Book Synopsis The Republican Dilemma by : Conrad Joyner
Download or read book The Republican Dilemma written by Conrad Joyner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republican Dilemma: Conservatism or Progressivism The acceptance of modern Republicanism is painful for many Republicans, but it is part of the process in regaining majority party status. Republicans have not been able to reclaim all the glory that was once theirs. This, in part, results from the fact that the conversion to modern Republicanism is not complete. Nostalgic and passionate references to the past keep reappearing. The conservatives do not die or even fade away. Rather, they have gained prominence and been nurtured by the handsome and articulate junior senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater. This man and his followers will make certain that the great party battles which occurred when Willkie and Eisenhower were nominated will be re-enacted with different casts at future Republican conventions. There are some who contend that the party members do not know what has happened to them that they are modern Republicans. The recent recollections of Willkie's nomination and the indication by political observers (such as Kenneth Crawford of Newsweek and the editors of the New Republic) that the Republicans are looking for another Willkie underlie the notion that the Republicans do not know or have forgotten what happened in the 1940 convention. In view of revival of interest in Willkie and the past two decades of strife in the gop over policy, there are a number of questions which Republicans and all Americans need to ask. What was the plight of the Republican party in 1940? Who was Willkie? What did he stand for? Why did the Republicans want Willkie? Do they want another Willkie in 1964 or at any convention in the next decade? To answer these questions one must dip into the past in order to recapture the nature of the Republicans during the 1930's, to recount the turbulent years of the man who became their spokesman in 1940, and to take stock of the more recent state of the party. Thus, the focus of the following pages will be Willkie's nomination how it came about and what effect it had on the Republican party. In this context it is possible to engage in the hazardous sport of gazing into the political crystal ball and forecasting the future of the Republicans, particularly what kind of man they are likely to select as their presidential candidate in 1964.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republican Party: Its History, Principles, and Policies There has been at times a tendency rather to fling at its grand old record than to count the value of its work. It is especially important, therefore, that the popular mind be instructed to look beyond the catchwords and party cries of the hour, and to comprehend the principles that are at stake. Happily, too, a reaction has already begun in consequence of the present Democratic supremacy, with its painful back-sliding from the pretense of civil-service reform; the acknowledged inability of its chief to rise above its own level, either of reform or of administration; its humiliating abandonment of American rights in all its negotiations with foreign powers; and its now unconcealed surrender of the protection of American industries and labor. The Republican party has not only made a Presidential nomination which commands the universal respect due to a loyal soldier, a wise statesman, and an honest, unspotted man, but its platform is a fearless, outspoken statement of its faith, evading nothing, inviting discussion, patriotic, progressive, American. The following pages will not have been written in vain if they shall cooperate with the efforts of a party which puts such leaders at its front and so boldly enunciates its principles: or if they shall help to reawaken the spirit which in 1861 sprang, at the risk of life itself, to the rescue of freedom and the Union, and which in 1888 is again summoned to the battle of the people - the battle of an honest vote against a corrupt ballot-box; of education and temperance against the grog-shop; of protected labor against pauperism; and of a country developed, defended, prosperous, against national humiliation on the one hand or an "innocuous desuetude" on the other.

Book Synopsis The Republican Party by : Charles Sumner
Download or read book The Republican Party written by Charles Sumner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republican Party: Its Origin, Necessity and Permanence Mr. Calhoun regarded Slavery as a permanent institution; Mr. Adams regarded it as something transitory Mr. Calhoun vaunted it as a form of civilization; Mr. Adams scorned it as an unquestionable barbarism. Mr. Calhoun did not hesitate to call it the most stable basis for free government; Mr. Adams vehemently denounced it as a curse, full of weakness and mockery and doubly offensive in a boastful Republic. Mr. Calhoun, not content with thus exalting Slavery, proceeded to condemn the early opinions of Washington and Jefferson as "folly and delusion" to assail the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence as "absurd," and then to proclaim that human beings are property under the Constitution and as such, may be transported into the Territories and there held in Slavery; while Mr Adams added to the glory of his long and diversified career, by persistent efforts, which are better for his fame than having been President - upholding the great rights of petition and of speech, vindicating the early opinions of the Fathers, and the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence; exposing the hateful character of Slavery; insisting upon its prohibition in the Territories; denying the asserted property in man, and especially and often exhibiting the unjust power in the National Government, usurped by what he called "the little cluster" of slave-masters, whose yoke was to him intolerable. Such, most briefly told, were the antagonist opinions of these two chiefs. Never was great conflict destined to involve a great country more distinctly foreshadowed. All that the Republican party now opposes may be found in John C. Calhoun. All that the Republican party now maintains may be found in John Quincy Adams. Choose ye, fellow citizens, between the two. The rule of "Principles, and not men" is hardly applicable to a man whose life now bears the sacred seal of death, and whose name is the synonym of principle, yet I do not hesitate to say that our cause is best appreciated in its precise objects and aims. Proud as we may be to tread where John Quincy Adams leads the way, there is a guide of more commanding authority found in the eternal law of Right, and the concurring mandate of the Constitution itself when properly interpreted, which teaches the duties of a good citizen. Such is the guide of the Republican party which, I say fearlessly, where most known, will be most trusted, and which, when understood in its origin, will be seen to be no accidental or fugitive organization, merely for an election, but an irresistible necessity, which in the nature of things must be as permanent as the pretensions, moral and political, which it seeks to constrain and counteract. Let us dwell, then, on the Republican party, its Origin, its Necessity, and its Permanence: All must admit that if no Republican party existed now - even if that halcyon day so often promised by cajoling politicians had come, when the Slavery Question was settled - still there would be a political necessity for a great party of Opposition to act as a check on the Administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contest in America The cloud which for the space of a month hung gloomily over the civilized world, black with far worse evils than those of simple war, has passed from over our heads without bursting. The fear has not been realized, that the only two first-rate Powers who are also free nations would take to tearing each other in pieces, both the one and the other in a bad and odious cause. For while, on the American side, the war would have been one of reckless persistency in wrong, on ours it would have been a war in alliance with, and, to practical purposes, in defence and propagation of, slavery. We had, indeed, been wronged. We had suffered an indignity, and something more than an indignity, which, not to have resented, would have been to invite a constant succession of insults and injuries from the same and from every other quarter. We could have acted no otherwise than we have done: yet it is impossible to think, without something like a shudder, from what we have escaped.