The Republican party OF the state

/ FOR the first time since the death OF
/ President Mckinley, owes as its first
! duty an expression Of profound sorrow
at his untimely end. His exalted
] character, revealed both in his public

the platform says:
The greatest national issue is the
maintenance of prosperity. The pledge
given by William Mckinley of abun-
dant work and good wages, based on
the passage of a protective tariff bill
has been fulfilled. The integrity OF
the protective principle must be pre-
served. The principle Is required C
maintain the highest scale OF Ameri-
can wages and the supremacy Of the
American workshop.
Trust Question.

enterprises which have for their objecl
the extension of trade and the up
building of our state. we condemn al
combinations and monopolies in what
eyer form having for their purpose tbs
destruction of competition in legiti-
mate enterprises, the limitation of pro-
duction ia any field of labor, or th'
Increase OF cost 10 the consumer of th'
necessaries OF life, and we pledge tn,
party 20 the support OF such legisia
ton as will suppress and prevent th'
Organization of such Illegal combina
tons"
The declaration concludes:
I'VE believe that the devotion o
those who took part IN the great strug
giles OF our country should be fully rec
oglized and we promise our support &
such amendment TO existing laws. &C
; cordlng them recognition. as ma,
be deemed necessary in the furtheranc'
OF this declaration"
