MoNG the salient points in the nlatform

AMONG the salient points in the platform
adopted by the New Jersey Republican
State convention were these:
1--WE declare it to be the duty of the Re-
publican party to vindicate 1.-THE rights of
the colored man. We cordially indorse
the course of our senators and representa-
tives in Congress and we note with pride
the growing influence of New Jersey in
the councils of the nation.
eve welcome to utilization with the Re-
publican party those Democrats who real
ize that their party has abandoned it's
principles of the past and accepted in
place thereof the wild and baleful theories
of Populistic and communistic visionaries
They contributed greatly to the victory
won for honest government and sound
money four years ago, and are still true
to their convictions. We hold them en-
titled to the best privileges of member
ship in our party.
s'Wise craftsmanship must seek to afford
equal opportunities for prosperity to all,
and restrain the excessive exercise of such
opportunities by any. Vigilance and
publicity, dealing with each emergency as
it arises, are the best means of establish
ing and maintaining a wise industrial
policy, and we declare it to be the duty of
our legislators, and all who are charged
with the administration of our laws, to do
their utmost to protect the masses of the
people FROM the tendencies toward mono
poly on the one hand and communism on
the other"
