killing OF human beings. suspected or
charged with crime. without process Of
law.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
We favor the creation Of a national
board Of arbitration to settle and ad-
just differences which may arise be-
tween employers and employed en-
gagged In interstate commerce.
HOMESTEADS.
We believe In the immediate return
to the free homestead policy Of the re-
publican party. and urge the passage
by congress OF a satisfactory free home
stead measure which has already
passed the house and is now pending In
the senate.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission OF the re-
naming territories at the earliest prac-
ticable date. having due regard for the
interest Of the territories and the Unit
ed States. All federal officers appoint
ed for the territories should be selected
from bona fide residents thereof, and
the right OF self-government should be
accorded as far as practicable. We be-
lleve the citizens OF Alaska should have
representation In the congress OF the
United States to the end that needful
legislation may be intelligently en-
acted.
TEMPERANCE.
We symparhize with all the wise and
legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils OF intemperance and promote
morality.
RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
The republican party Is mindful OF
the rights of women. Protection OF
American industries includes equal op-
v annal
and protection to the home. We favor
the admission OF women to wider
spheres of usefulness and welcome
their cooperation In rescuing the coun-
try from democratic and popu-
list mlsmanaxement and misrule.
Such are the principles and policies OF
the republican party. BY these princi-
pies we will abide and these policies we
will put into execution. We ask for
them the considerate judgment Of the
American peoples Confident alike In
| the history OF our great party. and. In
| Justice OF our cause. We present our
| platform and our candidates In the full
| assurance that the election will bring
victory to the republican party and
prosperity to the people Of the United
| States.

when the words of the platform pledg-

protection In the interest Of American

The first sentence OF the plank

a general disappointment. As the plank
