houlders and upon those of poster-
ly. Great empires nave men swop-
rom the eatb, ancient nionarcme
live crumbled In an hour, and long
stabllshed governments have tot-
'ered. fallen and passed away like a
atrh In the night..
"All these things stare up In the
ace, pierce our attention and arrest
iir thoughts. Hut this is not nil and
vhnt remains, perhaps more than
nvthlng else makes Incredibly diffl-
ult the immense task which HeB he-
ore us, one noi to lie escnpeu, oui

-leonle to the top of their bent If
fuce It bravely, looking facts always
in the face and determined to do their
best never promising what they
cannot perform and never yielding to
tl.e facile temptations of momen
tary success.
"One ol our great political parties
bus failed to meet nay, It is In a
considerable measure responsible
lor, the very perilous conditions of
the hour. The only other organized
political force strong enough to grap
ple with the encircling dungera Is the
republican oartv. If thut too fails
and breaks down, the Russian de- 1 laws are once made they
scent Into barburlsm will begin to
draw near. Such an end is Inconceiv
able with the American people, but
they must realize the peril and drive
it buck Into the durkuesu whence It
comes. We, keepers of the republi
can faith, must therefore succeed.
We must not know defeat when the
great responsibility comes to our
hands. To the service of 1S60
must add a like service In 1920.
larger victory at any time could be
won by any political parly. We must
both earn and deserve It. We did
not full In the civil war. We shall
not, must not fail now.
"In order to render to our country
the service which we desire to render
ii nd which we can accomplish in
large measure at least. If we under
take it with all our ability and in a
disinterested public spirit, we must
huve the opportunity for service.
That opportunity can only come thru
our being entrusted by the people
with both the legislative and execu
tive authority. To this end Mr. Wil
son and his dynasty, his heirs and
assigns, or anybody that is his. any
body who with bent knee has served
his purpose, must be driven from nil
control, from all Influence upon the
government of the United States.
They must be driven from office and
power, not because they are demo
crats, but because Mr. Wilson stands
for a theory of administration and
government which Is not American.
Ills methods, his constant, if Indirect
assaults upon rhe constitution and
upon all the traditions of free gov
ernment, strike at the very life of
the American principles upon which
our government has alwnys rested.
The return of Hie democrats to power
with Mr. WIlBon or one of his dis
ciples still the leader and master of
a great party, which before tils ad-
never must there be permitted any
government by a single man or by a
group of men or by an organize I
minority. Tyranny lurks In them all
and truo freedom withers when they
! ascend the throne. There must bd
but one law In this country and that
is the law framed by the men chosen
by the people themselves to make
the laws. The chief magistrate must
understand that it is his duty not
only to enforce but to abide by the
luwa, the laws made by the represen
tatives of the people, and when those
must ne
obeyed until the people see fit to
change them. The will of the people
expressed in lawful manner through
the government of the United Stales
must be supreme for the government
of the United States can neither suf
fer revolt nor submit to any ques
tion of Ita authority on the part of
any man or any group of men or any
we i minority of Its people, when free
tio government falls, autocracy and
revolution and the downfall of civl
llzatlon as we have known It are at
hand. Progress will cease and the
decline to lower stages of develop
