REPUBLICAN PARTY
THE SAFE-GUARD
Of Christian Civilization.
The importance of the impend

to every legal American citizen
to manifest personal interest and
streneous effort in maintaining
the stability, prestige, and pros

To secure a continuance of the
conditions now existing, it is
necessary that every legal man
and woman should engage with
zeal and enthusiasm in awaken
ing public sentiment to the sup
port of the present administration
and its peerless leader, the Presi
dent, Theodore Roosevelt, one
who represnts the highest type
of American character in that he
s!ands for constitutional justice,
equity and protection to all citi

abroad. He advocates justice
and protection kf those of high
or low estate ; to tho millionare
and the mendicanc, the skilled
and the unskilled laborer, with
industrial opportunity for all.

are in opposition to the present
standard of American wages,
made possible by a protective
tariff, whioh they characterize as
'robbery. They are opposed to
universal education in order to
keep a large number of Ameri

have denied to a large number of
citizens the equal protection of
