It made and maintained the advancement in self-government that gave this country-its proper place among the Nations. Its deeds have squared with its promises. The GREAT reforms that have swept away abuses have been the work of Republican legislation. The progressive laws on the statute books have been placed there through the efforts an piration of Republican workers. It has ever held the RIGHTS OF MAN TO BE SUPREME and the protection of the Tights of all Americans as its highest aim. It has PROTECTED LABOR. Every REAL advance of labor interests has been fostered by Rgpublican legislation. N e Glkes Its earliest success broke the ruling power of slavery; and when to regain that power, war was forced on the Nation, it was a Republican President and a Republican Administration that held the broken links and forged the chain anew and whole, It is the Party of Abraham Lincoln. It is the Party of William McKinley. It is the Party of Charles E. Hughes. It was a Republican Administration that made Cuba a republic, and Republican statesman who forced the enactment of law that guaranteed Cuban independence. Since its birth, it has PRODUCED EIGHTY PER CENT. OF THE STATESMAN LEADERS of the Nation. It is the National Party and holds, as Lincoln held, the States to be units of a whole. It was a Republican Secretary of State who first officially wrote, “The United States IS!” It is the party of Preparedness and holds to the advice of Washington: “In time of peace prepare for war.” It was Republican adherence to this precept that, in times of stress, kept the Monroe Doctrine inviolate. Under its rule, the United States won and held the world-respect and world-honor that many believe have been sacrificed during the past two and a half years. Held as a Great Power but so short a while ago, America today faces the indifference or scorn of many of the Nations that once gave it merited homage. Among the Powers, the First has, in the opinion of many, become the Last. Shall the last again become the First? There is a way—and only ONE way. i Restore to power the Republican Party which made every man in the Nation free; preserved the Nation, through four years of Civil War; upbuilt the Nation by constructive statesmanship; won recognition in the family of nations for American justice and American fearless- ness; developed government “of the people, by the people, for the people” to the degree that won the admiration of the World and turned the eyes of the toiling, almost hopeless millions in monarch-ridden lands to “the land of the free and the home of the brave” with its inspira- tion and promise to all mankind of ultimate freedom, prosperity and happiness. “Proper Protection Provides PERMANENT Prosperity” ‘:"Ti At this time by Electing Charles E.
