I 1.-The American government, by
reason of the Constitution and its I'M
derlying principles, is a government
OF parties. Party organizations are
the medium through which the SOW
eroign citizens of the United States
act; they are the medium of repre-
sentative government. 1t is party
action rather than Hooking by ones
SELF or formation OF 'bloos Cor
class groups, an idea imported from
Europe), that determines the poll
cies and practices OF our government.
It is essential, then, that the wo-
man voter align herself with one of
the great parties of the country, If
she is to make her influence count.
THE Republican party asks the
support of the women voters. 1t asks
this support not upon a long list of
promises yet to be fulfilled, but upon
the strength of a long record of
achievements of Justice. equality and
upliftment in the political, social
and Industrial world. The record
which the Republican party presents
for the favorable consideration of
the women voters is not the product
of a few brief months or years. It
is not an accidental record. due to
one administration. 1t is the record
of decades of performance which has
lifted the masses OF people to higher
ground and led them into easier and
safer paths in the performance of
their daily routine and the living of
their lives.
Patriotism, nationalism and
Americanism have been watchwords
OF the Republican party through
all these years OF constructive eff
fort at home and untarnished honor
and commanding respect abroad. No
Republicai administration ever
thought the American flag was not
broad enough to symbolic the
rights of humanity or sought to sub
stitute for It some international in
sigma. No Republican administra-
ton ever permitted the American
flag TO stand as a symbol of autoc-
racy at home or tyranny abroad. on
the other hand, no Republican ad-
ministration ever permitted the
American flag or any American who !
lawfully claimed protection of that
flag to be fiOuted or maltreated by |
any other nation-however power |
full or however irresponsible. Re-
publican administrations were not
so much concerned about making |
the world safe for democracy as
they were to make the world safe for
Americans by making the name and
the flag of this nation stand for
honor, justice and integrity in in
dealings.
Protection for the Home.
DO you feel secure from adulte--
ated or contaminated food and
drugs? It is because the Republican
party proposed, enacted and put into
execution the pure food and pure
drugs act When you buy meat or
meat products do you see the stamp
Of the Federal Inspector on it certi-
fying that it has been inspected and
passed as free OF all disease? That
stamp is placed there by virtue of the
Federal meat Inspection law, pro-
posed, enacted and put into execu-
ton by a Republican administra-
ion.
The Republican party makes an
appeal for the support Of the wo-
men voters upon its record of hav-
ng thus looked after the interests
