ed for public office but that they
shall subscribe to principles and pol
icies which have stod the test of ex-
perience and are embodied in the
program of one Of our great political
parties. The patry like an army Is
dependent for its effectiveness upon
the individual unit. It will inevitably
disintegrate If numerous scattered
units shall fall from the faith"
Senator harrington at Island
Park said, Loyalty knows no com
promise, it Is absolute or 1t is noth-
ing. Such spirit as that and such
an appreciation of President Cool
idge's call for responsible parth gov
eminent will bring US back from the
personal government toward which
we have been steadily drifting
thoughtful citizens will resolve any
doubt regarding individual candi-
dates In favor of supporting the
party that presents principles and
campaign methods of which they
approve. Differences Of opinion will
inc .itably assist in any virile asso-
citation of strong men. The differ
ence between candidates of opposing
parties, however, are far more fun
damental. Voting in any spirit or
personal dislike. loses sight of the
principles which are involved. Far
more effective cooperation between
the departments of the state both
executive and legislative can be Sc,
cured If the officers are devoted to
the same fundamental purposes and
principals in government.
How can the friends of a. snc.
cessful candidate expect cooperation
II they are not ready to cooperate
in full measure in the support of
nominees for other places upon the
ticket? Americana in increasing
measure are coming to recognize
that party government and party
loyalty alone can give that continuity
OF policy that is essential to prog
ress and that stability that exalts
measures above men,"
The Senator also spoke along lines
which he has covered in previous
meetings declaring that "a vote for
me on next Monday means a vote
for a Republican administration of
the State-nothing more and moth
ing less. Upon the record of the
Republican party and upon the
pladges of its, platform. that means
an uncompromising enforcement of
all our laws in order that the priv
Hedges of American citizenship may
be preserved intact. We all very
much desire the protection of our
constitution for our person, our
property and our religious liberty. To
religious freedom. America was
dedicated above all else and our
constitution carefully provides that
no religious test shall be applied for
any office or trust under this State
Now in the closing days OF the
oar n or l{eyfn <a1 T
am attacked on the ground of my
religion. A curious comendary upon
the consistency of the opposition.
I'VE cannot consistently ask the
protection of our constitution for our
person or property and our religion
and yet refuse to render voluntary
obedience to another clause of this
same social contract because we may
believe it interferes with out per-
sonal liberty. The constitution will
stand or fall. In these days of a
radical unrest seeking to undermine
its very foundations no citizen can
really claim to be loyal to his flag
unless he Is loyal to the constitution
that the flag symbolizes.
After respect for law is maintain
ed we are then concerned with econ

is entitled to the same care in the ex-
renditure of public funds that ne

that high standard the Republican
party must expect to be judges as it
accounts for its stewardship of your
! money and your affairs. We have
given more money to the schools, the
roads and the hospitals of the state
and a continuance of this policy is
pledged under Republican admin

The tax burden may wisely be
! liehtened not by parsimony that
shall starve the essential activities of
the state but rather by bringing
! more persons and more property here
to share the burden with us. One
! hundred million dollars has been in
vested in our state in the last few
years by non-residents and they are
now paying over 100000 a year in
taxes. These investments may be al
