their adherence TO the principles set
iortn IN the 81 Louis platform, ami
hereby renew their allegiance to the
great party that has shown itself So
well able - administer the affairs OF
government in war and in peace AT
the time this platform was constructed
the country WAS suffering al most un-
precedented depression. Prices Of farm
products were low, hundreds of thou
sands OF workmeu were out of em
plOyment scores of factories were
silent the finances of the country
were deranged and the poor suffered
as never before in tha history of the
nation,- all of these conditions being

idle men again found employ ment al
advanced wages; the prices OF farm

principles and policies to the admin

of the principles set forth in the 1T.
Louis platform and fully justify our
endorsement of those principles.
We endorse with utmost pride and
enthusiasm the splendid auministra-

been wise, patriotic and honest, pro-
noting domestic prosperity, extend

scrupulous care and fidelity the

skill and daring have advanced our
great Repu Dlic to the front rank

More especially do we glory in the
magnificent record made by our own

boys are serving and which has been
led with such skill and dash and
daring by one who grew up in Allen
county and of whom we are all
proud. Ten thousand miles from
home they are fighting with brave
hearts and strong hands the battles
of their country, the battles OF civiliza.

the unhappy conflict in which they
are engaged, we wish to go on record
as emphatically endorsing the policy
which declares that the authority of
the United States must be established
on every foot of soil over which the
flag floats.
We endorse the administration of
Governor Stanley and his associates
