The National Administration

We indorse without qualification the
record of the Coolidge administration.
The record of the Republican party
Is a record of advancement of the Ma
ton. Nominees of Republican national
conventions have for 81 of the 70 years
since the creation of our party been the
Chief Executives of the United States
Under Republican inspiration and
largely under Republican executive di-
rection the continent has been bound
with steel rails, the oceans and great
rivers have been joined by canals, water
ways have been deepened and widened
for ocean commerce and with all high
American standard of wage and living
has been established.
BY unwavering adherence to sound
principles. through the wisdom Of Re-
publican policies and the capacity OF
Republican administrations. the founda-
tons have been laid and the greatness
and prosperity of the country firmly es-
tablished.
Prosperity Under Coolidge.
Never has the soundness of Repub-
Ecan policies been more amply demon
strated and the Republican genius for
administration been better exempl1fled
than during the last five years under
No better guarantee Of prosperity and
contentment among all our people at
home, no more reliable warranty Of pro-
lection and promotion Of American in
tevests abroad can be given than the
pledge 10 maintain and continue the
Coolidge policies. This promise we give
and viii faithfully perform.
Under this administration the coun-
try has been lifted from the depths OF
a great depression TO level of pros
perity. Economy has been raised to the
dignity Of q principle Of government.
A standard of character in public serv-
ice has been established under the
Chief Executive which has given To the
people of the country feeling OF sta
hslity and confidence SO all have felt
encouraged to proceed on new under
takings in trade and commerce. A
foreign policy based on the traditional
American position and carried on with
vision and steadfastness has extended
American influence throughout the
world and everywhere promoted and
protected American interests.
High Level Of Wages.
The mighty contribution TO general
wezi-being which can be made BY a
government controlled by men Of char
acter and courage, whose abilities ars
equal To their responsibilities. Is self
evident and should not blind US TO
the consequences which its loss would
entail. Under this administration a
high level Of wages and living has been
Established and maintained. The door
Of opportunity has been opened vide

er comfort and leisure. and the mutual
profit has been evident in the incrcas-
1saaiY harmonious relations between ern-
faoYers and employees. and the steady

Of the industries II has also been made
evident By the increasing enrollments
Of Dir youth In the technical schools

fly as a people, 10 lend hand OF sue
cor not only 10 those overcome by dis

eign lands With all there has been
q steady decrease IN the burden of
Federal taxation. releasing 70 ts1e people
the greatest possible portion Of the re-
suits Of their labor from Government

For the Republican party We are JUS
tilted In claiming a major share of the
credit for the position which the Unit
Cd states occupies today as the most
favored nation on the gloDe. but IL IL

and prosperity Ehieh We enjoy can be
shattered. II not destroyed. II this be-
lief in the honesty and sincerity Of our
Government is In any way affected. a
continuation ot this great public peace
Of mind now existing which makes for
