REPUBLICAN TEXT-BOOK, 1902.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,

EMBODIES ITS PRINCIPLES IN LAW AND EXECUTES THEM IN ADMINISTRATION.

"You do not have to guess what the Republican party will do. The whole world knows its purposes. It has embodied them in law and executed them in administration."

It is written also in the commercial invasion of Europe, in Cuba, where a new flag has appeared as a testimonial to the fidelity of this party to the cause of free government, in Hawaii, and Porto Rico, as new territories, in the Philippines, where civil government
