Mourn Death of Mckinley.
The platform says in part:
We cordially affirm the platform adopt-
ed by the Republican national convention
at Philadelphia in 1900 and pledge anew
our adherence to the principles therein
enunciated
We mourn the death of our great lead
er and president William Mckinley He
was an ideal citizen a statesman Of pro-
found wisdom, patriot of the most ex-
allied purpose. He was beloved beyond
all others by all the people The civilized
world shares in our sorrows His name
and services are q part Of the splendid
and enduring history Of the republic
In the death Of Gen. Benjamin Har-
r1son the nation has lost a brave soldier
and one of it's purest, wisest and most
trusted statesmen and Indiana her most
| illustrious citizen. Gen. Harrison left
to his country a rich legacy of good
deeds done. We revere his memory and
mourn his loss.
The Republicans of Indiana express
their profound sorrow upon the death of
Gov. James A. Mount
We cordially indorse the able and
patriotic administration of President
Roosevelt. We are proud Of his courage
his purity and his devotion to the inter
ests Of the entire country, and pledge
rim the earnest support Of the Republic
cans of Indiana in all his efforts to con
tlnue and advance the prosperity OF the
people at home and the glory of the re-
public abroad.
Glad to See Cuba Republic.
We are gratifed that Cuba will soon
pass to the control of her own people and
that new republic has arisen upon the
ruins of monarchy. We favor lust and
liberal reciprocal relations between the
United States and the republic of Cuba.
which by the valor of American arms
and the wisdom Of American statesman
ship is added to the family Of nations
we approve the course Of the adminis-
trauon is establishing peace and civil
government in the Philippine Islands
We oppose those who continue to resist
the authority Of the United States.
whether openly in arms in the PhiIfp-
pines, or secretly or openly in the Unit
ed States in sympathy with the fnsur-
gents. We hold to the doctrine that
american sovereignty must be respected
within the United States and all terri
tory under it's jurisdiction.
We favor the establishment of absolute
peace in the Philippines and the erection
OF civil government therein. We insist
mat the people of the islands shall be
given increased participation in the ad-
mmlstration of their domestic affairs as
TREY shall demonstrate inteUigence and
capacity for self government
Mildly Against Trusts.
we are opposed to all trust or cornbi-
nations OF capital whose purpose or ef-
fort is to restrict business or control
prices. And, we especially denounce
those whose tendency it is to increase
the cost of living and the necessaries Of
life We favor legislation to prevent such
abuses. We approve the sincere and de-
teTmined effort of President Roosevelt
to enforce the laws against illegal COM
binations in restraint of trade, and de-
mand that administrative officers, state
and national, shall enforce the laws in
the most vigorous manner so that the
legitimate competition shall not be en-
barrassed or destroyed. We adhere to
the policy Of protection. Under ii our
industries have developed and the hODes
OF labor have been increased and wages
maintained at a higher rate than would
have been otherwise possible.
we favor the extension Of our mark
cts through carefully guarded reciprocity
arrangements with other countries where
ever 1t can be done without "interrupt-
ln% our home production" While We
favor such notifications of tariff sched-
ules as from time to time are required
by changing conditions we insist that
the fundamental principle of protection.
Again IndOrse Gold Standard.
Our faith in the gold standard has been
amply justified by the wonderful strides
OF American industry and commerce
since its adoption. We are gratided that
republican diplomacy has secured the abb
rogation Of the Clayton Bulwer treaty
enabling the government to proceed with
the construction of a ship canal between
the Atlantic and Pacific aceans under the
authority of the United States and the
protection Of our flag We favor the most
stringent national and state legislation
to suppress anarchy. We approve the
enactment by congress Of Legislation
which will debar Chinese from gaining
admission TO the United States to the in
jury Of American labor; and we demand
the enforcement and undesirable fmm1-
grants whose presence menace our ctti-
zensnlp or injure our wage workers.
