing the hall in which
IL was held. The only reference by
Senator Borah to Senator Harding was
made near the close Of his speech,
when he compared the statements of
Gov. Cox and the Republican nominee
regarding their attitude on the league
Gov Cox that he would go into the
league, and Senator Harding that ne
would not enter a league to protect
territorial integrity or to send Amer
lean boys to Europe to war.
Before the meeting began Senator
Eorah issued q statement commenting
on Senator Hardng's statement that
the latter's views and those of Sena-
tors Borah and Johnson were in en-
tire accord.
Harding Knows stand.
From his eighteen months in the
Senate,' Senator Borah said, Senator
Earding knows my views. If he ac-
cepts them then we are hl perfect
accord
In his speech Senator Borah said
in part:
The people of this country can de-
pend upon the Republican party as a
party, and rt regardless of the views of
particular individuals. 10 be true to its
highest and noblest traditions-devo-
ton to the integrity and untrammeled
and unpawncd independence of the
American Republic. Upon this it will
not compromise. 1t has been the great
passion of its being. Upon its domes-
tic or economic policies men have diff
fered but upon this question it's record
is unassalldble.
After Lincoln was elected came the
chaotic days of treason and compro-
mise, different names for the same
thing. Some were for open surren-
der, others for compromise. but both
meant the dissolution OF the republic
Before Mr.. Lincoln left Springfield he
wrote to a friend: Entertain no com
promise; have none of it. That has
been the Republican creed from that
hour to this whenever American in
stitutions were involved II is it's
creed now. The men and women who
make up it's strength and ultimately
shape it's policies will have no other.
..The Voice of Maine"
Upon the question for our complete
and uncontracted control of our foreign
policy and our foreign duties and obli-
cations they will stand as firm as their
forebears stood in 1860. Our right as a
leagues or associations. TO determine for
ourselves in every crisis and In the face
of every confronting situation what II is
our duty to do and what It is in the in
terast of humanity and civilization to
do involves the whole question of self
government the whole question OF an in
dependent republic. and | venture to say
that the voters OF the party VIII never
compromise this right.
THE voice Of Maine was the voice OF
Lincoln. speaking through the sturdy
and patriotic men and women who have
kept the faith.
LET US not be confused by terms. nor
mistake names for principles Let us
consider rather results and the final
goal and not waste our time debating
over what particular route we shall
reach the goal. II compromise
leads to the same result as the league
without compromise then we certainly
want no compromise.

league scheme presents TO the average
citizen is this: Shall we go ir~o Europe
