one. Such domination was never in
tended. Tranquility, stability, de
pendability—all are assured in party
sponsorship, and we mean to renew
the assurances which were rended in
the cataclysmal war.
It was not surprising that we went
far afield from safe and prescribed
paths amid the war anxieties. There
was the unfortunate tendency before;
there was the surrender of congress
to the growing assumption of the
executive before the world war im
perilled all the practices we had
learned, to believe in; and in the war
emergency every safeguard was
swept away. In the name of democ
racy we established autocracy. We
are not complaining at this extraordi
nary bestowal or assumption in war,
it seemed temporarily necessary; our
alarm is over the failure to restore
the constitutional methods when the
war emergency ended.
Our first committal is the restora
tion of representative power govern
ment, under the constitution, through
the agency of the Republican party. '
Our vision includes more than a chief
executive, we believe in a cabinet of
highest capacity, equal to the respon
sibilities which our system contem
plates, in whose councils the vice
president, second official of the re
public, shall be asked to participate.
The same vision includes a cordial
understanding and co-ordinated ac
tivities with a house of congress,
fresh from the people, voicing the
convictions which members bring
from direct contact with the elec
torate. and cordial co-operation along
with the restored functions of the
senate, fit to be the greatest delib
erative body of the world. Its mem
bers are the designated sentinels
on the towers of constitutional gov
ernment. The resumption of the sen
ate’s authority saved to this repub
lic its independent nationality, when
autocracy misinterpreted the dream
of a world experiment to be the
vision of a world ideal.
It is not difficult, Chairman Lodge,
to make ourselves clear on the ques
tion of international relationship.
We Republicans of the senate, con
scious of our solemn oaths and mind
ful of our constitutional obligations,
, when we saw the structure of a
■ .world super-government taking vis
ionary form, joined in a becoming
warning of our devotion to this re
r public. If the torch of constitu
tionalism had not been dimmed, the
'delayed peace of the world and the
tragedv of disappointment and Eu
rope's misunderstanding of America
Easily might have been avoided. The
of the senate halted the
barter of independent American emi
nence and influence, which it was
to exchange for an obscure
t and unequal place in the merged
government of the world. Our party
'•means to hold the heritage of Amer
iean nationality unimpaired and un-

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
mean to sustain the rights of this
nation and our citizens alike, every
where under the shining sun. Yet
there is the concord of amity and
sympathy and fraternity in every
resolution. There is a genuine as
piration in every American breast for
a tranquil friendship with all the
world.
More, we believe the unspeakable
sorrows, the immeasurable sacri
fices, the awakened convictions and
the aspiring of human
kind must commit the nations or
the earth to a new and better rela
tionship. It need not be discussed
now what motives plunged the world
into war, it need not be inquired
whether we asked the sons of this
republic to defend our national
rights, as I believe we did, or to
purge the old world of the accumu
lated ills of rivalry and greed, the
sacrifices will be in vain if we cannot
acclaim a new order, with added se
curity to civilization and peace main
tained.
One may readily sense the con
science of our America. I am sure
I understand the purpose of the domi
nant group of the senate. We were
not seeking to defeat a world aspira
tion, we were resolved to safeguard
America. We were resolved then,
even as we are today, and will be
tomorrow, to preserve this free and
independent republic. Let those now
responsible, or seeking responsibili
ty, propose the surrender, whether
with interpretations, apologies or re
luctant reservations—from which our
rights are to be omitted—we welcome
the referendum to the American peo
ple on the preservation of America,
and the Republican party pledges its
defense of the preserved inheritance
of national freedom.
In the call of the conscience of
America is peace, peace that Rioses
the gaping wound of world war, and
silences the impassioned voices of
international envy and distrust.
Heeding this call and knowing as I
do the disposition of the congress,
I promise you formal and effective
peace so quickly as a Republican
congress can pass its declaration for
a Republican executive to sign. Then
we may turn to our readjustment at
home and proceted deliberately and
•■eflectively to that hoped-for world
relationship which shall satisfy botn
conscience and aspirations and still
hold us free from menacing involve
ment.
l can hear in the ca 1 of con
science an insistent voice for the
largely reduced armaments through
out the world, with attending reduc
tion of burdens upon peace-loving
humanity. We wish to give of Amer
ican influence and example; we
must give of American leadership to
that invaluable accomplishment.
I can speak unreservedly of the
American aspiration and the Repub
lican committal for an association of
nations, co-operating in sublime ac
cord, to attain and preserve peace
through justice rather than force,
determined to add to ' security
through international law, so clari
fied that no misconstruction can be
possible without affronting world
honor.
Must Stand. For Bight
This republic can never be un
mindful of its power, and must
never forget the force of its example.
