i presentation of the report OF the COM
,c,ttee on resolutions, which was unan-
imously adopted.
.sThe republicans Of Indiana, In con-
yention assembled, hereby make dec
laration of the following party prin-
ciples: We cordially affirm the plat
form adopted by the republican ma
tional convention at Philadelphia In
1900 and pledge anew our adherence
to the principles therein enunciated.
.aThe party is to be congratulatec
that 1t enters the campaign united
and harmonious. We view with pleas
IRE the unprecedented measure OF
prosperity which prevails thruout the
entire country, rich fruit of republican
policies and administration, and de-
preccate every effort to overthrow the
laws and administration under which
such results have been accomplished
1--WE mourn the death of our grea,
leader and president, William Mckin-
ley. He was an ideal citizen. states
man OF profound wisdom and patriot
of most exalted purpose. He was be-
loved beyond all others by all the peo-
pie. The country under his admins
tration attained a degree of ynparal-
leled prosperity and won the highest
prestige among the nations OF the
earth The civilized world shares ou1
sorrows. His name and services are
part OF the splendid and enduring
history OF the republic.
I'm the death Of Gen. Benjamin
Harrison the nation has lost a brave
soldier and one of It's purest. wisest
and most trusted statesmen, and In
diana her most illustrious citizen. We
revere his memory and mourn his
loss.
..The republican of Indiana express
their profound sorrow upon the death
of Gov. James A. Mount. His personal
life and character, his patriotic SER
~rices as soldier in the war for. the
union, and his unselfish loyalty to his
commonwealth, makes his name one of
reverence and grateful memory.
I'VE cordially endorse the able and
patriotic administration of President
Roosevelt. Succeeding to the presidency
under tragic circumstances and pursu-
ing the policy Of his illustrious prede-
cessor, he at once won the confidence
end approval of the American people.
We are proud of his courage, purity
and devotion to the interests of the en-
tire country, and pledge him the earn
est support of republicans OF Indiana In
all his efforts to continue and advance
the prosperity of the people at home,
and the glory Of the republic abroad.
We favor just and liberal reciprocal
relations between the United States
and Cuba, which by the valor of Amer
lean arms and wisdom of American
craftsmanship is added to the family of
nations.
I'VE approve the course Of the ad-
ministration in establishing peace and
ctRil government in the Philippines
islands. We oppose those who con-
tinue to resist authority of the United
States. whether openly in arms in the
Philippines, or secretely or openly, in
the United States, in sympathy with
the insurgents. We hold to the doc
trine that American sovereignty must
be respected with the United States and
all territories under Its Jurisdiction.
We favor the establishment of abb
soiute peace In the Philippines and
erection OF civil government therein.
we insist the people of the islands
shall be given increased participation
In administration of their domestic af-
fairs as they shall demonstrate inteli-
.gence and capacity for self government.
We are opposed to all trusts or COM
binations of capital whose purpose or
effort Is to restrict business or control
prices, and we especially denounce
those whose tendency is to increase the
cost of living and necessaries of life.
We favor legislation to prevent such
abuses. We approve the sincere and
determined effort of Roosevelt to en-
force laws against Illegal combinations
IN restraint Of trade and demand that
administrative officers, state and ma
tional. shall enforce the laws in the
most vigorous manner, so that legiti-
mate competition shall not be embar-
rassed or destroyed
we adhere to the policy Of protec-
ton. Under it our industries have de-
veloped and the hopes of labor have
been increased and wages maintained
at higher rate than would have been
otherwise possible.
we favor extension of our markets
thru carefully guarded reciprocity ar
rangements with other countries wler-
ever 1t can be done without "interrupt-
ing our home production" while we ia
vor such notifications Of the tariff
schedules as from time to time are re-
quired by changing conditions, and we
Insist that such changes shall be made
in line with the fundamental principle
of protection.
Our faith in the gold standard has
been amply justified by the wonderful
strides Of American industry and COM
merce since its adoption.
I'VE are gratified that republican |
diplomacy secured the abrogation of |
the Clayton -Bulwer, treaty, enabling
the government to proceed with the
construction of the ship canal between
the Atlantic and Pacific, under author
ity Of the United States and protection
of the flag.
1--WE have now the strength Of ma
tional and state legislation to suppress
anarchy.
'ssssze approve the enactment by, con-
gress of legislation which will debar
the chinse from gaining admission tol
