 The republican party of Arkansas extends it's congratulations to the whole country for the prosperity which blesses favored land to q degree without precedent in American his- tory, prosperity due to the republican ad- ministration of the government; and we hear,Ily subscribe to the maxim one of wise and practical statcsmanshp, keep on letting well enough alone"
 We reitcrate adherence to the republi- can national platform, adopted in 1900.
 We lament the untimely death of William Mckinley as ttat of the author of all our prosperity and the best beloved of all our pres idents.
 We endorse the administration of Theodore Roosevelt for its essential soundness as a re- publican administration, its sincere patriotism, its courage and conscientiousness in the dis charge of its complex duties, its grasp on the national political situation now become world wide, and its relentless purpose to do the right it the right.
 We are opposed to trusts and all combna- tions of capital to suppress competition, con- troi production, corner the necessaries of life embarrass the legitimate operation of the laws of trade. The republican party the first in the field in the battle against trusts and will be the last out. It has supplied the only effective legislation against trusts and is the only national party to prosecute them We condemn the democratic party for defeat ing the amendment to the national constitutior proposed by the republican party to enlarge government over the whole subject of trusts
 The principle of adequate protection tC American labor and industries is Fundamental with the republican party. It has made us what nation the most prosperous on the earth and a world power of the frs, class.
