istration was Identified" and continue
thus:
We declare our confidence in the
leadership of President Roosevelt and
our fealty to his administration, and
we express our qualification that two
nonOred representatives Of Iowa Re-
puDncaniSm have seats at his council
BOARD. We tndorSe his recommends
ton as to reciprocity with Cuba and
believe that this policy is necessary to
preserve and complete the beneficent
work we have done in that island, and
that 1t will be mutually beneficent to
the people of Cuba and the United
states We approve the determination
OF President Roosevelt to enforce the
laws, wherever violated, without preju-
dice or favor. Approving his purposes
and assured that he has the confidence
or the people, we look forward to his
election to the presidency in 1904 'as to
a foreShadowed event demanded by the
popular will and one that will maintain
and promote the national prosperity
and conserve every national interest.
Pride Easily Aroused.
we express our approval of the work
done by the Fifty seventh congress in
its first session and our pride in the
important part of that work borne by
the Iowa delegation. The legislation
for the reduction of taxation, for the
establishment of civil government in
the philippines, for the construction of
an lsthmian canal, for the protection
OF our dairy products, with other meas
ureS OF practical usefulness, distin-
gulSh the session. We rejoice that the
firm but enlightened policy pursued in
the Philippines has secured peace in
the Islands and that the work of edu-
cation, civilization, upbuilding and de-
velopment is begun. We urge that con-
tention over our policy in the Philip
pines should now cease and the benefi-
cent plans of the civil government be
given the united and cordial support of
all our people.
We are proud of the high standard
of good conduct maintained by mem
bers of American families doing duty
in the army while they are executing
our laws and carrying civilization to
people in the far East under exacting
conditions, and give them assurance Of
our sympathy and confidence.
I'VE stand by the historic policy of
the republican party in giving protec-
ton to home industries and point for
it's ample vindication to the extraor-
binary rapidity with which our ma
tlonal resources have been DEVELOPED
and our industrial and financial indie
pendence secured We favor such
changes in the tariff from time to time
as becomes advisable through the prog
ress of our industries and their chang
ing relations TO the commerce of the
world.
Reciprocity Endorsed.
1--WE indorse the policy of reciprocity
as the natural complement of protec-
ton and urge it's development as nee
essary to the realization of our highest
commercial possibilities
we assert the sovereignty Of the
people over all corporations and aggre-
cations of capital and the right resid-
Ing in the people to enforce such regu-
lations, restrictions or prohibitions
upon corporate management as will
protect the individual and society from
abuse of the power which great COM
binations Of capital WELD.
I'VE cordially indorse the position Of
President Roosevelt in appealing to the
courts to secure regulations that will
control great combinations of capital
that prevent competition and control
the industries to the people without
legal sanction or public approval. We
faVOr such amendment to the inter-
state commerce act as will more fully
carry out it's prohibition of discrimina-
tons in rate making and any modifica-
ton of the tariff schedules that may be
required to prevent their affording
shelter to monopoly.
we are earnestly opposed to all leg
1slat1on designed to accomplish the
Acknowledgement of citizens upon lines
or race, color or station in life, and
condemn the measures adopted by the
Democratic party in certain states in
the Union to accomplish that end
The platform closes with an indorse-
ment of the administration Of Gov.
Cummins.
