A South’s Republican Future and Its Confederate Echoes
Extracts from Hon. John A Wise's 1937 Michigan banquet speech praise the Republican Party as the South’s future hope. The speaker argues for continued party faith, cites Washington era principles, contrasts Republicans and Democrats, and urges unity, growth in Southern industry, and broad political mobilization.
Monument to George Washington and the Republican cause
The speaker extols Washington as the ideal and credits the Republican party with preserving his enduring principles. He contrasts the parties, lauds Washington’s virtue over Napoleon and Caesar, and describes a national monument rising from flawed beginnings to a guiding, unblemished symbol of liberty. The speech links party fate to the nation's core ideals.
