modified, and IL is the business Of congress
to devise permanent and flexible system
which will meet this requirement.
There is nothing hopeful or helpful in the
projects and plans proposed by the Demo
cratic party or by the Peoples party on this
subject, but only confusion and disaster as
experience has shown would follow the
adoption of their plans and projects.
OTHER GREAT QUESTIONS.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRE-
sENTATIvEs THIS YEAR.
There are other questions of public i'm
portance that l cannot allude to now for
want of time, and others that have been
the subject of fierce controversy in the past,
but have now become part OF the settled
policy of the country, and still others are
so universally approved that, respects
them, the Democrats in their platforms
have substantially approved following the
resolves of the Republican party at Mime
apolis.
Both parties, alike, in their platforms,
oppose trusts and pledge all practical
amendments TO existing legislation for their
repression; both favor vigorous and con-
sistent foreign policy; both favor restric-
tons upon immigration; both favor the
Nicaragua canal both favor the Worlds
Columbian Exposition as an international
enterprise both favor protection of railway
employees by proper legislation both favor
just and liberal pensions.
1t must be instructive to the voter to ex
anime the record of the Democratic party
upon some of these question, with view
to probe the sincerity of their resolves.
have faith that the people of the United
States, when brought face to face with the
important issues dividing the parties, will
this year solve them by supporting the Re-
publican platform and Republican candi-
dates. | am sure the intelligent voters of
this state will make no mistake.

selection of the best men to carry our ban
ner. Strong in our presidential ticket,
strong in our state nominations, strong in
our electoral ticket, and strong in our
nominees for congress, we go forth to battle
in this state confident of victory.
STRONG MEN NEEDED IN THE HOUSE
As respects the great issues | have dis
cussed, the Republican party of this state
appreciates the value of able defenders and
tried and true men on the floor of the house.
The house of representatives has always
been, and always will be, the favorite arena
for the display of the most brilliant talents
and for the origination of great measures of
public policy affecting the public veal.
So in this state, in every congressional
district, as of one accord. the strongest and
best men have been put forward. In the
First Fourth. Sixth and Eighth districts
all closely contested by our opponents, and
all but the Eighth now held by Democrats
Gear, Updegratf Lacey and Hepburn have
Deen CHOSEN 10 wage the Dattie, all OF WnOm
have before served in the house with con-
spicuous ability and usefulness, all able to
take a leading part in every important de-
bate. They all can be, and ought to be,
elected for the good of the state. In the
Seventh. Tenth and Eleventh, Hull. Dolli-
vcr and Perkins. Dollivcr, with the longest
service of the three, has shown himself to
be great worker, and by his brilliant and
effective oratory has won Il conspicuous po-
sition in the house and established a ma
| tional reputation as platform speaker.
Perkins carried with him to The house
! the best of all training for public
| service long experience as an editor of
| a great daily paper, and ut once took
! rank as one ofthc best equipped members of
! the body. Hull, with long experience as n
| legislator in our state, with ready and eff
| fective power of debate, has. with Perkins,
| already achieved q conspicuous place In
! selecting these veterans in public service,
| though SOME of them young in years, the
| aggressive and deServedly Influential young
| element in our state has not been forgotten,
| and it finds in the nomination of Monroe in
| the Second, of Cousins in the Fifth, and
! Hager in the Ninth, true representatives of
! their thought and purpose. All of them
| self-mude men, all Of them in sympathy
with our needs and wants, all well equipped,
| and of good ability and character. All
| should be elected and can be, except in the
| Second, which fear is joined to its idols,
| but here vigorous struggle should be made,
even though success is only hopeful.
