MAJOR wAsHBURN's ADDRESS.
perfectly clear-cut and definite
Messrs. Cox and Roosevelt will find
it difficult to confuse the minds OF
the American People into believing
that the Republican Campaign Fund,
other forms of campaign propaganda
are going to secure for them the vote
of the intelligent electorate of the
United States The real issue of this
campaign is to consummate by
concrete action the objectiyes for
which we entered the war In France
The primary reason why we fought
the World War was to obtain an
honorable peace as soon as might be
and restore the world and America
to a normal condition in economics,
finance and social life at the earliest
possible moment. 1t was for these
purposes that we sent our boys to
France and spent 33 billion dollars in
wealth. Two years have now elapsed,
We have not secured peace, we have
not restored America to stability in
business, finance, economicS or social
life. The Democratic Administration
has had two years in which to carry
out the trust imposed upon it at the
signing of the Arlnistice and it has
failed to deliver the goods. 1t is not
therefore, entitled to reelection in
1920 for any Office in state or Nation
Democracy is Successful to the
exact extent to which the individual
feels personal and individual
responsib bility toward the state. 1t is
the voters who select the leaders,
and il these leaders so chosen
misrepresent you in foreign affairs
and squander your money
unprod uctively at home, it is you
personally who pay the bill; or il We
are lead into foreign wars it is you
who send your sons to bear the
burden of the fight, 1t is not enough
~ HI Val
but it is essential that each and
everyone of you who feels any
responsibility toward the country, to
see to it that all of your friends who
are of your mind, actually get out on
election day and cast their votes. 1t
will not be sufficient merely to elect
the Republican Ticket in the nation
but it is essential that we return
Senate and House of Representatives
to Washington which will make it
possible for the new administration
to carry out, without obstruction or
delays, economic legislation which
will forth with initiate the reduction
OF the High Cost of living. 1t must
be clear to all that we shall
not get any such relief from
Democratic administration or u
Democratic Congress. The Third
district of New Jersey, as you all
know has for many years been
represented in Congress by a
Democrat The primary Importance
for the people of this district and the
people of Asbury Park is to realize
that the election of a Congressman
from this district, who will cooperate
with the national administration, is
matter of their personal and
individual interest The man who
you will send to Washington will be a
factor in cooperating with the
Republican Party to cut the High
Cost of Living and make possible
other forms of legislation which will.
as soon as may be, return the country
as a whole to state of stability. The
candidate for congress from this dis
trict, Mr. T . Frank Appleby, is one
of your best known citizens. You
should feel more than casual inter
est in his election, and | would
earnestly suggest to each and every
one here present that you search
your mind as to ways and means as
to which you may personally help
to secure votes which will send
this gentleman to Congress and
redeem the Third District of New
Jersey from the hands of the
/ Democrats.