Possessor of might that admits no
fear, America must stand foremost
for the right. If the mistaken voice
of America, spoken in unheeding
haste, led Europe, in the hour of
deepest anxiety, into a military alli
ance which menaces peace and
threatens all freedom, irfctead of
adding to their security, then we
must speak the truth for America
and express our hope for the
fraternized conscience of nations.
It will avail nothing to discuss, in
detail the league covenant, which
was conceived for world super-gov
ernment, negotiated in misunder
standing, and intolerantly urged and
demanded by its administration
sponsors, who resisted every effort
co safeguard America, and who
finally rejected when such safe
guards were inserted. If the supreme
blunder has left European relation
ships inextricably interwoven in the
league compact, our sympathy for
Europe only magnifies our own good
fortune in resisting involvement. It |
is better to be the free and disin-1
terested agent of international jus- i
tice and advancing civilization, with
the covenant of conscience, than be
shackled by a writ*xt» compact which
surrenders our freedom of action
and gives to a military allince the
right to proclaim America’s duty
to the world. Nq surrender of rights
to a world council or its military alli
ance, no assumed mandatory, how
ever appealing, ever shall summon
the sons of this republic to war.
Their supreme sacrifice shall only be
asked for America and its call of
honor. There is a sanctity in that
right we w’ill not delegate.
When the compact was being writ
ten, I do nut know -whether Europe
asked or ambition insistently be
stowed. It was so good to rejoice in
the world’s confidence in our unsel
fishness that I cn believe our evi
dent disinterestedness inspired Eu
enlisting American power and re
sources. Ours is an outstanding, in
fluential example to the world,
whether we cloak it in spoken mod
esty or magnify it in exaltation. We
want to help; we mean to help; but
we hold to our own interpretation of
the American conscience as the very
soul of our nationality.
Disposed as we are, the way is
very simple. Let the failure attend
ing assumption, obstinacy, imprac
ticability and delay be recognized,
and let us find the big, practical, un
selfish way to do our part, neither
covetious because of ambition nor
hesitant through fear, but ready to
serve ourselves, humanity and God.
With a senate advising as the con
stitution contemplates, I would hope
fully to approach the nations of Eu
rope and of the earth, proposing that
understanding which makes us a will
ing participant in the consecration of
nations to a new relationship, to
commit the moral forces of the
world, America included, to peace
and international justice, still leav
ing America free, independent and
self-reliant, but offering friendship
to all the world.
Americans First
If men call for more specific de
tails, I remind them that moral com
mittals are broad and all inclusive,
and -we are contemplating peoples in
the concord of humanity’s advance
ment. From our own viewpoint the
program is specifically American,
and -we mean to be Americans first, to
all the world.
Appraising’ preserved nationality
as the first essential to the continued
progress of the republic, there is
linked with it the supreme necessity
of the restoration —let us say the
re-revealment —of the constitution,
and our reconstruction as an indus
trial nation. Here is the transcend
ing task. It concerns our common
weal at home and will decide our
future eminence in the world. More
than these, this republic, under con
stitutional liberties, has given to
mankind the most fortunate condi
tions for human activity and attain
ment the world has ever noted, and
we are today the world’s reserve
force in the great contest for liberty
through security, and maintained
equality of opportunity and its
righteous rewards.
It is folly to close our eyes to
oustandlng facts. Humanity is
restive, much of the world is in
revolution, the agents of discord and
destruction have wrought their
tragedy tn pathetic Russia, have
lighted their torches among other
peoples, and hope to see America as
a part of the great Red conflagra
tion. Ours is the temple of liberty
under the law, and it is ours to call
the Sons of Opportunity to its de
fense. America must not only save
herself, but ours must be the appeal
ing voice to sober the world.
More than all else the present-day
world needs understanding. There
can be no peace save through com
posed differences, and the submission
of the individual to the will and weal
of the many. Any other plan means
anarchy and its rule of force.
It must be understood that toil
alone makes for accomplishment and
advancement, and righteous posses
sion is the reward of toil, and its
incentive. There is no progress ex
cept in the stimulus of competition.
When competition—natural, fair, im
pelling competition—is suppressed,
whether by law, compact or con
spiracy, we halt the march of prog
ress, silence the voice of aspiration
and paralyze the will for achieve
ment. These are but common-sense
truths of human development.
More Production
The chief trouble today is that
the world war wrought the destruc
tion of healthful competition, left
our storehouses empty, and there Is
a minimum production when our
need is maximum. Maximums, not
minimums, is the call of America. It
isn’t a new story, because war never
fails to leave depleted storehouses
and always impairs the efficiency of
production. War also establishes its
higher standards for wages, and they
abide. I wish the higher wage to
abide, on one explicit condition
that the wage-earner will give full
return for the wage received. It is
the best assurance we can have for
a reduced cost of living. Mark you,
I am ready to acclaim the highest
standard of pay, but I would be blind
to the responsibilities that mark this
fateful hour if I did not caution the
wage-earners of America that mount
ing wages and decreased production
can lead only to industrial and eco
nomic ruin.
