We are told in its present platform
that there have been "momentous
changes" in the last two years, ana
hence, repudiating its former attitude,
the Democratic party now declares
for a "nonpartisan tariff commis

For Scientific Protection
But have the "momentous changes"
incident to the European war chang
ed the constitution of the United
States? Is it proposed to use a tariff
commission to frame a tariff for rev
enue only? Is the opposing party
ready to confess that for generations
It has misread the constitution? Is
that party now prepared to accept the
protective principle? Rather, so far
as the tariff is concerned, it would
appear to be without principle.

TUESDAY EVENING,
the sugar duties, its reaffirmation of
Y the doctrine of a revenue tariff, its
■ dyestuffs proposal and its formulation
in lieu of protective duties of an "anti
dumping" provision, the terms of
£ which are sufficient to show its in
. effective character!
The Republican party stands for the
j principle of protection. We must ap
s ply that principle fairly, without
j abuses, in as scientific a manner as
possible; and congress should be aid
j ed by the investigations of an expert
. body. We stand for the safeguard
ing of our economic independence,
for the development of American in
dustry. for the maintenance of Ameri
' can standards of living. We propose
- that in the competitive struggle that
5 is about to come the American work
f in groan shall not suffer.
The Republican party is not a sec
tional party. It thinks and plans
5 nationally. Its policies are for the
s promotion Of the prosperity of every
5 part of the country, south, east, north
r and west. It is not simply a question
1 of a wise adjustment of the tariff m
j accordance with sound principle, but
i there is also the need in other respects
for stable conditions for commercial
and industrial progress.
If we are to meet effectively the
conditions which will arise after the
war is over, we must put our house
in order. Let it be understood that
the public right is to be maintained
without fear or favor. But let us show
that we can do this without impairing
the essential agencies of progress.
Muat Aid Honest Enterprise
There is no forward movement, no
endeavor to promote social justice,
which in the first analysis does not rest
upon the condition that there shall be
a stable basis for honest enterprise.
This subject has several important
phases to which at this time I can al
lude only briefly. We should place our
transportation system on a sure foot
ing. We should be able wisely to ad
just out; regulative powers so "that the
fundamental object of protecting the
public interest can be fully secured
without uncertainties or conflicts and
without hampering the development
and expansion of transportation facili
ties. The national end may be accom
plished without the sacrifice of any in
terest that is essentially local, or with
out weakening public control.
Our present system is crude and in
adequate. Moreover, in the severe eco
nomic struggle that is before us. and in
seeking as we should to promote our
productive Industries ana to expand our
commerce—notably our foreign com
merce—we shall require the most effi
cient organization, quite as efficient as
that found in any nation abroad. There
must be no unnecessary wastes and no
arbitrary obstructions.
We have determined to cut out. root
and branch, monopolistic practices, but
we can do this without hobbling en
terprise or narrowing the scope of legi
timate achievement. Again, we must
build up our merchant marine. It will
not aid to put the government into
competition with private owners. That,
it seems to me, is a counsel of folly.
A surer way of destroying the prom
ise of our foreign trade could hardly
be devised. It has well been asked:
Does the government intend to operate
at a profit or at a loss? We need the
encouragement and protection of gov
ernment for our shipping industry, but
it cannot afford to have the government
as a competitor.
Vrgea Protection of I.abor Interests
We stand for the conservation of the
just interests of labor. We do not de
sire production, or trade, or efficiency In
either, for its own sake, but for the bet
terment of the lives of human be
ings. We shall not have any last
ing Industrial property,' unless we
buttress our industr'al endeavors by
adequate means for the protection of
health; for the elimination of unnecea-
HARRISBURG Qs33sS££ TELEGRAPH
sary perils to life and limb; for the
safeguarding of our future through
proper laws for protection of women
and children in industry: for increasing
opportunities for education and train
ing.
We should be solicitous to inquire
carefully into every grievance, remem
bering that there are few disputes
which cannot easily be adjusted if
1 there be an impartial examination of
I the facts.
We make common cause in this
country, not for a few. but for all;
and our watchword must be co-opera
tion. not exploitation. No plans will
be adequate save as they are instinct
