friendly rivalry of the states. We should
make a considerable exhibit of Iowa's
produce, and we favor a liberal appropri-
alton by the next general assembly for
this purpose that our prosperity and
greatness may be fully exemplified.
| Eleventh. We take pride in the re-
cord of this state and recognize that its
growth and power, its prosperity and its
good name are fruits of its industrial
people and we believe in such a policy.
state and national. as will promote jus

these classes, and to their support in the
future as in the past we pledge our most
intelligent judgment and our most sin
cere endeavor.
Twelfth. We point to the record of
this state under republican administra-
ton for justification in the declaration
that we favor economy and honesty in
the administration of public affairs; to
that record also for judgment that the
republican party has kept faith with the
people OF this state in its obligations of
the past and upon that record we invite
continued support and confidence.
Thirteenth-We have no apologies to
offer to the people nor to the democratic
party for the republican record in con

year. In the interests of Temperance

the representatives of its sovereign peO-

recognize that the issue is laid against
the defiance of law. subordination against
INSTRUMENTATION; the state of Iowa
against the democratic party. We rec
ognize that the issue Of it is between the
interests Of true temperance and free
dom and the rule of indiscriminate traf-
tic. We renew our allegiance to the peo-
pie OF Iowa and submit to them the de-
termination of the issue. recognizing that
he control of the next legislature by the
democratic party means statewide IL
cense. and that the control of the next
legislature by the republicans means
continued opposition to the behests of
saloon power through the maintenance
and enforcement of the law.
Fourteenth. We denounce the demo-
cratic party of Iowa as insincere in it's
dealings with the saloon issue. We
charge that party with service to the
saloon and with the purpose to strength
en- tnelr grasp on the,hOmes and politics
or the state. We cite in proof of this
the surrender of the local option feature
OF the plank of 1889, under which last
year a pretense of Endorsement by this
state was made. and to which a pledge
was given in proof for legislative author

trust in the democratic party will end in
the complete breaking down of temper

every township thereof.
Flfteenth-We protest against the re-
election of Boies to the g%overnorship of
Iowa.
SiXteenth-We denounce the Ottum-
wa platform of this year as framed with
the deliberate purpose to mislead and
deceive; wherein sympathy is expressed
where o is felt; wherein help is pro-
posed where none will be rendered.:
wherein purposes are avowed where none
are entertained.
Seventeenth-We denounce the demo-
cratic party for misrepresentation in its
platform and before the people of the
Mckinley bill.
Eighteenth We arraign the demo-
party for opposing ballot reform