I want, somehow, to appeal to the
sons and daughters of the republic,
to every producer, to join hand and
brain in production, more produc
tion, honest production, patriotic
production, because patriotic produc
tion is no less a defense of our best
civilization than that of armed force.
Profiteering is a crime of commis
sion, under-production is a crime of
omission. We must work our most
and best, else the destructive reac
tion will come. We must - stabilize
and strive for normalcy, else the in
evitable reaction will bring its train
of sufferings, disappointments and
reversals. We want to forestall such
reaction, we want to hold all ad
vanced ground, and fortify it with
general good-fortune.
Let us return for a moment to the
necessity for understanding, partic
ularly that understanding which
concerns ourselves at home. I de
cline to recognize any conflict of in
terest among the participants in in
dustry. The destruction of one is the
ruin of the other, the suspicion or
rebellion of one unavoidably involves
the other. In conflict is disaster, in
understanding there is triumph.
There is no Issue relating to the
foundation on which industry is
builded, because industry is bigger
than any element in its modern
making. But the insistent call is
for labor, management and capital to
reach understanding.
The human element comes first,
and I want the employers in indus
try to understand the aspirqiions,
the convictions, the yearnings <#f the
millions of American wage-earners,
and I want the wage-earners to un
derstand the problems, the anxieties,
the obligations of management and
capital, and all of them must under
stand their realtionship to the peo
ple and their obligation to the re
public. Out of this understanding will
come the unanimous committal to
economic e justice, and in economic
justice lies that social justice which
is the highest essential to human
happiness.
I am speaking as one who has
counted the contents of the pay en
velope from the viewpoint of the
earner as well as the employer. No
one pretents to deny the inequalities
which are manifest in modern in
dustrial life. They are less, in fact,
than they were before the organiza
tion and grouping on either side re
vealed the inequalities, and con
science has wrought more justice
than stautes have compelled, but the
ferment of the world rivets our
thoughts on the necessity of progres
sive solution, else our generation will
suffer the experiment which means
chaos for our day to re-establish
God’s plan for the great tomorrow.
Menace of Today
Speaking our sympathies, uttering
the conscience of all the people, mind
ful of our right to dwell amid the
good fortunes of rational, conscience
impelled advancement, we hold the
majesty of righteous government,
with liberty under the law, to be
our avoidance of chaos, and we call
upon every citizen of the republic
to hold fast to that which made us
what we are, and we will have order
ly government safeguard the onward
march to all we ought to be.
Hhe menacing tendency of the pres
ent day is .not chargeable wholly to
the unsettled and fevered conditions
caused bv >he war. The manifest
weakness in popular government lies
in the temptation to appeal to group
ed citizenship for political advan
tage. There is no greater peril. The
constitution contemplates no class
and recognizes no group. It broadiy
includes all the people, with specific
recognition for none, and the highest
consecration we can make today is a
committal of the Republican party
to that saving constitutionalism
which contemplates all America as
one people, and holds just government
free from influence on the one hand
and unmoved by intimidation on the
other.
It would be the blindness of folly
to ignore the activities in our own
country which are aimed to destroy
our economic system, and to commit
us to the colossal tragedy which has
both destroyed all freedom and made
Russia impotent. This movement is
not to be halted in throttled liberties.
We must not abridge the freedom
of speech, the freedom of press, or
the freedom of assembly, because
there is no promise in repression.
These liberties are as sacred as the
freedorq of religious belief, as in
violable as the rights of life and
the pursuit of happiness. We do
hold to the right to crush sedition,
to stifle a menacing contempt for
law, to stamp out a peril to the safety
of the republic or its people, when
emergency calls, because security
and the majesty of the law are the
first essentials of liberty. He who
threatens destruction of the gov
ernment by force of flaunts his con
tempt for lawful authority, ceases to
be a loyal citizen and forfeits his
rights to the freedom of the re
public.
Let it be said to all of America
that our plan of popular govern
ment contemplates such orderly
changes as the crystallized intelli
gence of the majority of our people
think best. There can be no
modification of this underlying rule,
but no majority shall abridge tne
rights of a minority. Men have a
right to question our system in
fullest freedom, but they must al
ways remember that the rights of
freedom impose •' the obligations
which maintain it. Our policy is
not of repression, but we make ap
peal today to American intelligence
and patriotism, when the republic
is menaced from within, just as we
trusted American patriotism from
without.
