Milford chronicle., 1930-09-19


of the Republican Party of the State
of Delaware, in convention assem-
bled at Dover, on the ninth day of
September, 1880, hereby present to
the electorate of our State a resume
of our political faith and a declara-
ton of the political principles of
our party to the futherance OF
which we pledge our representa-
tives both National and State.
Party Allegiance
Our allegiance to the Republican
Party of the Nation and State re-
mains steadfast and unbroken and
we unhesitatingly re-assert our be-
lief in its Fundamental principles,
and we stand firmly and squarly for
the continuance of the sound eco
nomic and fiscal policies prevailing
in both Nation and State admins
tration.
National Administration
The safety of our institutions de-
mands the maintenance of orderly
government and we heartily COM
mend President Hoover for his
earnest efforts to improve the
handling of the difficult problems of
law observance. Holding firmly to
the principles of sound government,
he has succeeded in his efforts for
efficiency in administrative Details
economy in public expenditures,
safe reduction in taxes, promotion
of friendships with all nations and
serving the interests of humanity
generally.
We further commend the Republi-
can National Administration, under
the able and conservative leadership
of President Hoover, for the state
manship that has resulted in the
enactment of a tariff law, legisla-
tion for farm relief, reduction in in
come taxes, independent citizenship
for women, increased benefits to
pensioners and departmental re-or-
ganizatiOns.
Congressional Representation
Called upon to face bitter, and at
times fierce, opposition in fulfilling
the party pledges as to tariff revi-
sion. farm relief, cancellation OF
foreign debts and compensation for
disabled veterans, our representa-
tives in the Congress of the United
States have earned our sincere ap-
probation and we hereby express
our entire satisfaction in their eff
forts in our behalf and for faithful
services rendered.
Tariff Revision
Contending since its foundation
that the protective policy is in the
interest of American labor, the Re-
publican Party still regards the tar
iff question as a national issue and
the enactment of a new tariff law
as a landmark in our political his
tory.
We believe the traditional policy
of a protective tariff will be justified
by the present tariff law and only
by the continuance of such policy
can industry, commerce and agri-
culture prosper to the high degree
it has been the privilege of the
American people to enjoy.
Every power and instrument at
the disposal of the National Govern
ment is being exerted in the inter
est of agriculture. Special farm re-
lief legislation has been enacted for
the express purpose of assisting the
American farmer in every possible
way consistent with the principles
of sound economics. This law we
hope and believe will bring to the
farmer greatly improved market
conditions, and this together with
the new tariff should bring to the
farmer a new and definite prosper
ity.
Labor
A fair days wage for fair days
work is the everlasting right OF
man and to protect this right by the
twin policy of protective tariff and
restrictive immigration the Repub-
lican Administration has stood op-
emily and confidently.
We approve this policy by means
of which the American workman re-
ceives not only higher wages, but
his wages have a greater buying
power, than any other workman in
the world.
The Constitution and Law Enforce
ment
The Constitution is the founda-
mental law of both Nation and State.
effective is essential to orderly gov
ernment; the enforcement of laws
becomes a prime duty. These ques-
tions should not become partisan
questions for they are as broad as
society itself.
Every effort is being made to full
fill the pledge of the Republican
Party as to the observance and en-
forcement of Constitutional provi-
sions and to this policy we give our
hearty approval.
AS a result of careful investiga-
ton and acts of administration
agencies, improvement in the en-
forcement of law and relief of court
