he candidate for United States sena-

the candidate for United States Sena-
tor, who won the nomination upon the
Republican ticket in the primaries in
June, stands upon these questions. For
tunately it is not necessary to specu-
late, it is not necessary to guess, it is
not even necessary to place our own
his administration which indicate his
attitude. In addressing labor gath
ering in September, 1919, Mr.. Frazier
as reported in his own organ said:
"Our forefathers in 1776 had NO
voice in the taxes they had to pay, SO
they organized the revolution and
broke away from tyranny. It was
just revolution.
''1 hope to God that we can change
things hero by the use Of the ballot.
I think we can. But II we can't, It
may be necessary to have another just
revolution.''
From the evidence thus presented on
Mr.. Frazier's attitude Of opposition to
Republican candidates, fundamental
Republican doctrines, and to the Re-
publican party itself, it must be evil
dent also that he has been, and would
be wholly out Of harmony with the
plans, purposes and legislative policies
Of the Republican party of today.
PARTY CHAMPION
OF REPUBLICAN FORM OF
GOVERNMENT
Upon these great and fundamental
principles plant my feet squarely,
upon the ground occupied by the
fathers Of the Republic and by the
founders of the Republican party. I
have always preferred to believe that
the Republican party represented some
thing more than mere desire for Office
have always assumed that
it stood for certain fundamental prin-
ciples Of government as well as prin-
ciphs Of administrative policy. One
Of these principles, which in my judg-
ment constituted the cornerstone Of it's
existence, is respect for the law and
obedience to the mandates Of the Con-
stitution. The Republican party is the
historical champion of republican
form Of government. The essence of
the Republican form of government is
that the people shall have unhampered
opportunity to express their will
through the ballot box and that
minority should obey the law enacted
by such majority, and act according
to its prescribed forms. Appeals to
the sword and to revolutionary v1o-
lence cannot exist side by side with
devotion to the principles Of our Re-
publican form of government and the
Constitution. Through the ballot all
governmental change should come. It
is the sceptor Of the sovereign citizen.
BY the ballot, and not by the sword of
revolution, the true American settles
all political questions.
ENDORSEMENT OF o'CoNNoR
As Republican I regret that the
man who got the Republican nomina-
tion as candidate for United States
Senator in the regular way is not a
whom all Republicans could
support. Naturally, that is where my
support would go as citizen Of life
ong affiliation with the Republican
party. Mr.. Frazier's opponent belon gs
20 the Democratic party and his name
will be found in the Democratic col
INN. As citizen, owing an obliga-
ion under the Constitution and the
aw to exercise the right of suffrage
n the best interest Of my state and of
he Nation, I am compelled to choose
between Mr.. Frazier in the Republican
column, and Democrat. AS citizen,
experience no difficulty in arriving at
! choice. Mr.. o 'Connor served in the
Legislature of our State in 1917 and
gain in 1919. He was a member of
he lower House when the infamous
House Bill No. A, subversive of the
1ery principle of constitutional Gov
was introduced, with the sup
'ort of Mr.. Frazier, Mr.. Lemke and
heir associates. Mr.. O'Connor was one
# the mainstays of the opposition to
Iouse Bill "a, standing side by side
With the Republicans who opposed it
IS un-American and unconstitutional.
Upon every question in our state in
'olving law and order, involving sup
'ort Of the constitutional principles
md of the fundamentals Of Republican
government, Mr.. O'Connor has alwaws
TODD upon that high ground, which the
ounder Of the Republican party and
he Republicans have always occupied.