Wage-Earners Welfare
We call on all America for
'steadiness, so that we may proceed
deliberately to the readjustment
which concerns all the people. Our
party platform fairly expresses the
conscience of Republicans on indus
trial relations. No party is indif
ferent to the welfare of the wage
earner. To us his good fortune is
of deepest concern, and we seek to
make that good fortune permanent.
We do not oppose but approve col
lective bargaining, because that is
an outstanding right, but we are un
alterably insistent that its exercise
must not desaroy the equally sacred
right of the individual, in his
necessary pursuit of livelihood. Any
American has the right to quit
his employment, so has every
American the right to seek em
ployment. The group must not en
danger the Individual, and we must
discourage groups preying upon one
another, and none shall be allowed
to forget that government’s obliga
tions are alike to all the people.
I hope we may do more than
merely discourage, the losses and suf
ferings attending industrial conflict.
The strike against the government
is- properly denied, for government
service Involves none of the elements
of profit which relate to competitive
enterprise. There Is progress m the
establishment of official revealment
of Issues and conditions which lead
to conflict, so that unerring public
sentiment may speed the adjustment,
but I hope for that eoncord of pur
pose, not forced but inspired by the
common weal, which will give a reg
ulated public service the fullest
guaranty of continuity. I am think
ing of the railroads. In modern life
they are the very base of all our
activities and interchanges. For
public protection we have enacted
laws providing for a regulation of
the charge for service, a limitation
on the capital invested and a limita
tion on capital’s earnings.
There remains only competition of
service, on which to base our hopes
for an efficiency and expansion
which meet our modern requirements.
The railway workmen ought to be
the best paid and know the best
working conditions in the world.
Theirs is an exceptional responsibil
ity. They are not only essential to
the life and health and all productive
activities of the people, but they are
directly responsible for the safety
of traveling millions. The govern
ment which has assumed so much
authority for the public good might
well stamp railway employment with
the sanctity of public service and
guarantee to the railway employes
that justice which voices the Amer
ican conception of righteousness on
the one hand, and assure continuity
of service on the other.
Transportation Problem
The importance of the railway re
habilitation is so obvious that ref
rence seems uncalled for. We are
so confident that much of the pres
ent-day insufficiency and inefficiency
of transportation are due to the with
ering hand of government operation
that we emphasize anew our opposi
tion to government ownership, we
want to expedite the reparation, and
make sure the mistake is not re
peated.
It is little use to recite the story
of development, exploitation, govern
ment experiment and its neglect, gov
ernment operation and its .failures,
The inadequacy of trackage and ter
minal facilities, the insufficiency of
equipment and the inefficiency of op
eration —all bear the blighting stamp
of governmental incapacity during
federal operation. The work of re
habilitation under the restoration of
private ownership deserves our best
encouragement. Billions are needed
in new equipment, not alone to meet
the ’growing demand for service, but
to restore the extraordinary deprecia
tion due to the strained service of
war. With restricted earnings and
with speculative profits removed,
railway activities have come to the
realm of conservative and construc
tive service, and the government
which impaired must play its part
in restoration. Manifestly the re
turns must be so gauged that neces
sary capital may be enlisted, and we
must foster as well as restrain.
We have no more pressing prob
lem. A state of inadequate trans
portation facilities, mainly charge
able to the failure of governmental
experiment, is losing millions to
agriculture, it is hindering industry,
it is menacing the American people
with a fuel shortage little less than
a peril. It emphasizes the present
day problem and suggests that spirit
of encouragement and assistance
which commits all America to re
lieve such an emergency.
The one compensation amid attend
ing anxieties is our new and needed
realization of the vital part trans
portation plays in the complexities
of modern life. We are not to think
of rails alone, but highways from
farm to market, from railway to
farm, arteries of life-blood to pres
ent-day life, the quickened ways to
communication and exchange, the
answer of our people to the motor
age. We believe in generous federal
co-operation in construction, linked
with assurances of maintenance that
will put an end to criminal waste of
public funds on the one hand and
give a guaranty of upkept highways
on the other.
Water Transportation
Water transportation is insep
arably linked with adequacy of fa
cilities, and we favor American emi
nence on the seas, the practical de
velopment of inland waterways, the
upbuilding and co-ordination of all
to make them equal to and ready
for every call of developing and
widening American commerce. I like
that recommittal to thoughts of
America’s first which pledges the
Panama canal, an American creation,
to the free use of American shipping.
It will add to the American reawak
ening.
One can not speak of industry and
commerce, and the transportation on
which they are dependent without an
earnest thought of the abnormal cost
of living and the problems in its
wake. It is easy to inveigh, but that
avails nothing. And it is far too
serious to dismiss with flaming but
futile promise.
