COrse his recommendation as to reci-
procity with Cuba and believe this pol
icy necessary to preserve and complete
the beneicent to the people of Cuba
and the United States. We approve
the determination of President RoOse-
welt to enforce laws, wherever violated,
without prejudice or favor. Approving
.. his purposes and assured that he has
the care of people, we look forward to
his election to the presidency in 1904
as to foreshadowed event demanded
by popular will and one that will nam
tain and promote national prosperity
and conserve every national interest.
I'VE express our approval of the
work done by the fifty seventh congress
in it's first session and our pride in the
| important part of that work borne
by the Iowa delegation. We rejoice
that firm but enlightened policy pur-
sued in the Philippines has secured
peace in the islands and that the work
of education, civilization, upbuiIding
and development is begun. We urge
that the contention over our policy in
the Philippines should now cease and
the beneflcent plans of civil govern
ment be given the cordial support of
all people.
1--WE are proud of the high standard
of good conduct maintained by the
army while executing our laws and
carrying civilization to peoples in the
far east under exacting conditions and
| givingthem assurance of our sympathy
and confidence.
eve stand by the historic policy of
the republican party in giving protec-
ton to home industries and point for
its ample vindication to the extraordi-
nary rapidity with which our national
resources have been developed and our
industrial and financial independence
secured. We favor such changes in
tariff from time to time as may become
advisable through the progress Of our
industries and their changing relations
to the commerce of the world. We en-
dorse the policy of reciprocity as the
natural complement of protection and
urge it's development as necessary TO
the realization of our highest CONNER
cial possibilities.
eve assert the sovereignty of the
people over all corporate Arrangements
as will protect individuals and So
ciety from the abuse of power which
great combinations of capital WELD.
We cordially endorse President Roose-
welt in appealing to the courts to Sc
cure regulations that will control the
great combinations of capital which
prevent competition and control the
industries of people without legal sane
ton or public approval. We favor
such amendment to the interstate
commerce act as will more fully carry
out its prohibition of determinations
in ratemaking and any modification of
the tariff schedules that may be re-
CURED to prevent their affording shell
ter to monopoly.
I'VE are earnestly opposed to all
legislation designed to accomplish the
Observation-Disclosures of citizens upon
lines OF race, color or station in life,
and condemn the measures adopted by
the democratic party in certain states
in the union to accomplish that end,
'The administration of Governor
Cummins merits our unqualified ap-
prevail. His high courage, sound dis
erection and scrupulous fidelity have
brought additional distinction to the
executive authority and his devotion to
the progressive policies of the republi-
can party inspires further confidence
in the wisdom and helpfulness of his
political leadership"
