The following platform of ten
planks was written by conestanta in
the Tribune's republican platform con
test. The ten issues were determined
by votes cast during- the contest.
Four additional plank? were chosen,
because the judges believed that the
issues they represented wer essential.
The order in which the planks irpear
is according to the vote.
Capital and labor We recognln m
Indisputable the right of ' labor te
organize and to bargain collectivelj
but not to strike when such actio
violates the law or menaces publu
welfare. To protect the nation as J
whole from Injury by controversiei
which 'concern ctirectly-only a small
minority, we pledge the enactment oi
legislation to increase the account
ability of both unions and employers
and to compel the arbitration of those
disputes which affect the production
and distribution of the necessaries of
life. W. R. Fishre, Princeton, N. J.
Safeguards for IT. S. Urged.
Foreign relations (First prize.)
We believe that the United States has
an international duty, but we do not
believe in internationalism. The re
publican party has favored and still
favors the immediate ratification ot
the treaty of peace, but with such
reservations as will safeguard our
traditions and interests. We are not
opposed to a league of nations "where
international law may be codified and
disputes arbitrated, but we are un
alterably opposed lo the league of na
tions in its present form. The inter
ests of the world and ourstVyes de
mand that we continue our .policy of
avoiding entangling alliances. Ray
mond C. Ellis, 177 Montague street,
Brooklyn.
Americanization It is. impossible
for us to expect the automatic as
similation of a large alien population.
"Americans can best be made by edu
cation. Accordingly, the republican
party advocates the extension of
Americanization work among our
aliens by the enactment of laws re
quiring, as a condition precedent to
admission to citizenship, attendance
upon a school, maintained at public
expense, where the alien would re
ceive instruction in the English lan
guage and citizenship for the period
between his declaration of intention
and his examination for admission to
citizenship. A. A. Gross, 44 Neal
street, Portland, Or.
Universal Training Favored.
National defense The republican
party, believing that the rights and
privileges of citizenship carry with
them duties and obligations, favors a
system of universal military training
modeled upon the Swiss system.
Mabel F. Yeomans, Cornell university.
Cost of living The cost of living is
rapidly threatening the ' national
safety, and is one of the chief .causes
of the growing spirit of unrest. Wo
favor a thorough investigation of the
causes of high prices and pledge our
party to do its utmost to reduce them.
We appeal to capital and labor to
work together in harmony for in
creased production. This is without
doubt the first step that should be
taken to lower the cost of living
Ruth L.
Benjamin, 46 West Eighty-
third street.
New York city.
Power Usurpation Rapped.
The constitution This republic is
a government of checks and balances
and of distributed powers, and it can
not truly function without a faithful
observance of this principle. We con
demn the usurpation of power exer
cised by the executive during the Wil
son regime and pledge ourselves to
restore to the different branches of
government their true canstitutional
power. Richard Marlowe, Elmira,
New York.
Bolshevism. (Second prize.) The
republican party realizes that the
country should not be stampeled by
passion or prejudice into any too pre
cipitate action against radical forces.
The right of free speech and assembly
should be jealously guarded. In pros
ecuting radical agitators, the consti
tutional distinction between parties
advocating revolutionary change with
the use of force and those advocating
evolutionary change by constitutional
methods should be recognized. Ern
est M. Spaulding, 28 Richardson Hall,
Dartmouth.
Kdncatlon Secretary Wanted.
Education The republican party
favors the establishment of a national
department of education, with a sec
retary of education, who shall "have a
place in the president's cabinetlr-Cy-rus
G. Milne, 3936 Fulton street,
Woodhaven, Long Island.
Conservation We advocate co-operation
between national and state gov
ernments to safeguard the supply or
natural wealth for future generations
and to guarantee economy in its use
for present needs. Specifically, we
favor more extensive irrigation and
reclamation, instruction in the rota
tion of crops and in efficient agricul
tural methods, regulations to insure
less waste in the extraction of min
erals, more adequate prevention of
forest fires, utilization of water
po'fer for fuel, and improvement of
waterways to render them navigable.
The federal ggvernment should also
exercise greater care in the disposi
tion of lands, so that only legitimate
sottlers may be accommodated. J. W.
Friedman, 26 New York avenue',
Brooklyn, New York.
Taxation The republican party ad
vocates the repeal of all war taxes
that kiH initiative, as well as the
spreading of our war debt over a long
term of years, and we pledge the
party to the development and execu
tion of a plan for the reduction of
taxation. . We further advocate such
a reduction in the cost of administra
tion as will make possible the reduc
tion of taxation which we promise.
C. A. Lemmers, budget and efficiency

Tariff We urge the return to the
policy of a protective tariff. W be-
For Your Choicest Blouses
or Heaviest Blankets
You know with what care you plunge your choice blouses. It
1s juBt this same lifting and dropping: with the added feature of
pumping the hot. soapy water and air through the fabrics- that
makes the "Daylight" so popular with folks who have, many nice
things to be laundered. y- .
Then. too. there's the other side of It. .Because the machine
does not tire like one's arm it can wash the heaviest blankets.
The big three-in-one. Triple Disc Cones keep steadily at it The
continued passage of the air through the -blankets gives them
that fluffy, new feeling which can .only be had when they are
washed in this way.

lieve that had the principles of the
republican party been carried out in
the last ten years, this country would
not today be dependent upon Europe,
for drugs, dyes and numerous other
necessaries Which have aggravated
the high cost of living.-" Dr. Ethel
Hurd, Minneapolis, Minn.
Definite Mexico' Policy Urged.
Mexican Question To secure from
infringement the rights of Americans
in Mexico and to render our southern
border safe from attack are among
the first duties of the government. To
this end we believe a definite policy
uniformly asserted far more effectual
than neglect alternated With unsup
ported threats. If armed interven
tion seems the only methdd certain to
maintain American rights, then inter
vention should be thorough and com
plete. A. T. Otis, White Plains, N. Y.
Budget Expenditures of the gov
ernment should be determined upon
and made in accordance with a regu
lated system, and not haphazard, as
they have been heretofore. We, there
fore, pledge ourselves to establish a
budget syste mof expenditures, so that
the , finances of the government may
be 'administered in accordance with
recognized business, principles. H. G.
Chase, 835 Park Row building. New

Merchant marine We favor an
American merchant marine, privately
owned, and such governmental assist
ance as will enable it to compete with
the merchant marine of other nations,
so that American goods can be car
ried in American bottoms, under the
American flag. William E. Ecker,