Eight years ago, in times of peace,
the Democratic party made it an is
sue, and when clothed with power
that party came near to its accom
plishment by destroying’ the people’s
capacity to buy. But that was a cure
worse than the ailment. It is easy
to understand the real causes, after
which the patient must help to ef
fect his own cure.
Gross expansion of currency and
credit have depreciated the dollar
just as expansion and inflation have
discredited the coins of the world.
We inflated in haste, we must deflate
in deliberation. We debased the dol
lar in reckless finance; we must re
store in honesty. Deflation on the
one hand and restoration of the 100-
cent dollar on the other ought to
have begun on the day after the ar
mistice, but plans were lacking or
courage failed. The unpreparedness
for peace was little less costly than
unpreparedness for war.
We can promi se no one remedy
which will cure an ill of such wide
proportions, but we do pledge that
earnest and consistent attack which
rlijj party platform covenants. We
will attempt intelligent and coura oe
oiis deflation, and strike at govern
ment borrowing which enlarges the
evil and we will attack high cost cf
government wiih every energy and
facility which attend Republican ca
pacity. We promise that relief which
will attend the halting of waste and
extravagance, and the renewal of the
practice of public economy, not alone
because it will relieve tax burdens
but because it will be an example to
stimulate thrift and economy in pri
vate life.
Thrift and Economy
I have already alluded to the ne
cessity for the fullness of produc
tion, and we need the fullness of
service which attends the exchange
of products. Let ds speak* the ir
refutable truth, high wages and re
duced cost of living are in utter con
tradiction unless we have the height
of efficiency for wages received.
In all sincerity we promise the
prevention of unreasonable profits,
we challenge profiteering with all the
moral force and the legal powers or
government and people, but it is
fair, aye, it is timely, to give re
minder that law is not the sole cor
rective of our economic ills.
Let us call to all the people for
thrift and economy, for denial and
sacrifice if need be, for a nation-wide
drive against extravagance and lux
ury, to a recommittal to simplicity
of living, to that prudent and nor
mal plan of life which is the health
of the republic. There hasn’t been
a recovery from the waste and ab
normaities of war since the story of
mankind was first written, except
through work and saving, through
industry and denial, while needless
spending and heedless extravagance
have marked every decay in the
history of nations. Given the assur
ance of that rugged simplicity of
American life which marked the first
century of amazing development, and
this generation may underwrite a
second century of surpassing accom
plishment.
The Republican party was founded
by farmers, with the sensitive con
science born of their freedom and
their simple lives. These founders
sprang from the- farms of the then
middle west. Our party has never
failed in its realization that agri
culture is essentially the foundation
of our very existence, and it has ever
been our policy, purpose and pei
formance to protect and promote
that essential industry.
New conditions, which attend
amazing growth and extraordinary
industrial development, call for a
new and forward-looking program.
The American farmer had a hundred
and twenty millions to feed in the
home market, and heard the cry of
the world for food and answered it,
though he faced an appalling task
amid handicaps never encountered
before.
Farmers interests
In the rise of price levels there
have come increased appraisals to
his acres without adding to their
values in fact, but which do add to
his taxes and expenses without en
hancing his returns. His helpers
have yielded to the lure of shop and
city, until, almost alone, he has met
and borne the burden of the only in
sistent attempts to force down prices.
It challenges both the wisdom and
the justice of artificial drives on
price's to recall that they were ef
fective almost solely against his
products in the hands of the pro
ducer and never effective against the
same products in passing to the con
sumer. Contemplating the defense
lessness of the individual farmer to
meet the organized buyers of his
products and the distributors of the
things the farmer buys, I hold that
farmers should not only be permitted
but encouraged to join in co-opera
tive association to reap the just
measure of reward merited by their
arduous toil. Let us facilitate co
operation to insure against the risks
attending agriculture, which the ur
ban world so little understands, and
a like co-operation to market their
products as directly as possible with
the consumer, in the interests of
all. Upon such association and co
operation should be laid only such
restrictions as will prevent arbitrary
control of our food supply and the
fixing of extortionate price upon it.
Our platform is an earnest pledge
of renewed concern for this most
essential and elemental industry, and
in both appreciation and interest we
pledge effective expression in law
and practice. We will hail that co
operation which again will make
profitable and desirable the owner
ship and operation of comparatively
small farms intensively cultivated,
and which will facilitate the caring
for the products of farm and orch
ard without the lamentable waste un
der present conditions.
America would look with anxiety
on the discouragement of farming
•activity either through the govern
ment’s neglect or its paralysis by
Socialistic practices. A Republican
administration will be committed to
renewed regard for agriculture, and
seek the participation of farmers in
curing the ills justly complained of
and aim to place the American farm
where it ought to be—highly ranked
in American activities and fully shar
ing the highest good fortunes of
American life.
