That is The Ticket Which Will
Lead The Republican Party to
Victory in November.

We commend the part taken by our
government in the peace conference at
The Hague.
We assert our steadfast adherence to
the policy announced in the Monroe
doctrine.
The provisions Of The Hague conven-
ton were wisely regarded when Presi-
dent Mckinley rendered his friendly Of
fees in the interests of peace between
Great Britain and the South African
republics. While the American govern
ment must continue tie policy pre-
scribed by Washington, affirmed by ev-
cry succeeding president, and imposed
upon us b. The Hague treaty. of nom
intervention in European controversies,
the American people earnestly hope
that way may soon be found, honor
able alike to both contending parties, to
terminate the strife between them.
In accepting by the treaty Of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president and
the senate have won the undoubted
approval of the American people. No
other course was possible than to de-
stroy Spain's sovereignty throughout
the West Indies and in the Philippine
islands. That our course created re-
sponsibility before the world, and with
the unorganized population whom our
intervention had freed from Spain to
provide for the maintenance of law and
order, and for the establishment of good
government and for the performance of
international obligations, our authority
could not be less than our responsible
ity, and wherever sovereign rights were
extended it became the high duty Of
the government to maintain it's author
ity, to put down armed insurrection and
to confer the blessings of liberty and
civilization upon the rescued people.
The largest measure of self-govern-
ment consistent with their welfare and
law.
To Cuba. independence and self-gov-
ernment We're assured in the same voice
by which the war was declared, and to
the letter this pledge shall be per-
formed.
The Republican party, upon its his
tory and upon this declaration of it's
principles and policies, confidently in
vokes the consideration and the ap-
proving judgment of the American peo-
pie"
