arranged to spend some time in
Alaska last summer and plan to
visit the majority Of the countries
OF South America in the near fu-
ture. / was concerned with the
state Of affairs which believe
prevailed in the Republican Ma
tional Committee. It was my opin-
ion there was much dissension in
the Committee and / had no desire
to become q part of the controversy
between those elements which were
seeking the Presidential nomina-
tion for their own qualification and
the furtherance Of their particular
policies. There has been much crit
icism of the Republican Party
leadership, and, to some extent, /
believe this criticism of no policy
and ''mee-too-ism" is justified. Now
Il think the situation is changing
rapidly, and it will be possible to
develop a real policy and conduct
a campaign which will present real
issues for the American public to
eValuate and decide at the polls. l
can understand that there has been
no real issue for some time, be-
cause of the war and the necessary
period following the war for the
administration in power to demon
strate it's PHILOSOPHERS and abilities.
The philosophers, extravaganza and
| inefficiency of the Democratic ad-
ministratiOn are now becoming in
creasingly obvious. This affords the
Republican Party real opportun-
ity to present a platform and policy
in opposition to the present admin
istration.
''The time has arrived when the
Republican Party can regain the
Teins of government and, in my
opinion, must regain control, if the
people of the United States is to
remain a free people. / feel it is
therefore, my duty to exert every
effort to return the Republican Par
ty to Office in Delaware and Wash
ington.
Il have reached this conclusion
after mature consideration Of what
l have seen in this country and
what l have previously seen, as an
eye witness, in England, Russia,
Australia and New Zealand. / am
very happy to know what has hap
pened recently in Australia and
New Zealand in reversing the trend
of socialism that has prevailed in
these countries.
"If should toss this glass up to
the ceiling of this room you all
know it would fall to the floor.
There is not single person here
who would question the law of
gravity. l can state, with equal as
surance, that the continuation of
the present administration in Della
ware and Washington will lead to
socialism. The Democratic Party
cannot halt or reverse the trend,
because it is a party that is in
debted to and made up of special
interest groups. In the South the
, Democratic Party champions white
supremacy; in the North the re-
verse is true. In the industrialized
centers the Democrats owe their
strength to the Unions and Left
9 Wingers. In other sections of the
country, as in the West, for ex-
7 ample, the promise is irrigation and
the development of power facili-
ties, and the like. The Democratic
, Party must cater to each of the
! special groups of which it is made
up to remain in power. The COM
q mon denominator of these groups
4 is a strong centralized socialistic
: government.
