this emblem must be claimed every

This must be made in convention. The

make this claim, and as the secretary

that he will grant the request.

Comes Out for the Gold Standard.
The pith of the platform is in the
first paragraph after approval of the
administrations of Mckinley and
Shaw, and is as follows: I'VE commend
the action of the Iowa delegation in
congress in its support of protection, of
the Dingley tariff, of the maintenance
of the gold standard, and in its faithful
support of the administration of Pres
ident Mckinley in his policy in peace
and war We readopt the fol-
lowing declaration from the Iowa Re-
publican platform of 1898: The mo-
mentary standard of this country and
the commercial world is gold. The
permanence of this standard must be
assured by congressional legislation,
giving to it the validity and vitality of
public law. All other money must be
kept at parity with gold. Hender-
SOD. is indorsed for speaker and the
war In the Philippines is indorsed. The
following is the antitrust plank: In
dustry and commerce should be left
free to pursue their method according
to the natural laws of the world, but
when the business aggregations known
as trusts prove hurtful to the people
they must be restrained by natural
laws and il need be abolished"