Favors Merchant Marine
Becomingly associated with this
subject are the policies of irrigation
and reclamation, so essential to ag
ricultural expansion, and the con
tinued development of the great and
vzonderful west. It is our purpose
to continue and enlarge federal aid,
not in sectional partiality, but for
the good of all America. We hold
to that harmony of relationship be
tween conservation and development,
which fittingly appraises our natural
resources and makes them available
to developing America of today, and
still holds to the conserving thought
for the America of the morrow.
The federal government’s relation
to reclamation and development is
too important to-admit of ample dis
cussion today. Alaska, alone, is rien
in resources beyond all imagination,
and needs only closer linking,
through the lines of transportation,
and a governmental policy that both
safeguards and encourages develop
ment, to speed it to a foremost posi
tion as a commonwealth, rugged in
citizenship and rich ih materialized
resources.
These things I can only mention.
Within becoming limits one can not
say more. Indeed, for the present
many questions of vast importance
must be hastily passed, reserving a
fuller discussion to suitable occasion
as the campaign advances.
I believe the budget system will
effect a necessary, helpful reforma
tion. and reveal business methods to
government business.
I believe federal departments
should be made more business-like
and send back to productive effort
thousands of federal employes, who
are either duplicating work or not
essential at all.
I oelieve in the protective tariff
policy and know we will be calling
for its saving Americanism again.
I believe in a great merchant »a
rme —I would have this republic ihe
leading maritime nation of the world.
I believe in a navy ample to pro
tect it, and able to assure us depend
able defense.
I believe in a small army, but the
best in the world, with a mindful
ness for preparedness which will
avoid the unutterable cost of our
previous neglect.
I believe in our eminence in trade
abroad, which the government should
aid in expanding, both in revealing
markets and speeding cargoes.
I believe in establishing standards
for immigration, which are concern
ed with the futurq citizenship of the
republic, not with mere manpower in
industry'.
Law Enforcement
I believe that every man who dons
the garb of American citizenship and
walks in the light of American op
portunity, must become American in
heart and soul.
t belieev in holding fast to every
forward step in unshackling child
labor and elevating conditions of
woman’s employment.
I believe the federal government
should stamp out lynching and re
move that stain from the fair name
of America.
I believe the federal government
should give its effective aid in solv
ing the problem of ample and becom
ing housing of its citizenship.
I believe this government should
make its Liberty and Victory bonds
worth all that its patriotic citizens
paid in purchasing them.
I believe the tax burdens imposed
for the war emergency must be re
vised to the needs of peace, and in
the interest of equity in distribution
of the burden.
I believe the negro citizens of
America should be guaranteed the
enjoyment of all their rights, that
they* have earned the full measure
of citizenship bestowed, that their
sacrifices in blood «m the battle
fields ;of the republic- have entitled
them to all of freedom and oppor
tunity, all of sympathy and aid that
the American spirit of fairness and
justice demands.
I believe there is an easy and
open path to righteous relation
ship with Mexico. It has seemed to
in* that our undeveloped, uncertain
and infirm policy has made us a
culpable party to the governmental
misfortunes in that land. Our rela
tions ought to be both friendly and
sympathetic; we would like to ac
claim a stable government there, and
offer a neighborly hand in pointing
the way to greater progress! It will
be simple to have a plain and neigh
borly understanding, merely an
understanding about respecting our
borders, about protecting the lives
and possessions of American citizens
lawfully within the Mexican domin
ions. There must be that under
standing, else there can be no rec
ognition, and then the understand
ing must be faithfully kept.
Many of these declarations deserve
a fuller expression, with some sug
gestions of plans to emphasize the
faith. Such expression will follow,
in due time, I promise you.
I believe in law enforcement. If
elected I mean to be a constitutional
president, and it is impossible to
ignore the constitution, unthinkable
to evade the law, when our every
committal is to orderly government.
People ever will differ about the
wisdom of the enactment of a law —
there is divided opinion respecting
the eighteenth amendment and the
laws enacted to make it operative—
but there can be no difference, of
opinion about honest law enforce
ment.
Veteraoi of War
Neither government nor party can
afford to cheat the American people.
The laws of congress must harmon
ize with the constitution, else they
soon are adjudged to be void; con
gress enacts the laws, and the execu
tive branch of government is charg
ed with enforcement. We can not
nullify because of divided opinion,
we cannot jeopardize orderly govern
ment with contempt for law enforce
ment. Modification or repeal is the
right of a free people, whenever the
deliberate and intelligent public sen
timent commands, but perversion
and evasion mark the paths to tne
failure of government itself.
Though not in any partisan sense,
I must speak of the services of the
men and women who rallied to the
colors of the republic in world war.
America realizes and appreciates the
services rendered, and sacrifices
made and the sufferings endured.
