We rsioioe that the firm but enlight-
ened policy pursued in the philippines
has secureG peace in the'isisuds, and
that thework of education, civilization,
up p-building and development is begun.
1--WE urge that contention ove our policy
in thelphilippines should now cease,
and the benefcient plans of the 'Uavil
government be given the united and
cordial-support of all the people.
That We stand by the historic policy
of the republican party 'in:giving pro.
teclion to home industries and POINT for
its ample vindlcation TO the extraordin.
ary rapidity with which our national
resources have been developed and cur
Industrial and inaEcial independence
secured. We favor such changes in the
tariff from time to time as become adj.
visable through the progress df our in
dustsies and their changing relations to
the commerce of the world. We indorse
the. policy of reciprocity as the natural
complement of protection, and urge its
development as necessary to the realiza-
ton Of our highest commercial possibil-
lilies.
That we assert the sovereignty of the
people over all corporations and aggre.
cations of capital and the right residing
III the people to enforce such regula-
Il | .,
corporate management as will protect
the Individual and society'from abuse of
the power which great combinations of
capital WELD. We cordially indorse the
. position of President Roosevelt lin APP
'pealing to the courts to secure regula-
tlons that will control great combina,
} tions OF capital that preve Mt competition
!. land control the industries of the people
. with out legal sanction or.public approv-

interstate commerce act as will qmore
fully carry out its prohibition Of dis.
examinations in rate. making, and any
notifications of the tariff schedules that
, may be required to prevent their afford.
ing shelter to monopoly.
J That we are earnestly opposed to all
legislation designed to accomplish the
disfranchisement of citizens upon the
lines of race, color or station in life, and
condemn the measures adopted by the
/ fdemocrat party in certain states of the
uni0nsto accomplish that end.
The Administrations Of GoyernorA. B
iCummins merits our unqualified ap
proval. His high courage, sound dis.
cretion. and scrupulous fidelity have
brought additional distinction totexecu'
tive authority, and his devotion to the
progressive policies of the republican
i.party inspires further confdence,in the
wisdom and helpfulness of ,his political
leadership.
