1--WE ask nobody to surrender any Of
his right Of individual opinion. We
recognize that Wyoming is q part Of
the United States the same as Rhode
Island, and that Oregon has the same
interest and must have the same voice
on questions affecting the national
welfare as Massachusetts,. We want
our historic party to be clearing
house Of absolutely free, unfettered,
and Embossed individual judgments.
We ask only that measure of gener-
osity and tolerance that will make
possible the compromises, the agree
ments, the adjustments, on which at
last all legislative accomplishments
must be based.
"Presicely because Republicans
have always been capable Of making
these concessions of common sense to
the common good, we have earned the
confidence Of the nation. Just in the
measure that we shall continue cap

practical compromises, We shall de-

MINOR DIFFERENCES
SHOULD BE SUNK
BIZ PARTY IN POWER
Republican National Chairman ExtOls
Partisanship In Address to
Women Voters.

New York. - The sinking of minor
differences in order to discharge the
broad responsibility that is imposed
upon a party when 1t comes into au-
thority, was urged by Chairman John
T. Adams, of the Republican National
Committee, in an address recently be-
fore the Women's National Republican
Club. Mr.. Adams said in part:
"The Woman's National Republican
Club sounds good to a Republican
who believes in our system Of gov
eminent. Those who have been party
men all their lives are naturally in
favor of women being party women.
In our bi-party country, perhaps the
best thing for woman is to be Re-
publican partisan; the second best
thing, Democratic partisan; and
about the poorest thing she can do, po-
litically, is to be a non-partisan or 4
woman partisan. There is about as
much logac in the women forming
political party of their own, as in hav-
ing the green-eyed, or the red-haired,
or the bald-headed people set them
selves up as a political party Every
time we learn of the organization of a
woman's Republican club, or wo-
mans Democratic club, either one. we
think the women are going to justify
our confidence, that when they got
their political rights" they would
rescognize their political responsible
ties. Good Republicans are better
Americans. and they would much
rather have the women become Demo-
Gratis than have them organize under
the pale banner Of non-partisanship
or the factional standard Of woman's
party.
There never was a time when
greater problems confronted our coun-
try than now, nor when responsible
leaders faced greater difficulties in
the solution of those problems. 1t was
never more important than now that |

questions, should be guided by their /,

government, rather than BY individual

government, rather than by individual
or fractional interests. Few greater
misfortunes could befall our country
in these trying times than to have our
civic energies frittered away in con-
tests among groups, factions ,occupa-
tional interests, or social divisions.
Just as we feel responsibility to
the nation, which we believe must lead
us into one or the other of the great
political parties, so we should have
sense of responsibility for the party
that will favor proper measure of
solidarity, or unification. Your polit-
ical party will not hold your respect II
1t fails to keep its promises. We don't
believe that the millions who voter
the Republican ticket year ago were
united as to all details of party pol
icy. But we do believe that there was
sufficient community of general aim
and purpose to warrant the sinking Of
minor and individual differences, in
order to discharge the great, broad,
general responsibility that is impos-
ed upon party when 1t comes into
authority.
Republicans have always had more
of this capacity to submerge the minor
differences for the sake OF the major
and national accomplishments. Our
traditions have been ofachievement, of
efficiency, Of getting results, of doing
the job. For two generations the ma
ton has never failed to turn to our
party in any cisis in which there was
a compelling demand for these quail
ties. A little over a year ago, after
some experience with another leader
ship. the country turned over to us its |
mandate - about the biggest task in |
national rehabilitation that has ever
been turned over to any party.
1--WE can take just satisfaction in
the ten month of Republican admin
lstration. Our Congress has made a
record in constructive, progressive
legislation that has hardly been equal
ed by any previous Congress. We have
restored peace to our country and
have led the world farther on the
highway of disarmament than it has
aver before travelled in all its history

Ten Peaches For
Every Persons in
United States

Ten peaches for every man, wo-
man and child in !he United States
were handled by the Central of
Georgia Railway Company last year,
according to statement OF President
w. A. Winburn, who tells in
interesting fashion of the methods
Of handling perishable freight. In
addition to the peach crop the
Central transports much of the
Georgia watermelon crop, also Cuban
pinappIts. Perishable freight must
be handled in a rapid and depend
able manner, Mr.. Winburn says,
otherwise consuming Centers would
have to depend upon limited areas
nearby and trade would be con-
stricted.
The railway executive goes on to
discuss other features of freight
service, some Of which are little
understood even by shippers, though
the details are very interesting. He
outlines the methods by which fast
rail and steamer service is main
tanned and says nineteen vessels can
be loaded and unloaded at one time
on the Savannah waterfront Of the
company.
In order to be ready for reviving
business the Central Of Georgia has
added, since Federal control, 10
locomotives, 500 ventilated box cars
and 100 flat cars. 1t owns 315|
locomotives and SIG freight cars.
The President says that all agents,
employees and officers Of the road
are ready atall times to assist patrons
and give full information and he
urgesthe public to avail themselves
of this service.
