approval and appreciation Of this great
policy of reclamation at the ballot box.
We recognize the active and efficient
work Of the reclamation department. Of
the present national republican admin
istration and we call the attention of the
people of the state of Idaho to the fact
that the largest single appropriation
ever made for public purpose west of
the Missouri river was made BY the
Roosevelt administration for the recia-
nation Of the arid lands within this
state.
We favor such liberal laws, rules and
regulations governing sthe right to The
use of the public domain for pasturage
as will result in a harmonious ADJUST
rnent of such rights between the own
ers of differnt classes of stock grazing
thereon, and that such resources should
be handled only in the interest of pre-
serving the permanent value Of such
lands to those who should hereafter
make their homes thereon. and we re-
co3nize the wisdom of the existing two
mile limit law relative to the use of the
public land for such purposes as declar-
ed in our last platform. And we re-
affirm the declarations of our last plat
form upon questions involving the
rights Of capital and labor.
We fully indorse and commend the
course of our republican representa-
tives in congress, Senator W. I'll. Hey
burn and Congressman Burton L.
French, aud we extend the thanks of
the republican party to them for their
efficient services to the citizens of the
state of Idaho, and point with priae to
to their records while serving their con-
stiuency at the national capital
We believe in the enactment and en-
forcement Of such laws as will absolute
ly prevent the existence within our
state or any other state of such combina-
tions Of capital or such business combi-
nations as are calculated to or do result
in The prevention or discouragement of
fair competition in business, and w. be-

lines or any enterprise representing the
public utilities OF life should be prohib-
tied by the enactment and enforcement
OF laws adequate TO that end, and we
commend the energetic enforcement of
the existing laws by the national admin
lstartlon against trusts and illegal COM
binations.
We believe that all interest earned by
state and county monies, while carried
In the balances in the state or county
treasures, belongs to the state and
counues and we recommend the passage
of a law which will secure to the state
and the several counties all such inter-
est.

Democratic State Platform.

The democrats at Lewiston, after
pledging their assistance to Parker
and Davis, on state issues has the
following in their platform:
I'VE favor the enactment by our leg
islature of primary election law
whereby candidates for office shall he
nominated by direct vote of the peo-
pie and we pledge our legislative candi-
dates to work for the passage Of such
law.
I'VE favor submitting to the people
of Idaho constitutional amendment
enlarging the powers of the state board
OF land commissioners by providing ad-
ditional opportunities for the invest
ment of the state funds
I'VE insist that the contracts hereto
fore made by the state for the sale of
its timber shall not be modified or ex-
! tended and that the owners of such
timber shall pay thereon their just pro-
portion Of taxes
I'VE are opposed to subsidies and
bounties in any and all forms, and con
denim the action of the Republican leg
islature IN enacting what is known as
the beet sugar bounty law We be-
lieve all such legislation to be wrong
and against the principles of our institu-
tions and the constitutionality of said
law should be contested in The supreme
court.
We are unalterahly opposed to the
principle of public officials riding upon
passes and pledge the enactment Of
such legislation as will prohibit it. n.

Republican State Platform.


The republican state platform, af
ter pledglng the party Of Idaho to
tho natioual platform and nominees.
Oh state issues says:
We heartily commend and indorse
the present Republican administration
of the affairs of the state Of Idaho for
the honesty, ability, fairness and con-
scientiousness with which the duties of
the several Offices of the state have been
performed and we unhesitatingly com
mend such performance of duty by our
present administration sd guarantee of
the patriotism, ability, honesty and wis
dom Of the Republican party'to perform
the high trust and duties of the state
government.
We pledge the people Of the state of
Idaho upon our record that whosoever
may be nominated and elected by the
Republican party to perform the duties
Of the state government will administer
such government upon the highest plane
Of integrity and ability, maintaining
the rights Of the people individually and
collectively in the enjoyment and pre-
servation of their property.
We are in favor of the preservation
of the forests of Idaho, whether by
means of forest reserves or by such other
means as may be found expedient
against spoliation and waste, for the
purpose OF conserving the water supply
necessary and useful for the irrigation
of those arid lands within our state,
where irrigation is needed
We are opposed to the withdrawal
of any lands within the state form set
Element except such temporary with
drawal as may be necessary pending the
organization and equipment of irriga-
tion reserves and we are opposed to the
creation Of any forest reserves within
that section of our state wherein the
rainfall is~sufficient to avoid the necces-
sity of any general system Of irrigation.
We believe that every acre of land
within our state except such reserva-
tions neces ary for irrigation as berein-
before described should be open to sell
ection and settlement by the home
maker under the homestead and desert
acts. and to purchase under the stone
and timber act, and that il these laws

the people against fraud, that they
should be amended to accomplish such
purpose of protection, but never repeal

tions to the inconvenience or detriment

When there is added to the many
