The convention which gave to
you the nomination now officially
presented, also formulated a de-
claratlon OF principles which con-
sCituteS the chart OF RepubAcaniSn
Tor the next four years. in our
platform Will be found a reiter-
alton of those fundamentals OF
Republican policy which are ira
ditional, and through which our
party has been able to accomplish
SO much for our country ana its
people.
Republicans, however, do not
alone cling TO their past achieve
mentS, no matter how great our
pride is in them. With changing
conditions, our party, always fleX-
ible and responsive to the expand
ing needs OF the country, has en-
barked upon great and desirable
reforms which may be accomplish
ed within the limits of the Con-
stitutiOn and within the scope OF
sound economic law. We have met
each new phase of our national
existence, each new problem OF
our national advance, with pro-
poSalS, both legislative and eXecu-
tive, which have been adequate
in their nature and which, when
applied, have proved successful in
their operation.
Accordingly, in our present
platform we offer to the country
those proposals which We be-
ieve responsive to the real needs
of the people and to which we
feel sure the people will produce
a favorable reaction.
Nevertheless, we recognize that
it is not merely the form OF
words we should look to as we ex-
anime the conflicting claims OF
party organizations for popular
favor. 1t is the underlying spirit
which animates those words.
The spirit of our platform is
unmistakable-and it springs from
our record of faith kept through
out the entire period of our part
in history. This spirit, you, sir,
personify. We know that in your
leadership this spirit will enlighten
and enkindle the cooperation not
only of the great party which has
thus sought you out, but that l
will engender the conradeShip o
that other great body of voter
whose independence of politica
thought finds expression in til,
company of those like you. who
maintain phrity of ideal in asso-
citation with organized partisan ac-
tivity.
In this we know that you vii
not seek to transcend or to dis
tort or to nullify any portion 0!
your party'S platform or any por-
ton of the Constitution of the
United States from which Ou
platform springs We know that
your Interpretation of fundamental
principleS-in both the Consti-
tuition and platform will ring true
