Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 243, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1920 — TO THE G. O. P. [ARTICLE]

TO THE G. O. P.

Thy laurels are won But the G. O. P. goes on Not content with victories past; Not until AU foes are still To the last. The G. O. P. lives for the right, The G. O. P. prays for the light; Conquering many a stormy cloud With courage of which we should be proud. ’Tis not in physical might But in spiritual right That makes the G. O. P. a winner. One good and cheerful loser, Yes, good morals the G. O. P. teachAnd not alone these Frome the housetops preaches But in consecrated lives An answer to the whys The G. O. P. never dies. The G. O. P. is founded on reason Very kin to Wisdom And with God at its right hand This optimistic working band I hope will always stand To do a just amount of good In this most blessed land Where all can help if they but would. —An American. ■
