a way which would destroy oppor.
tunity and initiative. They woulc
put an end to private industry
They would regiment all men anc
all women, and put all our people ii
shackles of bondage to an auto.
cratic, power-lustful bureaucracy
Those who advocate the rigid per.
manent regimentation of the
people do not dare tt
declare openly their purpose. The,
scheme with stealth, and under tn,
cloak Of war activities, to achiev,
their purpose. They slyly plan
the propaganda that the war con.
trolls must continue long after tn,
war is over. What they want il
permanent control of all industry
and to dominate all phases of oul
life
Compare the attitudes and actions
OF this administration with tn,
First World War democratic Pres.

We Republicans are determined
to keep American citizens from be.
ing chained like vassals to a New
Deal bureaucratic machine.
In the Congress we have fought
this battle. With the assistance Of
patriotic Jeffersonian Democrats
who put their country before party
we have been able to hold in check
this movement, and we have pre-.
vented the consummation of many
dangerous objectives.
Now at Crucial Point.
We have now reached a crucia
point. We must have reserves ir
this battle to hold the lines of con.
stitutional government. Give us 8
President and a Repub.
lican Congress, and we can all &c
to sleep at night secure in the
knowledge that we shall continue te
enjoy the blessings of the free gov
ernment and liberty bestowed upor
us by the brave, hardy pioneers who
blazed the way for our republic.
The New Deal bureaucrats can be
expected in this campaign to picture
new and more alluring rainbows As
usual they will be long en- glowing
promises. But as Lincoln we'll said
You can fool all of the people some
OF the time; some of the people all
OF the time, but you can't fool all
the people all of the time" The
people have lost faith in New Dea,
promises. Their performances have
never measured up to their promises
Now the day of reckoning is at hand
The people are tired of bungline
and fumbling waste and extrav.
agance; arrogance and bureaucratic
dictatorship. They know that unles.
there is a change from the direction
in which we are now travelling ma
tional bankruptcy, confiscatory taxes
and complete governmental reg
and control of all oul
activities is dead ahead. The sure
way to avert what would be a maioi
transformation of our political and
social ideals is to put new govern
mental policy in effect in Wash
ington.
Republicans Have Program.
The New Dealers assert, when
their failures are revealed, that their
critics have no policy, no program
That is just as false as are some OF
the doctrines of the New Deal.
The Republican party has had
and has now, both a policy and q
program. Our policy and our pro-
gram have been set forth on many
in conferences of Repub-
licanS in Congress; and at meetings
Of the national committee. AT
we outlined our creed.
Our policy is positive policy
This policy is to protect, to defend
and TO perpetuate our free, consti-
,utional form of Government, ou1
free enterprise system of economy
our system of free society. This is
! real American policy, and it is
broad enough to be embraced by
men and women of every party who
want to see individual freedom and
individual opportunity continued in
We extend a warm well
come to every American to join us
IN this historic struggle. We want
The participation of everybody in
putting our Nation back on a firm
The Democratic Party which we
nave known and with which we
have honorably struggled on SO
many fields but which was a party
of Americans who believed in the
system, has lost its pow
er over its own destiny.
Must Emancipate Democrats.
The Democratic Party has been
captured by minority whose phil
oSophy 1t despiseS. 1t has become
/ prisoner of the New Deal. Thank
Sod some of it's leaders realize
his and have had the courage to
evolt. This election, curiously, is
lot merely a fight to put the Re-
into Office but, by a
strange twist Of fate, it is also a
light to emancipate the Democrats.
Back in September, 1912, the Re
members in Congress set
'orth their policy and their pro-
gram. These declarations in sub
stance were:
l. The Nations war effort must
continue unabated until complete
decisive victory Is achieved for the
United States and our Allies. We
shall continue to demand efficient
and unrelenting prosecution of the
war on the battle fronts of the
world and in the home fields pro.
ouction and delivery of machines
munitions and supplies of war. We
must unfailingly provide our owr
armed forces and those of our Allies
with all necessary implements, mu-
nitions and supplies, in ample quan
titles, in time, where needed. We
VIII compromisingly put aside every
interest, consideration
and activity which in any way in
terferes with these objectives.
