REPUBLIC IN HANDS
OP PUBLIC SERVANTS
We find it oar Aret duty and high
est privilege to endorse the ad minis
tratta o< Woodrow Wilson. Under
hla leadership aa President, more im
portant constructive legislation of
benefit to the greater body of oar peo
Pla has been enacted than in any dec
ade at oar history. Under him end the
Democratic Congress It has been dem
onstrated that our Republic is at
last ta tha hands of public servants
who exercise their powers In the inter
est of the whole people as opposed to
the interest of any dais whatsoever.
He has maintained the highest tredi
tloas of Ms great office and ths no
blest ideals of tha party under whose
banner be serves. And not only so;
Uiis Republic and the human race have
found m him in the supreme crisis of
world affairs a leader equal to every
“"Jffsocy and worthy of universal
confidence. With a wisdom, patience
and courage that hare added lustre to
his office, lichaa managed the many
complicated international situations
that hare arisen in such a way aa to
command universal admiration. And
aa he Labors today to preserve to hu
inanity the fruits at centuries of ehrl
Usatioa as embodied in international
law and at tbd same time to uphold
*f1, right dear to the haarti of
Americans, wo commend him to all
man ami sand to Mm the assurance of
oar unfaltering support.
Now that our Republic stands alone
aa the one remaining great nation of
the earth at peace while the condition*
abroad are so fraught with source of
alarm and unrest, we foel assured that
tha President who has amidst the eon
fusion of the times held the republic
in so safe and wise a course, can ho
trusted more confidently than any
other to guide our country in its
foreign relations and to direct ear
people in all the steps necessary to
prepare bar against attack from any
score*. We therefore, command to
oar people his program of prepared
ness.
.. »»• d»t» msciw a revision or the
Underwood-Simmons Act in the in
terest of the whole people, and tariff
dutita are no longer levied for the
benefit at a favored few. At the
same time we have given to the na
tion a system of revenue entirely ade
quate to Its necessities. We have
supplemented this tariff with an in
ceaao tax the effect of which is to re
move from the rank and file of our
people the heavier burden upon those
who arc more able to hear it and who,
in common jutice ought to bear it.
CURRENCY SYSTEM
PREVENTER OP PANICS
In the Federal Reserve Banking Act
our party has given to the country a
currency system that commends uni
versal commendation. It has made
money monopolies impossible and pro
vided an elasticity of the currency
that assures to the farmers and oth
er producers a supply of money that
automatically prevents the depression
of crop. It haa removed the control
of th# money ovtr tho country from
Wall 8 treat. in New York, to the
Treasury of the United States st
Washington, and haa thereby made
financial stringencies and panics a
thing of the past. Under the supreme
test of world war this act has served
net only to save our people from dis
aster but to vouchsafe to them an au
paralIdled prosperity.