There shall be no distinction be
tween those who knew the perils and
glories of the battle front or the
dangers of the sea, and those who
were compelled to serve behind the
lines, or those who constituted the
great reserve of a grand army which
awaited the call in camps at home.
AH were brave, all were sacrific
ing, all were sharers of those ideals
which sent our boys thrice-armed to
war. Worthy sons and daughters,
these, fit successors to those who
christened our banners in the im
mortal beginning, worthy sons of
those who saved the union and
nationality when civil war wiped the
ambiguity from the constitution,
ready sons of those who drew the
sword for humanity’s sake the first
time in the world, in 1898. ,
The four million defenders on
land and sea were worthy of the
best traditions of a people never
war-like in peace and never pacifist
in war. They commanded our
pride, they have our gratitude,
which must have genuine expres
sion. It is not only a duty, it is a
privilege to see that the sacrifices
made shall be requited, and that
those still suffering from casualties
and disabilities shall be abundantly
aided and restored to the highest
capabilities of citizenship and its
enjoyment.
Country’s Ideals
The womanhood of America, always
its glory, its inspiration and the po
tent, uplifting force in its social and
spiritual development, is about to be
enfranchised. In so far as congress
can go, the fact is already accom
plished. By party edict, by recorded
vote, by personal conviction I am
committed to this measure of justice.
Annual Berkshire Sale
At Pyron Farm Attracts
Buyers From AUOv er U. S.
SY RALPH SMITH
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal.)
CARTERSVILLE, Ga„ July 22.
The retrousse family of Meadowview
farm is on the block today, following
a day of feasting and festivity yes
terday in which the members of the
aforesaid family were the cynosure
of hundreds of envious and admiring
eyes. The retrousse family numbers
two score or more' of the fattest,
slickest and finest snub-nosed Berk
shire hogs ever bred in the South.
They represent the contribution of
Ruohs Pyron, the famous breeder, to
Georgia’s development of the live
stock industry.
The sale, which is an annual event,
has attracted to Meadowview breed
ers and fanciers from all> sections of
the United States, and it is the con
fident belief of these experts that
Mr. Pyrons’ offerings will command
record prices. The sale will be con
ducted by Col. D. L. Perry, of Co
lumbus, Ohio, a prominent auction
eer, whose pig lingo breathes the
philosophy of horse sense.
Managing the sale is L. E. Frost,
of Chicago, editor of the Berkshire
World, the official organ of the
Berkshire industry. Mr. Frost recog
nizes in Meadowview farm and the
breeding of Ruohs Pyron elements
that have done much to elevate and
popularize the hog-raising industry
in the Southern states.
As has been the custom hereto
fore, the day preceding the auction
at Meadowbrook was given over to
the entertainment by Mr. Pyron and
J. W. Vaughan, the Cartersville bank
er, of the Pig club of Bartow county
—an organization that has grown
from nothing to a membership of
several hundred boys and girls, who
have profited financially by the
breeding of pedigreed Berkshire hogs.
Compete for Frizes
Wednesday was no exception to
the occasions that heretofore have
ushered in the auction sale at Mead
owview. There were hundreds of
boys and girls here from all sec
tions of Bartow county. Many had
brought with them the best Berk
shires they had bred during the
year, and these were entered in com
petition for prizes offered by Banker
Vaughan and other public-spirited
citizens of the county who are in
terested in the development of the
pig industry.
The club members also heard many
good speeches on breeding from re
cognized authorities, and all entered
a judging contest, in which many
fine Berkshires were shown. Each
boy and girl was afforded an oppor
tunity and encouraged to analyze
and criticize the good and bad points
of the pigs that were shown. The
knowledge displayed by the club
members concerning the comendable
points of the various Berkshires was
a revelation to many of the grown
ups, and old heads at the hog indus
try remarked that the youth of Bar
tow county is ahead of its age and
generation in the art of pig breeding.
As Editor Frost, of the Berkshire
World, remarked, ‘‘it is evident that
the interst and activity of Banker
Vaughan and Breeder Pyron in the
youth of Bartow county, supplement
ed by the work of County Agent Cox.
is working wonders. It has not been
a great while since the boys and
Republicans Ask
Tennessee Members
To Vote for Suffrage
COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 22.—Re
publican members of the Tennessee
legislature were urged to vote for
ratification of the federal woman
suffrage amendment under a - resolu
tion adopted unanimously late today
by the executive committee of the
Republican national committee.
It is my earnest hope, my sincere
desire that the one needed state vote
be quickly recorded in the affirma
tion of the right of equal suffrage,
and that the vote of every citizen
shall be cast and counted in the
approaching election.