with genuine democratic sympathy.
I stand for adequate federal work
-1 men's compensation laws, dealing not
only with the employes of government,
but with those employes who are en
gaged in inter-State commerce, and are
subject t othe hazard of inqury, so
that those activities which are within
the sphere of the constitutional author
ity of Congress may be dealt with un
der a suitable law.
For Conservation of Heaourcea
We promise to promote by every
practicable means our agricultural In
terests. and we include in this program
an effective system of rural credits.
We favor the wise conservation of our
naturai resources. We desire not only
that they shall be safeguarded, but that
they shall be adequately developed and
used to the utmost public advantage.
We turn to other considerations of
important policy. One of these is our
attitude toward the Philippines. That,
I may say. is not a question of self
interest. We have assumed Interna
tional obligations which we should not
permit ourselves to evade. A breach
of trust is nt an admissible American
polio*, though our opponents have
seemed to consider It such. We should
administer government in the Philip
pines with a full recognition of our in
ternational duty, without partisanship,
with the aim of maintaining the high
est stands of expert administration, and
In the interest of the Filipinos. This
is a matter of national honor.
Would PSSK Woman Suffrage
I ludorne the declaration In the plat
form In favor of woman suffrage. I do
not consider It necessary to re view the
arguments usually advanced on the one
side or the other, as my own convic
tions proceed from a somewhat differ
ent point of view.
Some time ago, a consideration of our
economic conditions and tendencies, of
the position of women In gainful occu
pations, of the nature and course of
the demand, led me to the conclusion
that the granting of suffrage to women
is inevitable.
j Opposition may delay, but in my
Judgment cannot defeat this movement.
Nor can I see any advantages in the
delay which can possibly offset the dis
advantages which are necessarily in
cident to the continued agitation.
Facts should be squarely met. We
shall have a constantly intensified ef
fort and i. distinctly feminine move
ment constantly perfecting its organi
zation to the subversion of normal po
litical issues. We shall have a struggle
increasing in bitterness, which I believe
to be inimical to our welfare.
If women are to have the vote, as I
believe they are, it seems to me entire
ly clear that in the interest of the pub
lic life of this country, the contest
should be ended promptly. I favor the
vote for women.
Stand* by Civil Service I.aws
Confronting every effort to im
prove conditions is the menace of In
competent administration. It is an
extraordinary notion that democracy
can be faithfully served by inexpert
ness. Democracy needs exact knowl
edge. special skill and thorough train
ing in its servants. I have already
spoken of the disregard of proper
standards, in numerous instances, in
appointments to the diplomatic ser
vice.
Unfortunately, there has been a simi
lar disregard of executive responsi
bility in appointments to important ad
ministrative positions in our domestic
service. Even with a respect to tech
nical bureaus, the demands of science
have been compelled to yield to the
demands of politics.
We have erected against importuni
ties of spoilsmen the barriers of the
civil service laws, but under the pres
ent administration enactments provid
ing for the creation of large numbers
of places have been deliberately re
moved from the merit system. The
principles of our civil service laws have
been shamelessly violated. We stand
for fidelity to these principles and their
consistent application. And. further.
It is our purpose that administrative
chiefs shall be men of special compe
tence. eminently quailed for their Im
portant work.
Time For Budget System
Our opponents promised "economy, but
they have shown a reckless extrava
gance. They have been wasteful and
profligate. It is time that we had fiscal
reform. We demand a simple business
like budget. I believe it Is only through
a responsible budget, proposed by the
executive, that we shall avoid financial
waate and secure proper administra
tive efficiency, and a well-balanced
consideration of new administrative
proposals.
We live In a fateful hour. In a true
«

sense, the contest for the preservation •
of the nation is never ended. AVe must !
still be imbued with the spirit of heroic i
sacrifice which gave us our country and ;
brought us safely through the days of i
evil war.
We renew our pledge to the ancient
ideals of individual liberty, of oppor
tunity denied to none because of race
or creed, of unswerving loyalty.
We have a vision of America pre
pared and secure; strong and just; equal
to her task; an exemplar of the ca
pacity and efficiency of a free people.
I indorse the platform adopted by the j
convention and accept its nomination. '