men! will have begun. True progress : itianr medio
must rest upon any proceed from the i luost profound effect
sound principles which sustain all
free government and to such prog
ress the republican party always has
been committed. Loyalty to the
United Slates and obedience to the
peoples laws are the cornerstones of
the republican and should be main
tained and upheld by every man and
woman In every corner of our great
land. Keep these principles sacred
nnd untouched and all the rest will
follow.
"Lot me turn, first to the economic
conditions, so profoundly distorted
and confused by the war, which affect
our dally life, are essential to our
business and upon which our ma
terial prosperity and all the benefits,
both mental and moral, which flow
from It when honestly acquired, so
largely depend. Already a beginning
has been made by a republican con
gress, working under all the difficul
ties und opposition imposed by a
hostile executive. Many vital eco
nomic measures and especially pro
tective tariff legislation to guard our
Industries are impossible with a
We have made a remarkable Be
ginning, but we are fully cousaoua
that it Is only a beginning. Mucn
has been dune, much more remains
id do and we pledge ourselves to ex
ert all our energies to deal with what
la still undone. The wrocK ana con
fusion of a great war. In business,
flnmiee and all economic conditions,
cannot be cleaied away and fully re'
adjusted In a year and a half nor in
deid in twice thai time. Reconstruc
tion must be steady and energetic,
but it also demands care If It Is to be
of luting value. The riBe of prices,
the high cost of living which reach
daily Into every home, is the most
pressing as It is the most difficult
and essential problem which con
fronts us. Some of the eourcea of
this trouble can be reached by legis
lation, although not all. but every
thine that can be effected by law
should be done at onie. Profiteer
in the charging of extortionate and
unjustified prices, which Is stupid as
well as unlawful, are subject now to
ample punitive laws. These laws
should be enforced, others if neces
sary added, and the offenders both
great and small should be pursued
and punished, not in the headlines
of newspapers after the manner of
the nresent attorney general, but
quietly, thoroughly and efficiently. In
the courts of the United States.
Something more in this direction can
he accomplished by the proper regu
latiou of cold storage, and a bill for
that purpose has passed both houses
and Is now in conference.
Another deep-seated cause of the
rise of prices, more effective in Its
results ulthough less obvious thnn
profiteering, is the abnormal in
crease per capita of the circulating
medium. This has doubled since the
war began and If In the space of
few years the amount of the circu-
is doubled it has
In stimulating
and advancing prices. During the
war credits have been enormously
inflated and there have been large
additions to the currency through
the federal reserve banks. Hence ll
Is possible to check the advance of
prices by law. We can provled for
the control of credits In such manner
as to give preference to the most es
sential products. We are also able
to reduce the amount of the circulat
Ing medium In the form of federal
reserve bank notes, the authority
having been given during the wnr to
increase the Issue of these notes from
two billions to four billions. It
should be one of the first acts of con
gress to deal with this essential
point and It would have a marked ef
feet in reducing prices by steadying
them and bringing them down to a
lower and more normal level.
Iteniedy l.les in Production.
The must potent remedy of nil
against advances in the high cost of
living, however, lies in production,
which cannot be reached directly by
statutes. If production begins to

