PLATFORM.
The Mckinley republican plat
form says in part:
We heartily indorse the repub-
lican national platform adopted at
st. Louis July Is, 1896, and the
nominees of that convention-Hon.
William Mckinley for president
and Garrett A. Hobart for vice
president Of the United States.
We believe the depressed condi-
ton of the industries of this state,
agricultural, mining, and live stock
is mainly due to the repeal of the
Mckinley tariff law, and that the
complete restoration Of the former
prosperous times of these indus
tries in this state can not be
brought about without similar
legislation. We therefore declare
that we are in favor of such legis-
lation as will protect the American
citizen in the production Of lead,
lead ore, wool, sheep, cattle, horses,
hogs, hides, horticultural, agricul-
tural and oil other products of our
state.
We indorse and adopt the dec
laratiOn in the republican national
platform relating to the financial
policy of this government, and rec
ognize that bimetallism, which is
the ultimate object to be attained
by all intelligent advocates of the
free coinage of silver, can only be
brought about through the policy
of the republican party.
1t declares in favor of maintain
ing the supremacy of the laws and
in favor of necessary irrigation leg
islation, favors the election o.
United States senator by direct
vote of the people, and says fur.
Their:
We favor the enforcement of the
law for the assessment of all tax
able property in the state for it,
actual cash value, without discrim
nation. We favor the amend
ments to the constitution of this
state proposed by the late republi
can legislature, including equa
suffrage for men and women, ant
recommend their adoption.
The following additional resolu
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That this convention
appreciates and indorses the faith
full and laborious services of Geo
l.. Shoup in the senate of the Uni
ted States, in his efforts to protec
the interests Of Idaho, and il
maintaining the integrity of the
republican party; we appreciate
the fact that he has been selected
by the republican national com
mittee as one of its advisory mem
bers, and we congratulate hin
upon his selection as such member
and pledge to him our hearty co
operation in his loyal and unceas
ing efforts to advance the cause O
