The platform, after a feeling reference
to the death of President Mckinley, says:
we believe that in President Roosevelt
our party has found a worthy leader
whose fearlessness in the discharge of
his duty, and whose devotion TO the best
interest of the whole country prove him
to be a worthy successor of his lamented
predecessor, and the Republican party Of
Idaho extends to President Roosevelt its
hearty support.
The protective tariff is endorsed with
the following supplementary declara-
tons:
THAT many of the industries Of this
country have outgrown their infancy and
the American manufacturer has entered
the markets of the world and is success
fully competing with the manufacturers
Of other countries We therefore favor
a revision of the tariff without unreason-
able delay which will place upon the
free list every article and product con
uolled by any monopoly and such other
articles and products as are beyond the
need of protection
on the trust question it says
Resolved. That the formation of enor-
nous over capitalized corporations, com
monty called trusts. for the purpose of
concentrating all Of the Industries and
products of the country in the hands of
few men. sitting competition and en-
abling them to dictate the wages of laobr
and the prices of commodities to both
the producers and the consumers in the
interest Of their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
is a great and growing evil, the plain
remedy for which should be laws regu-
lating the capitalization of corporations
within reasonable and moderate limits
We recognize the fact that under the con
sttution of the United States as it now
stands, no adequate restrictions can be
put upon the organization of such cor
poration; therefore, we favor such amend
ment to the constitution as viii enable
congress 10 ehectually regulate and sup
press all trusts and injurious combina-
tons Of aggregate capital"
The platform favors the opening of
lands in forest reservation in the state
that are more valuable for agricultural
than other purposes.
The Democratic legislature is condemn
Cd for its administration of the states
land grants for its legislative apportion-
ment; for the veto OF the beet sugar
bouny bill, for wasteful extravaganza,
etc. The railway merger is opposed.
