He said the treaty must he enforced in its original form. M. Poincare presided at the unveiling of a monument to the Nevers war dead. Versailles treaty is sacred to France." said the Premier.

It was sealed with the blood of our dead. We will not let it be touched. "The moment France is negotiating with German industrialists to take for reparations some of the formidable profits they have made since 19PJ, the moment we see the last spasm of German resistance is not the moment to change our conduct. We will not change it. are desirous of solving the grave questions confronting us as rapidly as possible in complete agreement with our Poincare said.

we will not retreat on the question of lixing the amount of our bill against Germany, abandon our rights, renounce our pledges or tear up the treaty that was signed by so many are willing to examine what Germany can pay now, or within a short time. We are willing that the reparations commission had to determine new methods of payment, we are willing for the reparations commission to search for means of restoring German finances. "These functions are within the rights and of the reparations commission, but we will not agree to the reparations commission reducing the German debt to France nor make a decision of definite time limit the 1 ut tire. will not be caught in any trap by which Germany seeks to be relieved of part of her debt and be enriched within a few years, humiliating us and smashing us with her supremacy. will not permit France' to be ruined for the purpose of enriching a few magnates, who are real Invite Public to Hear Interesting Lecture Tomorrow evening there will be a me ting of the Bristol Travel Club held in the Presbyterian Church.

The ceremony took place in St. James's Episcopal Church and was REVIOUS to the Primary the Courier printed several letters and reports bearing on the work of the Borough Council and especially the situation in the new Sixth Ward, TTie voters, then, are familiar with conditions and we need not repeat here the splendid record of Council, several of whose members have been renominated. Our wish is to bring out a large vote on Election Day, Mili believing that such a vote means a decisive Republican victory. 1 lie casting of a vote for a manager of public affairs, whether Borough, County, State or Nation is one of the highest privileges possessed by American citizens, including now the women as well as the men, and the vote of the humblest is equal to the vote of the Governor of the State or the Presi dent of the Nation. Exercising the right of franchise should not, then, be neglected And this applies to the Members of one party as well as another, because the stronger the minority party shows itself to be the greater effort to win must be put forth by the majority party, and there is no effort that can be made towards winning on election day than having the strongest possible candidates.

This is just what the Republican Party has given us this year. Every candidate for every office is fitted by every qualification for the office for which he or she has been nominal ed. Most of the candidates are not only equipped by ability but possess the experience which is so valuable. I hat would seem to make Republican success assured. Only there is such! a thing as over-confidence.

1 he voter will say: It is not I necessary for me to go to the polls, we will win any way. That is not the true American Republican spirit. Every added vote is added approval of the work already done. It is encouraging and inspiriting and there could not be a greater incentive, to the elected candidate than to know that a large vote had been cast for him or her by all of the party. The Republican Party is a constructive not a destructive party.

Its National, State and local policy is to build up, not tear down. Its candidates support that policy and are, there- The children of Bristol will remember the Mill Street Frolic for many a day.