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Republican Superstitions as Illustrated in the Political History of America How were these States formed? Why was New York large and Rhode Island small Why should not the American people have partitioned out their territory into a convenient number of districts The States had been developed from various historic centres, and although their interests were, certainly at that time, identical, and their boundaries scarcely defined, the local sentiment was as yet quite too strong for the formation of a large and earnest nationality. The union they did frame was not one Of sympathy, but one formed under the sense of separate weakness in presence of a foreign enemy. Its brief duration showed that the State was everything, the solidarity Of the people nothing; and after a life enfeebled by inter-state jealousies, its inharmonious existence terminated.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook, Republican Institutions in the United States of America: Based Upon Federal and State Laws, and Other Reliable of Information During the twenty-two years I have spent in Canada and in the United States, I have frequently heard it said that an immigrant into either of these countries, who brings some capital with him, is not likely to permanently succeed until he has lost all he brought with him and has started afresh. Exceptions prove the rule, of course, it is said. My personal observation and experience tend to corroborate the above saying. But why should this be so? Every one can theorise, and will probably arrive at a, to him, satisfactory answer. I myself am not prepared to answer the question. As a sportsman, I would say that the new-comer was not in condition to run, and was also too heavily handicapped by carrying too much dead-weight in the shape of ignorance, &c. As a man of business, I would say that the new-comer was too apt to take risks (perhaps tantamount, in the circumstances, to gambling), which the cautious man would deem suicidal. As a lawyer, I would say that the newcomer might as well consider the youngest law-apprentice competent to fill the office of the Lord Chancellor, as himself to hold his own in the United States without long years of study of the institutions and laws of the country, and without practical experience and knowledge of the people. I would like to assist my countrymen (English, Irish, and Scotch) in an effort to overcome the dead-weight "ignorance," and now spread before them a banquet of Republican Institutions in the United States of America. It will doubtless seem dry and repulsive to the thoughtless, while the sensible will remember that it took a long time of constant application to learn to read, to write, to sum; and that the battle of life is one to the death, and requires tools of the keenest edge. "Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest," are what I would advise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Republican Campaign d104-Book: 1916 President Faunce's Opinion of Charles E. Hughes President W. H. P. Faunce, Of Brown University, Writes As Follows: I have known Justice Hughes intimately since we were students together at Brown and have seen him a thousand times at work and at play. No man of our generation has a finer combination of character and intellect. Absolutely fearless, unselfish, loyal to American ideals, he is worthy of a nations trust. All his friends know that behind the dignity of bearing is a rich fund of humor and good fellowship. Whether he is climbing a mountain, reading novels, playing with his children, resisting a political lobby or delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court, he is ever the same rugged, democratic, fairminded American. His varied experience has given him wide horizon and sympathy with every aspect of American life. He possesses two qualities rarely found together - the judicial temper and the capacity for swift and resolute action. Under his administration the fog which now besets many public questions would be cleared away. His penetrating mind goes to the heart of any subject he selects and strips of Ethe irrelevant at once. Such a mind is peculiarly needed amid the intricate problems that now confront America. We need more than good intentions. We need clear vision, sound judgment, strong will, unhesitating decision. In short, we need Charles E.Hughes. Governor Hughes; Greatest Friend of Labor The Legislative Labor News, Of New York, October 10, 1910, Had the Following: Now that Governor Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place on the highest judicial tribunal in the world, the fact can be acknowledged without hurting anybody's political corns, that he was the greatest friend of labor laws that ever occupied the Governors chair at Albany. During his two terms he has signed 56 labor laws, including among them the best labor laws ever enacted in this or any other State. He also urged the enactment of labor laws in his messages to the Legislature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the Legislature. Only 162 labor laws have been enacted in this State since its erection in 1777 - in 133 years. One-third of these, exceeding in quality all of the others, have been enacted and signed during Governor Hughes's term of three years and nine months. With such a record of approval and suggestion of progressive legislation in the interest of humanity to his credit, it is easy to believe that human rights will have a steadfast and sympathetic upholder in the new Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Download or read book True Republicanism written by Frank Preston Stearns and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from True Republicanism: Or the Real and Ideal in Politics There is a common misconception that re publicanism and democracy are convertible terms. The difference can best be explained, perhaps, by examples. A late writer on poli tics spoke of Venice and Rome as democracies; but Venice was never a democracy, at least within historical times; and Rome only became a democracy during the ten years while Caesar was in Gaul. Likewise, Holland was a repub lic in the time of Cromwell, but it did not be come a democracy until it was revolutionized by Pichegru. Great Britain is now more dem ocratic in some respects than the United States of America; that is, public opinion acts upon the government there more quickly and f orci bly than it does here. Republicanism is a form, and democracy would seem to be more like a political condition. All that one can say of a government is that it is more or less democratic. Even in Germany there is universal sufi' rage, and the people control the financial budget. Republicanism means that the chief magistrate of a nation is an elective and not a hereditary.