of the war Is the giavest obstacle In

principles, would he a long step lit
the direction of the autocrncy for
which Mr. Wilson yearns and a heavy
blow to the continuance of free rep
i senttitive government as we have
always conceived and venerated II.
The peril inseparable from Mr. Wil
s'in and his system goes far beyond
all party divisions, for it InvolveB the
fundamental question of whether the
government of the United Slates
shall be a government of laws and
not of men, whether it shall be a
free representative government or
I that of a dictatorship resting on
plebesclte carried by repellent
methods. Mr. Wilson and the autoc
racy he represents, and all which
those who believe in his doctrines
nnd share his spirit represent, must
be put aside and conclusively ex
cluded from any-future control. Hear
this well in mind throughouf the

can only regain It by once and for

to turn us from the right road into

We therefore make our appeal for

great events have so crowded on each

been accomplished.

hound up with it. Without that de
j rent every chance of the right settle
j inent of the mighty questions bef:u-e
us, so sorely needed now and not

The ground thus cleared. It Is our
first duty as Americans to re-establish
certain essential principles which
have been both shaken and Invaded
shaken by the shock of war. In
vaded hy those who had their own
selilsh purposes to serve even In the
hour of the country's danger.
The earliest beliefs of men reveal
the trust of mankind In order, as the
divine conqueror of chaos and eter
nal night. A famous poet tells us
that 'older Is heaven's first Inw.' and
history repeals the sme Injunction.
All the civilization ever built up and
treasured by mankind has rested up
on the establishment of law and or
der, the supports of true liberty, the
firm foundations of prosperity and
progress, have always ruled In th.
United States and have been very
dear to Ihe hearts of the American
p ople. They must never be weak
ened or impaired unless we are
ready lo see all that we have care
fully hulli up go down In ruin and
mer forced once more Into the strug
gle nci'nst chaos. Followed by the
slow nnd toilsome climb out of the
darkness of anarchy lo Ihe height of
freedom and accomplishmit. To
nintnta'n law and order and a stable
gov, i-i.rieiu where Justlc rules and
ihe tights of all men. high and low,
rich and poor, shall be protected, we
must have a government of Ihe peo-
ihe rise in prices, by an Increase in
their pensions. The civil service re
tirement law. a long-deferred act of
Justice to raitliful servants of the
government, has been parsed. We
; have been obliged to rstore the army
i and navy to a pence footing, a work
i as diliicult as It was necessary. We
I have met this hy two lliosl important
; ti'ea-otres Hi- army and navy oav
, bill and the law for Ihe reorganiza
tion of the army on a peace basis.
Two of the most important acts of
any period, the shipping act for the
I upbuilding of the American marine
, and the settlement or the affairs of
, the shipping board and Ihe law es-
tabllshing ihe budget, a rreat nieas
, ure of economy and sound financi il
administration, are copspIc mis as our
' latest achievements. The budget bill
was vetoed hy the president at the
last moment on the ground that it
tnierrerrcd with his power of
nointment and removal.
The list of hen. flclal laws, passe.l
nnder adverse circumstance, might
be larsrely extended did not lime for
bid Hut these are enough to show
, the far-reaching results of the labors
of this eonrress. whose time is bin
i little more than half spent. Some ef
me master minds of the democratic
party are now chirruping awav like
np-
Ihing will be advanced by the simple
force of scarcity will inevitably
drive prices upward. The most es
sential remedy for high costs is lo
keep up and increase production und
particularly should every effort be
made lo advance the productivity of
Ihe farms. Just how much the gov
ernment can do in this direction is
uncertain, bul it can aid and sup
port and if anything can be done it
must not be omitted or overlooked.
At the same time it must not be for
gotten that there is a vast difference
ut J between the powers of the national
io- government in time of war and
those vhlch it possesses in time of
peace. The normal limitations of
times of peace restrict very much
the powers of the general govern
ment and In helping lo increase the
productivity of the farms, which
must he done through government
action, the republican party prom
ises to use every power In this direc
tion whether within the slate or
federal Jurisdiction.
1 have touched upon this matter
of prices and the high cost of living
beciiuse It Ls altogether the most Im
portant domestic question now he
fore the country and one to which
Ihe republican party should address
Itself without delay in every direc
tion where help Is possible. There
are, of course, as I have said, ninnv
I other Important economic questions
io ne dealt with, as speedily as pos
sible, bin the time allotted to in
makes it impossible to touch upon
them nil.
There is. however, one measure
which cannot fie passed over, a single
great law which has been enacted
and which in any period would be
sufficient to distinguish a congress
as one of high accomplishment. This
is the railroad act. For six months
able committees In both houses, com-
niiees wnere no party line was
drawn, tolled day after day upon this
most Intricate of problems. There
was much si rious debate In both
senate and house and then the bill,
signed hy the president, became law.
No doubt time and experience will
" that Improvements In the act
can be made, but In the main it is
a remarkable piece of legislation and
m general principles is entirely
sound, nnd nothing could be more
unfair than to criticize the pret-ent
owners contending with the legacy
of mismanagement, waste and con
fusion bequeathed by the govern
ment wh. n it returned the roads only
thr.e mouths ago. The railroad Inw
possesses also an Importance whollv
distinct from ' Its provisions, which
have been framed with extreme care
This act declares a national policy