Let us not share the apprehensions
of many men and women as to the
danger of this momentous extension
of the franchise. Women have never
been without influence in our political
life. Enfranchisement will bring to
the polls the votes of citizens who
have been born upon our soil, or
who have sought in faith and as
surance the freedom and opportuni
ties of our land. It will bring the
women educated in our schools, train
ed in our customs and habits of
thought, and sharers of our problems.
It will bring the alert mind, the
awakened conscience, the sure in
tuition. the abhorrence of tyranny or
oppression, the wide and tender sym
pathy that distinguish the women of
America. Surely there can be no
danger there.
’ And to the great number of noble
women who have opposed in con
viction this tremendous change in the
ancient relation of the sexes as ap
plied to government, I venture to
plead that they will accept the full
responsibility of enlarged citizenship
and give to the best in the republic
their suffrage and support.
Much has been said of late about
world ideals, but I prefer to think
of the ideal for America. I like to
think there is something more than
the patriotism and practical wisdom
of the founding fathers. It is good
to believe that maybe destiny held
this new-world republic to be the
supreme example of representative de
mocracy and orderly liberty by which
humanity Is inspired tohigher achieve
ment. It is idle to think we have
attained perfection, but there is the
satisfying- knowledge that we hold
orderly processes for making our gov
ernment reflect the heart and mind
of the republic. Ours is not only
U fortunate people, but a very com
mon-sensical people, with vision h> T.
but their feet on the earth, with be
lief in themselves and faith in God.
Whether enemies threaten from with
out or menaces arise from within,
there is some indefinable voice say
ing, “Have confidence in the repub
lic! America will go on!”
Pledges Fidelity
Here is a temple of libertv no
storms may shake, here are the al
tars of freedom no passions shall de
stroy. It was American in concep
tion. American in its building, it
shall be American in the fulfilment.
Sectional once, we are all American
now, and we mean to be all Ameri
cans to all the world.
Mr. Chairman, Members of the
Committee, My Countrymen, All: I
would not b< my natural self if I
did not utter my consciousness of
my limited ability to meet your full
expectations, or to realize the aspira
tions within my own breast, but I
will gladly give all that is tn me,
all of heart, soul and mind and abid
ing love of country, to service in
our common cause. I can only pray
to the Omnipotent God that I may be
as worthy in service as I know my
self to be faithful in thought and
purpose. One can not give more.
Mindful of the vast responsibilities
I must be frankly humble, but I have
that confidence in the consideration
and support of all true Americans
which makes me wholly unafraid.
With an unalterable faith and in a
hopeful spirit, with a hymn of serv
ice in my heart, I pledge fidelity to
our country and to God, and accept
the nomination of the Republican
party for the presidency of the
United States. i

girls knew little and cared less about
the breeding of pure-blooded hogs
in this section, but today it is ap
parent that the youngsters not only
are interested, but have come to real
ize and appreciate the possib’lities of
pig breeding as a profitable indus
try.”
The visiting editor told th. young
people that in recent years he has
found in advantageous, as a buy
er, to visit Georgia two or ttvae
times a year to purchase pure bred
hogs. He assured them, that ped’-
greed Berkshires always command a
ready market and a fancy price, and
that’ any boy or girl in the county
could win a handsome return on his
or her labors by devoting spare time
to the raising of Berkshires.
W. H. Martin, of Atlanta, presi
dent of the Georgia Bankers’ asso
ciation, and Haynes McFadden, of
Atlanta, secretary of the associa
tion, attended the pig club meet as
guests of Banker Vaughan.
“I was aware that the live stock
industry in Georgia was in the as
cendancy,” said Mr. Martin, “but I
had no idea that it had shown such
a fine development as is apparent
here today. Unquestionably, Mr.
Vaughan and Mr. Pyron are public
benefactors in’ stimulating an inter
est among the youth of Bartow coun
ty in the breeding of Berkshires.
The people of the state are in the
dark as to the wonderful strides that
have been made and few appreciate
the financial possibilities.
“Meadowview farm is an eye
opener to me. I had not the remot
est idea that any sucn hogs as these
on exhibition here were or could be
raised in Georgia, but after seeing
them I am not surprised that breed
ers from all quarters of the United
States are here to participate in the
auction sale.”
A feature of the day equally as
delightful and quite as welcome as
the pig show was the basket picnic
that was served under the shade of
the spreading oaks at the spring
house. Mrs. Pyron presided at this
banquet, and the hundreds who
crowded about the table never en
joyed a more delightful meal of all
the good things that grow and are
raised on the farm.
The judging contest was conduct
ed by E. J. of Thornton, Ind.,
assisted by Carl Wallace, of the
State College of Agriculture; L. E.
Frost, of the Berkshire World; J.
E. Downing, of the American Berk
shire congress, and C. H. Cox, coun
