Another Republican policy which
must be ever maintained is that of
generous provision for these who have
fought the country's battles and for
the widows and orphans Of those who
have fallen. We commend the in
crease in ihe widows' pensions made
by the present congress and declare
for a liberal administration of a-iJ pen
sion laws to the end that (he people's
gratitude may stow deeper as t&e5
memories of eroic sacrifice grdv?"
tnore sacred with ihe passing years.

and none of the steps forward here
proposed could be ..taken under a
'Democratic administration or under
one in which party responsibility is
divided.
