and honest man who now occupies the
curities and the beef trust under the

tions of Democratic statesmen 20 con-
vince the American people that the
fight thus instituted is not battle to
death.

every means in its power to reach this
great evil, and where notifications of

sort thereto"

become civilized and capable of indie
pendent self-government and then de-
sire ii, I, for one, would be in favor Of

fit for independence, they viii be as
unwilling to surrender their relations
to the United States as Iowa would
be-"

caucuses, held this morning, the COM

residing in the people to enforce such
regulations, restrictions or prohibitions
upon corporate anagement as will
protect the individual and protect So
ciety from the abuse of the power
which great combinations of capital
will yield.

Platform Adopted.
Resolved. BY the Republicans of

prosperity that pervades every part
of the country. stimulating every in
oustry in the highest degree of activ-
ity. creating an unprecedented demand
for labor and rapidly advancing the
United states to a more commanding

The condition of the country today
and its progress during the last five
years is a complete answer to the the
cries and predictions of those who
opposed Republican policies at that
time and affords conclusive argument
in favor OF a continuance of the pol
icies and the administration under
which manifest benefits have been
found.
