The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-08-01

it's ample vindication to the extraor.
dinary rapidity with which our ma
tional resources have been developed
and our industrial and financial indie
pendence secured. We favor such
changes in the tariff from time to
time as become advisable through the
progress Of our Industries and chang
ing relations to the commerce of the
world. We endorse the policy of reel
procity as the natural complement OF
protection, and urge it's development
as necessary to the realization of our
highest commercial possibilities.
That We assert the sovereignty of
the people over all corporations and
asgregations of capital and the right
residing in the people to enforce such
regulations, restrictions or prohi-
bitions upon corporate management as
will protect the individual and society
from abuse of the power which great
combinations of capital WELD. We cor
daily endorse the position of Presl-
dent Roosevelt in appealing to the
courts to secure regulations that will
control great combinations of capital
that prevent competition and control
the industries Of the people without
legal sanction or public approval We
favor such amendment of the inter
state commerce act as will moye FULLY
carry out it's prohibition OF discrimi-
nations in rate making, and any modi
of or;f
may be required to prevent their af-
fording shelter to monopoly.
That we are earnestly opposed to
all legislation designed to accomplish
the disfranchisement of citizens upon
lines OF race, color or station in life,
and condemn the measures adopted
by the Democratic party in certain
states of the Union to accomplish that
end.
The administration of Governor A.
b. Cummins merits our unqualified
approval. His high courage, sound
discretion and scrupulous fidelity have
brought additional distinction to exec
utive authority, and his devotion to
the progressive policies OF the Repnb-
in the wisdom ara setrfc,roee - h,-

The new state central committee
organized by re~electing Robert H.

Cousins Not Pleased.
The pl2tform adopted receives the
cordial endorsement of Senator's ALI
son and Dolliver and Governor Cum
Minis. but some members of the con.
gressional delegation are not so we'll
pleased. The only congressman who
was outspoken was r. G. Cousins of
the Fifth district. After the resolu-
tions were read lie walked to the rear
of the convention hall and said:
THAT platform will put Iowa con-
gressmen to explaining their votes"
Later in the Savery hotel he said:
"The platform is wrong. 1t does not
represent Iowa or Republican senti.
ment."
Governor Cummins said: "The work
of the convention is superb. regard
the platform as the best that could be
written. 1t speaks plainly and cour-
ageously upon every question OF which
a Republican platform should treat
and the Republicans of Iowa need
have no fear of proclaiming it to the
world. And the enthusiasm with
which it was received and adopted Is
matter of great satisfaction to me,
as 1t must be to Republicans every
where. The ticket is a good one-so
strong that it insures the full party
support"
Senator Dolliver said: The work
OF the convention it seems to me will
