Means, Chief Says

WASHINGTON, July 6.-(P-De-
claring the republican party would
follow an instructive and informa-
tive course in the campaign, Chair
man Work OF the national committee
today told his co-workers that the
"promptlngs Of conscience and per-
sonal liberty within the law were
not proper subjects for political de-
bate
The republicans, Work said, were
interested solely in preserving the
foundation Of good government ad-
mlnistration through its party or
gaElzation and wished to secure COM
plete unity IN this common purpose.
he outlined as the first work to be
done the securing Of complete Co
operation between the state leaders
and their ~lieutenants and said that
he wished this line of endeayor TO
follow down from the national COM
mittee 10 the state organizations.
Lauds Import Levy
The national chairman stressed
that a tariff on imports 10 protect
u workmen in the mills, mines and
fields against the cheap labor of
competing nations, and TO give en-
ployment 10 our workers, that they
may buy the produce of our farms
was one of the outstanding issues Of
the campaign"
He said IN part:
"A tariff on imports TO protect our
workmen IN the mills, mines and
fields against the cheap labor Of com-
peting nations, and to give employ
ment to our workers, that they may
buy the produce of our farms, is of
course, one o fthe outstanding issues
of this campaign. Our people should
vote to protect the American payroll,
vastly larger than that of all the rest
of the world. II is our one universal
asset. We must protect il to main
tain our high standards Of living.
"The republican party is most for
tunate in the selection Of u stan
dard bearers. The favorable reaction
over the country at large to these
men since their nomination has been
almost unprecedented.
Hoover Appeal Wide
Former associates of Secretary
Hoover in the food administration
and his relief activities overseas are
eager for the opportunity to assist in
his election. Racial groups, because
Of his services for their relatives in
foreign countries, who were dis
tressed by hunger and restitution
now wish 70 demonstrate their appre-
citation. The thinking masses, especi-
ally progressive and business people
have unlimited confidence in him.
These groups, ordinarily inactive IN
political campaigns, can in the pres
emit one be Modified as never before
particularly in getting voters 70
register and enlisting their active eff
forts before and on election day.
Hoover committees and clubs
shulde be stimulated as auxiliaries 10
the regular organization and encour-
aged 10 associate themselves with
these organizations 70 secure a COM
mon direction Of effort
ave should begin now 10 impress
upon the thoughtless, the privilege Of
the franchise and urge them 70 pre-
mare themselves for its exercise on
election day. Eight millions Of
young men and young women are now
eligible 10 vote for a president Tor
the first time. They should be given
special consideration by our commit
tee members. ,
"Our speakers should be advised
10 stress their objections to opposing
candidates for the substantial rea-
sons that they are democrats; that
the election Of these candidates would
install the democratic party IN con-
troll az this government, and prece-
dents warrant the belief that nation
al prosperity would tease.
"Politics is the art and science Of
government and should be so regard
ed. In all the history OF our great
country since the republican party
was founded it has been the domi-
mating influence that has carried US
forward 70 world supremacy. Our
efforts should, therefore, be directed
TO the selection of men and women
Of this proven party who are quail
flied and willing to serve the country
from the highest posts"
