Republicans to Clean up Muddle
KEYNOTE SPEECH
AT REPUBLICAN
PARTYMEETING
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10 Governor
jSprou! of Pennsylvania, in a keynote,
speech at the meeting today of the
Republican national committee, at
tacked the administration's Mexican:
policy and declared the Republican j
party approached the coming prei
dential campaign with confidence that
the pcoplo would endorse its poli ies
His outilne of thrse included B bet
ter relation between capital and labor,
economy and business management in
BdmlnistraUon, a firm handling of the
-Mexican situation, restoration ot
Americanism and constitutional gov-,
ernment and a sound solution of tin
railroad problem.
Referring briefly to the question ot i
peace, the governor declared that the;
Republican citizenship had "endeavor-j
ed to co-operate in the conclusion of
the matter, with only such limitations
as will presedve to this republic its
lull right to determine its affairs,"
under the constitution.
"We must prepare," said Governor!
Sproul, "not only to clean up lhs
governmental mess in which we find
ourselves, but we must lay our plans
for restoring our nation to the posl
tion of respect which it once held. I
"We must lay our plans to meet the
menace to our peace and well-being!
on our southwestern boundary. No
chapter in our entire national history;
Is moro disgraceful and humiliating
thai) tho story of our relations withj
Mexico during the past seven years." i
He declared that during Republican
times, relations between capital and
labor "have always been pretty well
understood." Sentiment for American
ism, he said, was rapidly increasing
abd it was the dut of the government
to promote it.
Development of national resources, I
Including the public land, vae also I
declared by the governor of prime!
UU1UI laiKC. BS JVJllll-U UUl lilt' mil
road question as forming one of the
'most difficult problems awaiting so
, lution
"The rape of the railroads," he said,
"conceived in an unholy lust for pow er
and partisan advantage, has left us
a situation which will demand the
highest abilities of sound Judgment
i and forceful management to work
j out
Governor Sproul also declared that
the people wanted relief from "the in
terminable meddling of government
departments in their private and per
sonal affairs."
."If ve will come down out of the
fool's paradise of extravagance and
inefficiency in which we have been
soaring." he said, "and get back to I
work in earnest, our troubles and
even our debts will soon vanish."
Bin Mcdill McCormlck, chairman of
the women's division of the Republn m
party. ald women would support the
Republican party because it "Is the sole
instrument for the preservation of ni
tionallsm and liberty." The party, sha
said, would eontlnue to champion social
Justice under the law and "the fervent i
principles of nationalism which Iloosev-lt 1
maintained to the end "
Mention of Colonel Roosevelt's name I
brought a storm of applause.
Mrs MrConnirk declared the women ot
the country wanted 'an American Amer
ica" and not "a Socialist or Imperialist
Internationalism "
Fovernoi ICcKolvlC of Nebraska, who
delivered the last of the kenole speeches,
declared Americanism was the OUtStand- I
mg issue and charged that the Demo
cratlc administration had used the slo-
gan "moke the world safe for democracy."
In such a "cunning way as to make pos
sible a government like that In Russia ;
rather than for edification of tho Ideals
of the republic."
The Republican congress, he said had ,
given a demonstration of adherence to
national ideal ' the like of which has
not been Been in fifty years " Meanwhile
tho administration, he asserted had '
been playing the farmer, the laborer and
the capitalist against each other "for
political purposes."' j
The farmer. Governor afcKslvls de- I
dared, had borne the burden of war ana
still was carrying more than his sharo. (
He said ery effort of the Democrat i
to aid the farmers had been founded upon
imSOUnd economic measures which only I
made matters worse Thw whole Demo-
cratlc administration, he said, 'had dealt 1
in theories and political policies wbl i
were proved false many years ago.''
The governor predicted overwhelming
Republican success next year and .said
that in Nebraska, where there recently
bad been a Democratic state admlnN
tratlon the people "were praying for it
dosed season on Democrats In order
that the parts may not become wholly
extinct."
After the addresses the committee for- j
mally confirmed the selection of H. O.
Bursum of Socorro, N. M . as national
committeeman from New Mexico, and
