ENDORSED.
California Republicans Will Stand
by Roosevelt

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 2S.-The Re-
publican State convention has adopted
platform deplorlng the death Of
President William Mckinley. The ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt is
endorsed and he is especially thanked
for his support Of measures peculiarly
beneficial to the interests of the Pa
cific coast, sucr as the reclamation Of
arid lands, the exclusion of Chinese,
and the Isthmian canal legislation.
The convention endorsed the firm
but enlightened policy pursued in the
Philippines, which has secured peace
in the islands and urges that "conten-
tion over our policy in the Philippines
should now cease and the beneficent
plans of the civil government be given
the united and cordial support Of all
the people," The convention recon-
mends that liberal pension provisions
be made for the soldiers and widows
of the late Civil war and of the war
with Spain.
All conspiracies and combines to re-
strict business, to create monopolies,
to limit production, or to control prices,
are condemned, and such legislation as
will effectually restrain and prevent
all such abuses, protect and promote
competition and secure the rights of
producers, laborers and all who are
enga ged In industry and commerce are
favored. The efforts of President
Roosevelt to enforce the laws against
illegal combinations in restraint of
trade are approved.
The platform favors legislation
which will SO regulate the process of
injunction as to prevent it's evercise

Miss Gilkey playfully ,~ dropped
her hand by the side of the boat. dab.

proved Its undoing. ar
The fish weighed full three pounds
and furnished delightful fry for the
party.
