WHAT REPUBLICANS MA
TlONALLY STAND FOR

The outstanding feature of the
eighteenth Natioral Convention Of
1.-THE Republican party which has
Just concluded it's labors, was
the voicing by the delegates of their
faith in Calvin Coolidge. The pres
ident and his running mate Chas. c.
Dawes, another striking example OF
sterling American manhood, go be-
fore the voters Or a platform which
should win for the Republican ticket
the votes of many Democrats. The
platform is free from political burR-
um 1t is an honest, straightfor
ward statement Of the thrgs for
which the Republican party stands.
A brief summary of the platform
shows that the President and his par
ty are pledged to governmental ecor-
omy; to tax reforms that will still
further reduce the burden of taxa
ton; that the strictest scrutiny will
be made so that the integrity of the
Budget System may be improved
Il de elares that the Republican ad-
ministration slashed 5000, 100000 from
the cost oof government and elimin
ated $4,000 employees from the pay
rolls; that the Administration lifted
the tax burden some $1.250,0 100000
per annum at the same time reducing
the public debt by over $4,000 900, 00C.
The platform refers 10 the facts
that il, 1920, when the Republicans
took office, that there We're about
three million mer OUT of work in the
country and that today there is little
if any unemployment. The party
pleged 10 give to the farmer all nee
