The Platform.
The republicans of Massachusetts, in
convention assembled, give their cordial
Endorsement to the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt. An able, honest fear
less chief executive, we pledge to him our
loyal support for the campaign Of 1904.
We reaffrn our belief in the policy Of
protection to American Industries. While
admitting that tariff schedules should be
revised from time to time to meet chan
ging industrial conditions or to secure the
benefits which may be obtained by reci-
procity, we declare that the present tariff
law should not be revised or changed until
the need of such action and the benefits
to be obtained from it are clearly shown.
Whenever Industrial conditions shall re-
quire a readjustment Of the tariff, the
work will be undertaken by the srepub-
lican party, the. friend and defender of
protection, without unnecessary disturb
ance to business or commerce and with
fairness and justice to all American in
terests.
Oppose Mob Rule.
To uphold law and order should be the
first duty of every American citizen In
ulduy SGCLlOIS VI lIlS COuHJIy CilSle Is d
disregard of law which Is bringing dis
credit to the nation. All parties should
insist that public officials should be firm
and resolute in the enforcement Of law,
regardless Of personal or political con-
sequences In this land, dedicated to lib
erty and freedom, the rule of the mob
should be suppressed.

that is just and fair to all interests; that

of capital and promotes and safeguards
