SATURDAY JUNE &c, 1913

which is always the barometer
OF our national prosperity.
The Republican President and
the Republican Congress will
deal realistically with the pro-
blems Of housing, OF the streng-
thening of social security, and OF
the full protection TO the public
health without resort to the
dreary and inadequate regimen
tation of state medicine.
Republican leadership will
discharge, as fully as agreat ma
ton can, tremendous obligation,
to our veterans. We shall never
seek, as the New Dealers did
in 1873, to ach eve economy by
Voiding or trimming our pay
ments to sick and disabled vet
Grams. Rather, we shall seek
| constantly to give all veterans
new and greater opportunities
TO build happy and useful lives.
Republican leadership will
carry out the mandate of the
people to end the pampering OF
Communists in America. We
shall ferret out and drive out
every red and pink on the fed
eral payrolls. We shall guard
carefully the freedom ofspeech
and thought of every American,
but we shall expose every sub
versive Individual and organiza-
ton. We shall change the social
| climate which has permitted for
e1gn opponents III Marxism to
bask in the profitable sunshine
OF publicity while they abuse
/ our American hospitality,
The Republican President we
choose here will believe in the
sound PRINCIPLES of efficiency
and ECONOMY whic hthe Con
gress has espoused. He will
conduct a through examination
of every department, agency
and commission; he will remove
every payroll parasite living off
the taxes paid by American
producers; he will free the
! American people from the cost
ly burden Of the New Deal bur-
eaucIacy.
The Republican Presiden will
live by the Constitution. He will
not try to circumvent it by
tricks or stratagems or secret
deals with foreign powers. He
will respect the Constitutional
powers of the Congress. he will
never tamper with our courts.
Under a Republican President
we shall restore to our local
and state governments their
rightful authority to exercise the
home rule which has always
been the cornerstone Of our lib
berries.
Above all, Republican leader
ship will preserve the freedom
and initiative of our American
economy. 1t was the good for
tune of Americans to find "a
country rich beyond measure in
resources. Americans on vir-
gin continent achieved a civili-
zation, an agricultural and in
dustrial production, general
distribution of wealth and well
being, a standard Of health and
| education, an emancipation of
women, an openness of oppoft-
unity, which have never been
equalled in the 5000 years of the
worlds recorded history.
1t is for the Republican party
to realize, to point out, THAT
America is only at the thresh-
hold of it's material destiny, the
foothills Of it's glory.
OuH party and our govern
me MT have been an effective
part Of that development. The
| westward marc hOf progress go
es on from frontier to frontier.
We must further the expansion
Of industry in the West, in
building q great commerce IN
the Pacific, and in promoting
the prosperity and usefulness OF
| the resources of our territories
of Alaska and Hawaii, now on
the Threshold Of statehood.
The triumphal march OF in
ventive genius must proceed. In
the half century of my own life
time, the daily life of every
American has been enriched be-
yond comprehension by the mir
acles Of the laboratory and the
inventors attic.
Let us not forge that these
achievements have not been
the products of an over-power-
ing government. They have TAX
en- place under economic free
dom. No Socialist or Commun-
list government has produced
anything even relatively COM
parable.
These productive marvels are
not tn emere windfalls of the
the fortune that gave us great
natural resources. Nor are they
the products of a superior mind
or race. They are the products
of honest work, of devoted SER
vice, Of thrift, energy, courage
and faith.
And al 1--we have accomplished
can be just a smaple Of what is
ahead. The inventions, the pro-
cesses, the formulas we learned
in war can be made to serve
mankind in peace. Particularly
the science Of nuclear physics,
which produced the atomic bomb
with it's fearsome possibilities of
world destruction, offers hope
for tremendous progress in our
quest for new sources of power,
