THE PLATFORM.

We reaf6rm Our belief in the
principles of the Republican party,
as declared by the National con-
vention held in St. Louis in 1896.
We endorse the administration of
President Mckinley and pledge
him the support of the Republican
party of Idaho for reelection as
President. We point with pride to
the magnificent record he has made
as the standard-bearer of our party.
By his conservative, yet firm course
in the management of public affairs,
he has advanced our country to the
foremost place among nations. Con-
fronted as he has been by a series
of unexpected responsibilities, he
has met every emergency both in
war and in peace, to Our National
advantage. His craftsmanship, his
courage, his regard for the Consti-
tuition, his open recognition and
discharge of his duty to all of our
citizens, irrespective of party, COM
mend him as model among Presi-
dents.
Through the skill and ga11antry
of our sailors and the valor of Our
soldiers, the war with Spain has
left us with a number of Dependent
cies that are now under the shelter
ing care of the Nation. Our flag
once raised over the islands gave to
the inhabitants therein our solemn
promise that all the civilizing in
huences and the benefits of strong
government, ola liberty-loving peo-
pie should be theirs. The Repub-
llcan party accepts the responsible
ity for their care and control and it
will discharge this trust as it has
all others that in times past have
been placed in its hands for admin
istration, bearing in mind always
the duty that it owes to the people
who have thus been brought within
our protection and our own citizens
in proper adjustment of the sew
eral relations they bear to the gen
eral government.
True to the principles of the Re
publican faith and recognizing the
duty and care of a government
founded thereon to all its people
both rich and poor alike, and not
to any favored class; we denounce
trusts as the most dangerous prod
uct of aggregated capital and we
recommend the early adoption OF
such cooperation of National and
State legislation as will destroy
their power for harm.
We are proud of the heroic and
patriotic record made by our brave
and gallant Idaho volunteers in the
late war with Spain and against
the insurgent forces in the Philip
pine islands. We pledge the faith
of the Republican party to a lust
appreciation of the services of our
soldiers who have fought the battles
OF Our country in every war, and
