II has been forcefully said that the
..nublican party of today finds its
.trourest Justification in the person.
sItv Of Calvin Coolidge. He has
saan the nations chief executive for
little more than a year, during
which time he has displayed an in
oIippnce and strength of character,
and a patriotism which has already
Samied his administration as one
of tbe strongest and most helpful that
the country has ever had.
We recognize in the problem of
AVIATION one of the greatest that
confront the nation at the present
time This great problem has been
stacked by the chief executive In
uch a manner as to promise to the
UeOple of the nation the greatest
mssjble manner of relief. The bud
ret system, which is purely a prod
net Of the republican administration,
has itself placed the government upon
business foundation for the first
time in the history of the nation, and
, has been the means of great saving
Of money, and providing greater eff
hciency in government. This item
alone characterizes, in n most sane
and forceful way, return to common
sense government.
Through the adoption of strict bus
mess methods in the administration of
the affairs of government, great in
road has been made upon our public
debt. A reduction has been made In
the public debt of over four billion,
one hundred thirty million.
In the application of the republi-
can tariff, which is now a law, the
farmers and other producers of the
country have found a logical and de-
leryed relief from the devastating
free trade politics employed by the
democratic party. We believe, how
ever, that all tariff legislation, de
signed to protect industrial develop
ment, should without discrimination,
e extended with absolute equality
to agricultural production, which con-
shtutes the basic element of our ma
tiOnal supremacy and progress.
The honest and constructive record
Of the republican party from the days
o. Lincoln, to the days of Calvin Cool
ldge, is such that it cannot be dis
credited by isolated instances of dis
honest officers of the government,
VINO claim office under a republican
administration. No party has a cor
uer on governmental honesty, and
On this proposition, we stand firmly,
Niln Calvin Coolidge, in the statement
uat THE guilty shall be punished"
we endorse the national platform
VI the republican party adopted at
Vleyeland, in June, 1924
The republican party presents 70
ue people in the coming campaign, a
acAet Of which it is very proud. The
eIaracter of Calvin Coolidge is typic-
any American, and presents the A
usriean people with an ideal in high
nnuued citizenship, which is an in
spiauon to the manhood and woman
uOVu OIL the United States. The re-
p' party is likewise proud Of
s.s running mate, Charles G. Dawes,
s ~nvSe great accomplishments as a
- s'uer OF the late world war, as chief
w. supply procurement for the Amer
n t,an army in France; as director or
