Our own com- ment will be found in today’s edi- torial columns.—Editor’s note. That's gospel truth. If any witness were needed to attest it| tbe Republican party of 1985- | 1948 would more than suffice. For 12 years the Republican ty has been a jard; the | kind of coward— a moral | cow In consequence it b2-| gins to take on the appearance | of something the cat dragged in.|svch a call to service as rings to- | 10:00—Tomorrow’s News. an!day in the ears of the Republican| 10:15—Drifting on a Cloud. It is hard to define as entity the Republican party or any other large group of people, since however closely banded together all cannot think alike in all re- spects. But, speaking broadly, the Republican party consists of men and women whe in firm conviction are opposed to the swift trend to-! ward the omnipotent state that is| sweeping over cvery section of the | earth, Whether it be defined! as communism, fascism, secialism, totalitarianism, statism, the new deal, the insurance state, these men and women regard it as a thing of definite menace, however cunningly disguised, and however ardently supported by good but misguided people. But the Republicati party has Jacked the courage to say what its rank -and file believe. Out of hunger for the ilesh pots it has lacked the patriotism, the - loy- alty, to stand up for the free republic of the founding fathers and to fight for it. Due to that lack or moral courage, of loyalty to the American creed, the United States, almost the sold remaining bulwark against the advancing man, withcut a champion to pro- claim and battle for its traditional, glorious creed. And it finds the once-so-firm foundations of its temple crumbling. The fact is known of all men. Here, too, in our own America, the state is taking control and ownership of the people. It is using the power to tax to destroy their independence and self-re- liance. Tt is converting free meh into vassals and dependents. It is doveuring the substance of self-| pperting people to render them self-supportng no longer, and to establish a condition of universal reliance upon the biased paternal- ism of a Great White Father—a | “father” corrupted and corrupting, | since great power dces corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. | And the Republican party has not dared resist the tide; it has goric along with it. ~Not out of | convicticn, but out of cowardice. | It has not dared to be a Daniel; to have a purpose and to make it | known. Its plea for votes has been | the shameful one: Give ' us the| offices, the power, and we'll give| you as much of whdt w2 believe | to be wrong as will the Bemocrats | themselves, i Americans do not' respond to| any such appeal. They, too, hate | a coward. They despise hypoc- | risy. They hunger for a leader- | ship of .good faith. They will ae- cept 4 brave and fighting leadef- ship tainted even with Pendergast- | ism and absolutism rather than a leadership that crawls—and trails its flag. What a wonderful thing it would be if the Republican national committee meeting here in Omaha, if other constituted Republican leaders, could realize how desper- ately these United States need an honest and brave Republican party . . . how true Repub- licans above all others hunger and thirst for it! A Republican party to raise high the flag of a loyal | oppesition! Opposition not alone to | a misguided and recreant Demo- | cratic party here at home, but op- position tenacious and resolute, brave and unyielding, to all the} | men free, to challenge that foul | heights of human devotion to im- |Saturday morning to Mr. and Mrs. How joyously, with what re- born hope, men and women of the ancient faith of this republic would rally around such a stan- dard! Proud of it they ‘would be in vietory. No less proud in defeat. Surely, surely, it shall not be recorded hy amazed hiStorians of a later day, that when the black flag of absolutism was raised back in the 20th century, when the fate of all mankind was involved, there was nowhere, in any land, not ev- en our won, an organized body of men and women who had the courage, the devotion, the Wis- dom, the loyalty to God who made intruder and to dedicate their lives, their fortunes, their sacred henor, to driving him back into the dark ages when he emerged. Never has there been sounded party. Never, for men and women of courage, of character, of con- viction, has there been afforded such an occasion for rising to the perishable ideals. The Republican party can keep on crawling ignominously along the dustry trail of an order it abhors’ but shrinks from challenging. Or it can rise cut of the dust of four merited defeats, stand erect and | unafraid, proudly to take up the battle for all that ‘free men prize. Courage or cowardice? Loyalty or recreancy? Conviction or time | serving? 3 It is as simple as thet, ladies and gentlemen of the Republican national committee. (Paid for by Margaret E.