who run the railroad
government. uenvral government
ownership under our political system
would inevitably bring about the
niaotary of the government by those
who operate the machinery of trans
portation or of any other Industries
which come into government posses
sion. The right of the general pub
lic, for whom all Industries exist,
would disappear under this scheme
and uuthlug would be left to the
people except the duty of paying
taxes to support the roads. That la a
very perilous position for a represen
tative democracy. our government
must not be dominated by any one
man or any class or any selected
body of men who represent a part of
the people and not the whole Deonla
Moreover, In the United States, gov
ernment ownership wherever Applied
to an industry, whether 1t Involves
transportation or telegraphlo and
telephone communication or ship
building or manufacturing, la a very
Inefficient and wasteful aysteni, bad
ly managed and certain to be Intoler
ably burdensome to the taxpayers.
Ibis point it la not necessary to ar-
gue because the country through Ihe
demands of war turned the railroads
over to the government and we have
hud the painful privilege of observ
ing the performance which followed,
The government management which
ensued was Inefficient, the railroads
were wretchedly conducted and
money was Bpent and wasted with a
prodigality which nothing can de
fend. During the time in which the
government undertook to manage
the railroads they sustained, despite
a generous Increase In freight rates,
a loss of over a million dollars a day
and the total payments out of the
treasury to support the railroads
have reached the enormous sum of
one and three quarter billions of
dollars. There was universal dis
satisfaction with the government
management and it was a Just dis
satisfaction. The experiment faired
and should not be renewed.
, From domestic affairs, which I
huve only touched upon briefly, lot
us turn lo foreign questions, to our
relations with the world of other
nations. Look first at one of the
most pressing Importance Just be
yond our own borders. Look at
Mexico. For seven years the United
States has been pursuing under the
direction of the president a policy
of "watchful waiting." The presi
dent saw fit to Intervene In Mexico.
As a matter of fact he made war
upon Mexico, for in the taking of
Vera Crux we lost some 120 men In
killed and wounded and several
hundred unregarded, Incidental
Mexicans were also either wounded
or killed In the conflict. We went
there to exact an apology for the
treatment of some of our sailors al
Tampico. The apology has never
been given but flenernl Huerta war
driven from power, which was the
president s real purpose, and Mexico
then fell Into a state of anarchy
which, growing constantly worse, has
continued to this day. The president
saw lit to recognize Carranza, who
was chosen by a military Junta, as
politlcnl chief. He thus furnished an
essential support to the Carranza
government and what has been our
reward? Over 600 Americans have
been murdered In Mexico, some un
r circumstances of great brutality,
For these murders no reparation has
been made. Decorated by endless
futile and useless notes they have
gone on unchecked. To have been
in American citizen in Mexico added
to a man's danger. The words "I am
American citizen." instead of
being a protection, as they ought to
be, in every corner of the world
were an aosoitite peril lo anyone
who was entitled to that high dls
Unction. Mexico teemed with Get-
inun plots. The Mexican government
largely the offspring of Mr. Wilson's
recognition, did not support us In the
war hut gave aid so far as It was pos
sible to the cause of our enemies
let we still continued to support
t arranza. Ills government sent
agents Into this country to foment
Industrial trouble and lo bring
strikes. They allied themselves Willi
the bolshevlst and anarchistic ele
ments. Nothing van done by the
I nlled States. Carranza insulted
ine American government in every
possible way and still nothing was
done. We fell so low that when an
American was seized by one of Ihe
many nunrts or brigands and held for
ransom all that the government of
the United States would do was to
offer lo be Ihe channel for conveying
the ransom of their citizens to the
highwaymen who had seized them
The mere statement seems Incredible
but it is In oxac: accordance with the
facts In some cases. Still nothing
was done and we watched and wail
ed. Naturally we lost our influence
In Mexico nnd what was far more
Important we lost the respect of the
Mexican people by the manner In
which we submitted to every sort of
Insult and outrage.
Need of a Firm Iliuid.
We have watched and waited long
enough. It Is time that this condi
tion, disgraceful to us and ruinous
to Mexico, should cease. We need
a flrui hand at the helm. We need
a man who will think not only of the
rights of the United States but of
the welfare of Mexico. The Mexican
people would not resent the influ
ence or Intervention of the United
R.ates If it would only help to bring
them peace under a president of
their own choosing. The great mass
of the Mexican people wish to work
nnd earn money. They long to be
able to sleep in peace and not b"
subject lo pillage and oulragp. Thou
