Fight For.

ress during the present national az
ministration, under the fostering Unfit
!. ence of Republican principles; and ais
recognizing that our country's preser
( prosperity is due to Republican policies
1 as carried out by a Republican cor
gress, and a Republican administratio,
most heartily indorse the platforr
adopted at Philadelphia by the recen
Republican national convention.
2. The wise and patriotic administra
ton of President Mckinley, his grea
craftsmanship, his brilliant success Il
his home and foreign policies, and hi
fidelity to the interests of the American
people, have given him the entire con
idence and affection Of his countrymen
With his reelection and the election O
Theodore Roosevelt, that typical yount
American, whose courage in war ant
brilliant record in peace have given hin
a place in the hearts of our people, W.
may well look forward to continued ma.
tional prosperity during the next foul
years.
3. We view with horror the fact tina
a mob can be found in this country a.
was found at Victor, Colo, to attack
man who had been a gallant soldier
carried our flag to victory, was govern.
or of New York, and is now a candidate
for vice president of the United States,
simply because he made use of the right
of free speech in announcing to the peo-
pie his views on public affairs. We con-
denim such an act and characterize it as
the act Of individuals indicative of the
Democratic party, to which they per-
tain.
4. We most cordially indorse and ap-
prove the able and successful admins
tration of Governor Otero of this terri
tory; an administration not only giving
great satisfaction to our people, but one
that has brought this territory into
more favorable notice and prominence
abroad than any territorial administra-
ton the territory has ever had.
5. 1t is with a just pride that we can
point to our present judiciary, whose
freedom from the tongue Of SANDER is
the more striking by it's contrast with
the conduct Of some of the Democratic
judges of this territory during the last
Cleveland administration, who placed
upon the people a humiliation and a
shame before unknown in the history
of our territory.
s. Contrary to the predictions of Will
liam Jennings Bryan four years ago.,
the pledges and promises of the Repub-
lican party of this country have been
redeemed. The business depression
which hung I'VE this territory like a
pail under a Democratic administration
when Mr.. Mckinley was elected presi- |
dent has been removed; protection of
labor and American indus |
has given renewed confidence; |
mining, cattle raising, sheep raising, |
and, in fact, all interests and enter
prises, have been greatly benefited, and
the wealth of this territory has been
materially increased under the present
tariff and monetary policies of our ma
tional government.
Z. -Four years ago the Republican
convention of this territory expressed
tself as opposed to all financial here
sizes which called for cheap money" We
'enew that declaration, and unhesitat-
ngly indorse the financial legislation of
he last session of congress-, believing
~ such legislation u national curren-
" has been fixed upon a firm founda-
Ion, our volume of money increased, |
u national credit placed upon a
higher plane than was eve reached be-
ore, as shown by the low interest paid
IN our government bonds-the lowest
,aid by any nation on earth.
s. We are in favor of the construc-
and control Of the Nicaragua canal
" the government of the United States,
he necessity of such canal becoming
and more emphatic since our
Of new territory in the At
and Pacific L
8. We favor the conservation Of all
waters in this territory for the
and irrigation Of our arid
ands; and we favor liberal %appropria-
ions by congress for that purpose. and
he adoption Of the best means Of utiliz-
ng such waste waters.
10. We believe in retaining all terri
DRY the title of which was coded to us
Y treaty stipulations with Spain. The
overeignty Of this government over the
'hilippine islands must not be repudl- {
ted. We believe that the American
eople have the responsible duty de- (
upon them Of establishing the /
of constitutional liberty and a
table government among the peoples I
{ those islands, and would consider 1t 6
cowardly act to abandon them to their
fate Gas proposed by the Demo- :
ratio party, unaccustomed, as they I
re. to a civil government. H.
II. We condemn the inconsistent at T
Jude Of the Democratic party, that, G
lille clamoring for an immediate in 8
e%pehdent government for the Filipinos, G
as disfranchised hundreds Of thou Z
Of voters in u own country. t
II. We believe the representation in i
from every state in the Union u
lould be apportioned in accordance .
18th the number Of persons having the
ght Of suffrage under the laws and !.
Of such state. i,
10. The Republican party Of this ma =
on has, by its splendid record, shown i
self to be a friend of the oppressed. \
