CHAIRMAN HAYS VISITS Continued From First Pare.) problems of reconstruction and sail the chartless seas that come after tha war. All thia for a purpose far greater than party success all that no harm shall come to the Republic "The loyalty of the Republican party has always been and always will be measured only by the possibilities. The Republican party- ahall strive with every means within Its power to win the war and to win the war now. The Republican party heralded It. own birth by savins; the life of the Nation. and from that hour to this moment It has been the party of patriotism, and In thia supreme crisis its patriotic, loyal membership Is giving: to the last of Ita -blood and Ita treasure as pa triotic Americans and will continue to strive, risht. rive and die until vic torious American arms have forever ended the Intolerable arrogance of that scientifically trained brutality; until we have a conclusive peace by victory, and not by compromised bargainlngr. and the world has been made safe for s heme for our children's children. The governing of this country Is tha fruition of political activity. The vast Importance of thia governing measures the like Importance of the professions and performances of political parties. If we wculd preserve nor institutions, let us see to the agencies which con trol them: and let ua remember that we da not play politics for party pelf, but practice patriotic principles tor progress and permanent prosperity. Palltlral Fartlea Ie-f laed. "Political partlea are not Instruments for Individuals to use for their personal aggrandisement. Political partlea are the means by which thinking men and women promulgate and practice prin ciples for the government of their own country, for the control cf the Influences surrounding the place they call home. Any man who thinks otherwise Is not a ware of the high privileges of bis citizenship- Any man who expects or wants otherwise la not In tun. with the forces which control at present, and tha political party that will com mand tha confidence that brings sup port la tha party that understands this. Its purpose, and remembers It. Tha very larg majority this country believe In tha principles of tha Republican party. Men live and die, but principles endure. The great prin ciples of the Republican party since the days of the emancipation proc lamation have been right. They are right now. The Republican party does not play principles to win. It has ad vocated principles because they are right, and because Republicans believe In them, and we will not prostitute these principles lor perfunctory pref erment. "The great advocates of these prin ciples have not been wrong these many years. They are aa true as when their first practice built up tha country. But we must look forward, not backward. The Republican party Is the party of the future, else there la no use for the party. The needa of yesterday, my friends, are not at all the needs of to day; and the Republican party shall con tinue to be the one Instrument In this country to apply to new conditions and changing conditions the wisdom of experience and the efficacy of honest. seaious service. One Passible Rale Laid Doers. "I assert that there Is but one possl ble rule for political organization, and that la that the rights of the Individ uals within the party to participate in the management of the party's af faire shall be and remain equally sacred and sacredly equal. There Is no zone of twilight in the actions of a polit ical party, nor In the conduct of its organisation. Right Is right, and wrong ia wrong, and no apology, ex cuse or subterfuge Is pertinent. "There are no yesterdays In Jtepub Ucan politics. I don't care how a man voted In 191J. 1814. or 1916, nor his reasons for so doing. We are all one today: we have work to do for the good of the country and It takes ua all to do It. And I insist that all who ara engaged In this work are entitled to the same consideration, the man who has not always voted with us, and the man who has alwaya -voted with us because he may not have bad any reason for doing otherwise. "The purpose of a political organi zation is to elect candidates, and not select them. Above all things do I recognize that the province of the posi tion 1 occupy is to aid In laying plans which may result In the use of every honest meana to elect candidates and not in any sense control the nomina tions. "Everyone knows there will be polit ical activity. The Democratlo party has been busy with Its political activ ity for months, and I Insist that all this political activity must be open, acknowledged, and of a character and on a plane that needs no subterfuge. "All Republicans In the country, all those who ever voted the Republican ticket, all well-wlahera of good govern ment regardless of past party affilia tions, ara urged to aid. "Our policy is assimilation, ana not elimination. There is farmore In volved In the matter than party success." H. A. DEDMANJS CANDIDATE Announcement of State Representa tive Meets With Approval.

Patriotism was tha keynote of the address by Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and other exercises incident to the luncheon of the Progressive Business Men's Club at tha Multnomah Hotel yesterday noon. Mr. Hays paid a tribute to the patriotism of Oregon's citizen ship for their enthusiastic and instant response to tha country's every war time appeaL "There is in the country today for every one but one real business and that is to win' the war," was the open ing sentence of Mr. yays and it was greeted with thunderous applause by the 500 luncheon guests. "On the ques tion of the war, there is only one side; on that side, absolutely supporting the country's cause, shall stand every poli tical party and every member of every political party entitled to any consid eration whatsoever. "To win the war abroad, we must have absolute unity at home. First, we will have that political peace that shows to the world that in this country there Is one issue and one purpose to which all others are subordinated, and that is to win the war. There always will be politics, but politics this year will not touch the war and will be on a plane and of a character that needs no subterfuge. More Volnateerlaa; IVeeded, "We must have such Industrial peace as will make certain that every atom of brain, every ounce of brawn, goes where needed most to help the common cause. And that is not a charge on labor only. We must have less profi teering and more volunteering in this country. The manufacturer who would take advantage of his country's emerg ency to profit unduly or force conces sions unduly from labor is Just as culpable as the laborer who would take advantage of hla employer'a emergency and his country's necessities to force unfair concessions. And we have among us the I. W. W these lawless highwaymen. They are traitors to their country and ahould be treated aa such. For the traitor there is one medicine only and it is taken standing against the walL Let them take It. The need of this country is not for less politics, but for more attention to politics by our citizens. To what party you belong is of less importance than seeking the truth and acting according ly. I have no use for the man who says he Is too busy or too Indifferent to take an Interest in politics. We can have good, government and good candi dates in office only when we take an interest In politics. Wis War. and Wla It Now" Plea. t-r "Men and women, make It your busi ness to win this war and win It now. Stand only for a peace gained by vic tory and not a peace by compromise bargaining. We must put an end for ever to the intolerable arrogance of the scientifically conceived brutality of the Huns. "Now wa com to the liberty loan. Every man and woman should buy at least one bond. le who does not buy these bonds to his purchasing capacity Is not worthy the name of American. He roust buy until it hurts and then keep on buying until it quits hurting." The luncheon was a most enthusi astic patriotic affair. Frank H. Hilton, president of the club under whose auspices the luncheon was given, was chairman and presented Captain Jacob Kanzler, an ex-president of the or ganization, who, in a stirring talk, in troduced Mr. Hays. "Keep the Home Fires Burning" was sung, the audience being led by Lulu Dahl Miller. Other music was furnished by the Scotch bag pipe band. Suits, Dresses.
