Lincoln, Neb,, Aug. 1S.-The Republican State Convention today nominated for As- sociate Justice of Supreme Court John B. Barnes of Madison County, and for re- gents of the State University, Charles s. Allen of Lancaster and w. G. Whitmore of Douglas. President Roosevelt received the heartiegt commendation and a decla- ration was made for his renomination.
 The unexpected feature of the conven- ton was the adoption by unanimous vote of a resolution declaring John L. Web ster of Omaha one of the delegates to the convention and one of the well known party leaders of the State to be the choice of Nebraska Republicans for Vice-Presi- dent in 1904. ..
 The platform begins with a declaration of congratulation on the overthrow of Bryanism in the home of its nativity and continues:
 We congratulate the State that we have made 1t manifest that there is no permanent place in American politics for a political leader who bases his claims for popular support on the failures or dis appointment of the people.
 We congratulate the State that this political revolution has been worked out without the people having been made to suffer any of that multitude of calamities so vehemently predicted by our enemies. We congratulate ourselves that the people of the State are enjoying ell the manifold blessings of general prosperity that we foretold would follow the election of our late, superb and grand American patriot President WeHam Mckinley and whose magnificent policy is now being carried into full and complete execution in a masterly way by the strong will and clear judgment oi President Theodore Roose- welt.
 The Philippines are ours as the legit- innate and crowning result of honorable holA &Anvr Ank Co arAa aV or sale, but as a part of the national do- main. made sacred to us by the American blood which has been shed to plant and to maintain the stars and stripes upon the far-off isles of the Pacific Ocean.
 Under the administrations of the Re- publican Presidents Mckinley and Roose- velt the people of those islands have re- ceived the benefit of American laws and are being educated in schools conducted by American teachers.
 We adhere to the American protective policy of the Republican party; the Re publican party recognizes that legitimate business fairly capitalized and honestly conducted has increased our industries at home and expanded our trade abroad. but the Republican party is unalterably op- posed to all combinations of capital under whatever name having for their purpose the stifling of competition Snd arbitrarily | controlling production or fixing prices" A merchant marine is favored. The closing plank of the platform reads: ''We congratulate. not only ourselves but the people at large that the administration | of our national affairs and our ncgotia- lions with foreign nations are being con- ducted by the courageous Republican | President who knows no fear. who courts no. favor, but who Sove5 peace crowned with honor and In whose charge we have feeling of perfect safety and security; | a President whom the American people now desire to honor with a second term as the chief magistrate Of Fhe greatest and grandest nation of the earth-Theo- | dore Roosevelt"
