indianapolis, April 24.-The Repub-
rcans of Indiana at their convention
in this city to-day nominated a state
ticket headed by Daniel E. Storms
for Secretary of State. A number of
the nominations We're made by accla-
nation. The principal contest, and the
one upon which the most interest CEN
tered, was the nomination for attor-
ney general. Charles w. Miller was
generally credited with being protege
of Senator Beveridge and he comes
from Goshen. at which place Judge
Baker, who was recently appointed to
the federal bench at the instance of
Senator Beveridge, also resides. Mil
ler's opponents tried hard to make this
tell against him, saying that Goshen
had received as much patronage as it
could expect. Miller was nominated
On the third ballot.
The platform indorses the admins
tration of President Roosevelt; favors
lust and liberal reciprocal relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba APP
proves the course of the administra-
ton in establishing peace and civil
government in the Philippines, favorS
the establishment of absolute peace in
the Philippines and the erection of
civil government therein; and insists
that the people of the islands shall be
given increased participation in the
administration of their domestic af-
fairs as they shall demonstrate intel
lgence and capacity for self-govern-
ment.
On trusts the platform says:
We are opposed to all trusts or
combinations of capital whose purpose
or effort is to restrict business or con-
troll prices. And, we especially de-
nounce those whose tendency is to in
crease the cost of living and the neces-
saries of life. We favor legislation to
prevent such abuses. We approve the
dent Roosevelt to enforce the laws
against illegal combinations in re-
straint of trade, and demand that adj
ministrative officers, state and nat
ional shall enforce the laws in the
most vigorous manner so that the le-
Ultimate competition shall not be en-
barrassed or destroyed.
I'VE 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.
I'VE favor the extension of our mar
kets through carefully guarded reci-
procity arrangements with other coun-
tries wherever it can be done without
'interrupting our home production
While we favor such notifications of
tariff schedules as, from time to time
are required by changing conditions,
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"
The Chinese exclusion law and anti
anarchist legislation are Endorsed.
Qualification is expressed over the alb
rogation of the Clayton-Bulw treaty,
enabling the government to proceed
with the construction of an isthmian
canal.
Hot Fight on Currency.
There was a hot fight over the in
sertion of the clause in the platform
indorsing the gold standard. 1t had
been decided to advocate a plank, in
which some members of the commit
tee thought they could detect an APP
prevail of bank asset currency. 1t was
stricken out after a lengthy debate
and the plank found in the platform
was adopted.
