n Following is the platform in full:
We enter upon the present campaign of
1900 with the policies presented by the Re
publican party four years ago fully vindi-
Gated and it's promises all redeemed. In
the light of today it is apparent that the
attempt to dahase the currency as a rem
edy for the hard times then prevailing
was u monstrous blunder, which if sue
cessful, would have involved the country
in lasting humiliation and shame and
proved disastrous to the industrial in
terests.
We insist that no issue can be para
mount to the maintenance of the pub
lie credit and the stability of the money
for which all labor and products are sold
So long as a political party stands com
monetary system we call upon,a all conser-
Natiye men to act with Us in keeping that
party from power.
We favor the extension of self govern,
ment to all the people that have lately
come under the protection of this country
.as rapidly as they demonstrate their ca
Dacity to exerdisef;t. We hold our author
Eity over them to be a solemn trust to be
exercised with an eye single to their in,
struction, development and prosperity.
We favor legislation that will effectu
ally protect the public from the Effects of
combinations in restraint of trade. For
measures to properly restrict the power of
aggregated capital, to protect the intlivid-
ual rights of Ill men and preserve free
dom of competition ard of opportunity
we rely upon the Republican party, trust
ing to that wise and safe craftsmanship
which in emergencies of the last four
years has been so satisfactorily tested
We endorse the wise and patriotic admin
istration of President Mckinley, under
which prosperity has been restored 70 the
country and the national prestige and in
fluence greatly increased. We believe that
tae vast business and industrial interests
of our people and the discharge of the new
and grave responsibilities that have CONE
to us as a nation demand continuous and
stable policies and to that end we earn
estly favor the denomination and re-elec-
ton of President Mckinley. We heartily
approve the work of the present Repub-
lican congress and congratulate the state
upon the able administration of Speaker
Henderson and recognize the high stand
ing of it's delegations in the senate and
house.
The state central committee decided
to call the next Republican convention
for the nomination of state Offices to be
held in Des Moines, Aug. 12.
