It Is genearlly conceded that the election on November 7 will be the most important in the nation's history. his-tory. This Is due, probably, to the fact that the United States is the only one of the big nations not engaged in the world war. This war has cost millions of human lives, billions In property destruction and, from its prosecution, saddled the old world with an indebtedness which It will be unable to liquidate for generations to come. Most important of all it has engendered in the belligerent powers a disposition to utterly disregard disre-gard the rights of neutral nations as defined by international law. Such incidents as the Lusltanla disaster have drawn the American nation perilously per-ilously near the danger line. Except that tho loss of American life in this catastrophe aroused the Indignation of the American people, It is argued that at no time has the American nation been in danger of an open assault on the part of one of the belligerent powers. Therefore, the possibility of the United States being draAvn Into the struggle has been remote. It has been remote because it was a. physical impossibility impossi-bility unless the nation, itself sought war and manifested that disposition by plunging into the struggle of its own accord. The European nations, at the outset of the struggle, dis covered tnat America could serve them best by remaining at peace or, at least, preserving fceace within its own domain. The fact that international interna-tional law so far a3 tho European nations, whether neutral or belligerent, belliger-ent, wero concerned, was shot full of holes, theoretically and materially, cannot be considered an excuse for transgression of American rights, such as was found in the Lusltanla disaster. Amorlcan rights in this and many other instances were trampled tram-pled underfoot because the pilot of the nation's destiny sought to lay down in preference to enforcing ro-spect ro-spect for our claims to freedom of the high seas. Mr. Hughes, In reply re-ply to charges "what he would have.' done," asserted that he could have mado conditions right before May 15, i 1915, for commanding the respect! for rights of the American nation. ( He stated that at no time would he have allowed them to have been usurped. New Conditions Certain After European War. When the war closes the American Ameri-can nation will bo confronted with new conditions. New markets will be created. The nations now on-gaged on-gaged in destruction will turn to profitable pursuits and commerco will be renewed. The prophesy that a trade war will follow the conflict will surely be fulfilled. Renewal of trade will mean a renewal of competition. American labor and American industry must be protected. protect-ed. The Republican party has pledged Its candidates for public office of-fice to provide that protection. And In so doing establishes safeguard against the destructive effect of a tariff measure, like the Underwood law, which reduced a big surplus to nothing and created a big deficit be-foro be-foro the outbreak of the war. Furthermore, Fur-thermore, by the establishment of a firm foreign policy, it insures tho placing of the nation in a position that will enable It to command tho respect of tho Its rights at homo ana abroad. The spirit of the constitution constitu-tion and tho Monroe doctrine demands de-mands that the United States be restored re-stored to its former high position among the ruling powers of th world. National Issues; What tho Party Stands For. Tho national Republican party stands for tho principle of tho pro-tectiye pro-tectiye tariff, which alone makes possible the steady employment of tho Amorlcan workman and which alono continuously safeguards the markets of the American farmer. It stands firmly for tho protection of the American nation from attacks of foreign enemies by the maintenance mainte-nance of an adequate army and navy. It stands solidly for the protection of the lives, the rights, the shipping and other propertj' of American citizens citi-zens at homo and abroad. It stands unalterably for peace, not the peace that results from a failure to command com-mand respect from tho other nations of the world, but peace that comes by maintaining the honor and dignity and Interests of the government and Its people, for preparedness, not under un-der tho belated compulsion of public opinion, but preparedness in advance of and In preparation for tho necessity ne-cessity of It; for protection, not of the temporary character produced by a foreign war, but the permanent prosperity of the protective tariff. It contrasts Its unparalleled record of 60 years of constructive states-craft, states-craft, both foreign and domestic, during which timo it never failed to redeem a promise mado the people, with the record of the Democratic party during tho last three years and a half, with its long list of broken promises, with its vacillating and humiliating foreign policy, and Its Inconsistent protection of the industries indus-tries of certain sections of the country, coun-try, particularly the south, and the consequent discrimination against the industries of tho other section, particularly the went. Strartllns Character. National Candidates Men of The Republican party presents as Its candidate for president, Charles E. Hughes. This strong, Bteadfast, Bterling American has behind him the records of having been ono of the most suc cessful attorneys that ever appeared in behalf of the people, one of tho most popular and progressive governors govern-ors the great empire state ever had, one of tho moBt conscientious and forward-looking judges that ever sat upon the supreme court of ths United States. This record Is the best guaranty that as the nation's chief executive ho will keep faith with tho people, stand firmly for the principles princi-ples of the Republican party, advocate advo-cate remedial legislation only after a full and complete investigation of the facts, and splendidly and consistently con-sistently maintain America's prestlgo at homo and abroad. As its candidate for United States senator the Republican party presents GEORGE SUTHERLAND, who for the last 12 years has so successfully represented his native state in tho senate of the United States, who during dur-ing that priod unceasingly labored to secure that legislation which best meets the needs of his state and the nation, who has become known as one of the best friends of the laboring labor-ing man in the entire country, who has well earned the title of "The ablest constitutional .lawyer in tho Benate," and as a result has been unanimously chosen as president of the American Bar association. As its candidate for congressman, the Republican party presents TIMOTHY 0. HOYT. of Weber county, whose unequalled acquaintance acquaint-ance with Utah'B conditions and necessities, ne-cessities, gained as a result of many years' employment in the national forestry service, eminently fits him to secure for his native state legislation by the congress and that consideration considera-tion by tho national government which will Insure her future develop- THE ERA OF CONSTRUCTION We are concerned not so much with the past as with the present and the future; we are interested, inter-ested, not so much in criticism as in construction. The task at hand and the work before us are big enough to engage our best thought and all our thought. We must build for tomorrow and our'plan must be as wide as the horizon now opening before us. A new world is being born. Just as the Napoleonic wars destroyed an outworn political dispensation, dis-pensation, so the present conflict is ending, an old economic system. In this new day, and amidst ' these changed conditions, there must be a new America. Let us be thankful and glad that we are privileged to lay its foundations. K t This work means, first of all, a broader..dceper, stronger nationalism. The philosophy of localism lo-calism is dead. The practice of it must no longer- interfere with the unity of the republic. Nar tional law and national authorit' must ideal with all things that help or hurt the entire people. Speech of Hon. Albert J.

The Republican county ad minis- tration has been a worthy steward of the county's affairs. It has reduced the county's bonded Indebtedness from $120,000.00 to 1 $44,000.00.
