The Republican party recognizes that le-
gitimate business, fairly capitalized and
honestly managed, has built up our in
dustries at home and enabled us success
fully to compete with foreign countries
in the markets of the world, and the Re.
publican party, now as always, is un-
alterably opposed to all trusts and com.
binations having for their purpose the
sitting of competition, arbitrarily con.
trolling production and fixing prices.
We are in favor of the amendment tc
the federal constitution which was re-
Gently proposed by the republicans ir
congress. granting both to the states anG
congress the power to define, regulate
control and prohibit moncpolies. combin
ations, and all forms of monopoly OF
trusts which exist in the form of corpora
tions or otherwise, and We condemn the
obtrusive policy of the Democratic party
which for the time being defeated thu
submission of such amendment.
| We declare for liberal legislation for tn,
national defense. for the building up Of
| our navy. for the enlargement of our for
eign markets, for the employment o.
American workmen in all mines, forests
farms. mills. factories and shipyards.
| We hereby express all our appreciate
Of the distinguished services rendered b,
Senators Davis and Nelson, and we ar,
proud of the fact that they have reflected
credit on the state and Republican party
state we return our sincere thanks fo1
their thorough devotion to duty and theil
efficient support of the government in ev
| cry crisis.
