lican State Central Committee, which

resolutions, which were read twice in

as amended:
WHEREAS, The maintenance of
Republican ascendancy in the control
Of State and national officers is essen
tial to the best interests Of the people
and,
WHEREAS. The Republican party
is now. as it alwsys has been, the.
chief agency in the progressive leg.
islatiou o: the country, and
WHEREAS, We believe that har.
monious cooperation on the part of
the Republican press of the State will
materially aid in carrying the party to
victory in the coming election; there.
fore be it
Resolved, That the Republican
papers of Idaho should unitedly work
in conjunction with the State Central
. Committee.
. Among the salient points of the
situation which should be specially
impressed upon the Idaho voters are !:
The question Of protection to our lead
mining and wool growing industries !;
the attitude of the two parties upon
the subject Of public land surveys; the
hostility of the last administration
toward the settlers on our public
domain, as contrasted with the liberal
management Of land Office matters by
the administration now in power. and
be It further
Resolved, That the interests of the
State demand that many impo'tsn,
measures of Legislation should be en-
acted by our next State legislature
and that some of the more urgent OF
these should be supported by the dis
,inct pledge of the party during the
campaign. We therefore request oul
State convention to take these mat
ters under consideration and incorpor
ate in the platform declarations il
favor OF needed reforms. 1t is oul
belief that Republican papers through
out the State should urge such ,
Il policy upon the convention, and, b!
their unceasing agitation, make liv,
issues of all such reforms as the con
. vention shall pledge the party to bring
10 about. We hold that our State con
q vention should declare in favor Of
" thorough irrigation law under whic
!, the interests Of all parties shall b
: carefully guarded, with the water
3 kept under tate control; that a me
y chanic's lien law should be advocates
re which would secure the tights of thos
., who furnish labor and material fo
building purposes; that constitutions
anne ndments should be proposed t
L. remedy defects in our school, judicia
rs and municipal systems; that declar
At alton in favor Of effective INSURANCE
q, and building and loan association la "
" should be made; and that the par,
'e should be pledged to a careful, thol
m ough revision of the statutes, at a
ne points, to the end that the people ma
ia understand that i, is not for the er
- joyment Of office nor for the mer
:" glory Of success, but for the benef
OF the State that our party appeals ,
e. them to intrust it with the q dminil
te ration Of the State government dul
4, ing the ensuing two years, and be-
further.
:" Resolved, That our State CONVEX
o. ton should place the party upon RI
m cord in connection with the Mormo
question on lines that shall he in hal
n. mony with its traditional love Of ju
tice. AS Republicans, We can onl
" ask that the Mormon people sha
place themselves within the law

k. and, since they have done this, tn
proposition TO repeal the law of tn
last legislature relative to this ques

Id Resolved, That the Repuhlica
press of the State should dcmonstra,
