Synopsis Of the Platform.
The salient features Of the platform
are pledges to maintain the gold stand
ard and the open-door policy of trade in
eastern Asia. Appropriations by con-
gress to enlarge and strengthen the navy
are favored. The Sherman law for anti
trust legislation is eulogized, and the
attitude of congress and of President
Roosevelt in enforcing prosecution of
violators of the Sherman law is COM
mended. Delegates from the SPRING
field convention to the national repub-
lican convention are instructed to con-
tribute their influence and votes to the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for
president. Similar instructions are
given delegates to the national conven-
ton to vote for Robert Hit for vice
president. The record of Gov Yates
is commended, and the statement made
that through his administration the
financial affairs of the state are in
splendid condition.
