C. i i " FLETCHER FEARS DEMOCRACY LOSS G. 0. P. Chairman Welcomes | Chance to Protect Constitution. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 17.—Label- ing the Constitution “America’s Ark of the Covenant,” Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican National | Committee predicted that its destruc- | tion would erase popular government, in a speech prepared for the National Conference of Republican Women to- | day. “The Constitution is the sole and exclusive property of the American | people,” he said. “Heretofore it has| been the Bible of both great parties, | but the course of political events and | the strange policies of the present ad- ministration have given the Repub- lican party the greatest opportunity for national service it has had since its foundation. Opportunity Welcomed. “This is an opportunity which the party welcomes. But one to which it | has no desire to claim a monopoly. It | welcomes to the contest all those who | believe that individual freedom and | security are not gifts of government, | but the natural and inherent rights of the people. “Our Constitution is a very concrete | statement of fundamental law which affects the lives of all American citi- | zens, whether they are aware of it or | Pilgrims to Librafy Constitution Shrine QURBERRYS OR the new season now at hand, we present with pardonable pride the clothes that discriminating Wash- ingtonians will wear with pleasure.

She termed President Roosevelt “an autocrat, however smiling.” Mrs. Jacob Baur of Chicago, Re- publican national committeewoman from Illinois, called for a “liberalized Republican party” to aid “the great masses of the American people,” or- ganized to attain success at the polls.
