Lincoln. May 3-The above was the
ticket placed in nomination in the re-
publican state convention held here yes
terday. With the exception of attorney
general and land commissioner, all the
nominations Were made by reclamation.
The contest over delegates at large, the
principal interest of which was in the
fight made on United States Senator
Thurston, caused intense excitement
while the roll was being called. But
when the result of the balloting showing
both the senator and Editor Rosewater,
who headed the i-Thurston move
ment, had been elected, was read, the
convention gave itself up to the widest
of cheering.
I The convention assembled at 2:3O and
shortly after o'clock completed Its
business and adjourned sine die.
Following Is the platform adopted:
We. the republicans of Nebraska, are
unlike our political adversaries, vino, in
the late conventions held high carnival
over the Imaginary evils threatening our
country, and adopted platforms which
are a standing protest against prosper
ity. grandeur and glory. We rejoice
that we are citizens of mighty nation,
whose revenues are larger than at any
previous period Of its history: whose
treasury Iis Overlooking with gold;
whose agricultural industries flourish as
never before; whose laborers are more
generally and continually employed at
profitable wages; whose financial policy
commands the confidence Of the people
at home and stimulates our trade with
1.-The nations abroad; whose products
from the farm and the mill from the
lsworkshop and the factory. are a noun
ttain of wealth; whose commerce in it's
|.stupendous strides has outdistanced all.
competitors. whose achievements in
peace and glorious victories in war are
without parallel-all these are living
evidences that arc fulfilling the destiny
for which II was created and that demo
cratic protests can not stay Its career.
These and other equally meritorious.
considerations have endeared our hearts
tosour nations worthy leader, William
4 Nc IStnley, Il president who has wisely
dealt with new and untried questions,
who has guided the ship of state With
safety and security thru unexplored
Echannels and troubled waters OF agitat-
led seas. and in each hour of danger.

manship that we unhesitatingly endorse
his magnificent administration and
pledge ourselves to secure to him the
vote at Nebraska at the November cleo
/ ton.
We point with pride to the remodel
ling OF our tariff laws. which has in
4 creased our revenues and not impeded
4 trade: which has opened the doors of
A the mills and factories to the millions
4 of Americas skilled mechanics and is
4 returning to them higher wages that
are just recompense for their toll.
We endorse the legislation that has
4 strengthened our financial system and
4 firmly established the gold standard
4 and made American dollars so safe and
secure that they are kept busy chasing
u one another around the endless circle
) of business, too good to be hiding and
TOO patriotic TO steal abroad. In answer
q to the cry for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver and the claim that
81 there is not gold enough as basis
Y upon which 10 do the business OF the
a country, the United States treasury
q puts in evidence 1920, 100000 In gold that
has come to it within the year and
4 s413.000, 900 in gold now held within its
vaults. and the unexampled prosperity,
II land measureless and limitless and
4 countless financial transactions thus
4 sustained without seeming effort.
4 We denounce the attempt now deg
Il perately being made to array labor and
capital in hostile camps. The republi-
can party now, as always. opposes
A trusts and combinations having for
their purpose the sitting OF competi-
ton and arbitrarily controlling pro.
ductions or fixing prices; but We also
|Srecognize that legitimate business,
fairly capitalized and honestly man
aged, has built up our industries at
home, given the largest employment Vo
labor at the highest wages and en-
abled us to successfully compete with
A foreign countries in the markets OF the
world. We confidently trust in the re-
publican party, whose legislatures and
statesmen have ever been mindful Of
the welfare of all the people, to enact
such further legislation as will protect
the masses from undue encroachment
OF capital and relieve them from all
undue oppression and corporate abuses
and the dishonest methods Of unlawful
monopolies.''
NATIONAL TICKET DOMINATED.
