Claimed That Performance Of Noted
Horse at Wichita, Kansas. Last
October, Where He is Said to
Have Trotted Mile in Less Than
Two Minutes Was Not According
To Rules Of Association.

Chicago, May 5.-The board of ap-
peals of the American Trotting asso-
citation. at a meeting here yesterday,
refused to recognize the record of
l:59a claimed t have been made by
Cresceus OF the grounds of the Wichi-
ia fair grounds last fall. The find
ing of the association follows:
From the evidence submitted Uy
the Southern Kansas Fair association.
Wichita. Kan. and George Ketcham,
Toledo. We find that the performance
OF Cresceus on the grounds of the
Wichita Fair association at Wichita,
Kan. on the 18th of October. 1903. was
not conducted in accordance with the
rules of the Ameriman Trotting asso-
citation governing performances against
time, and that the time of 1:59$4 then
and there claimed to have been made
by said horse is neither a record nor
a bar under the said rules.
1T is therefore ordered and deter,
mined that the application to estab-

STOP KNOCKING EACH OTHER

Recently the editor Of The Repub,
lican had a long talk with q prominent
Laramie merchant in relation to the
feeling existing between the business
men OF this city. The conclusion was
reached that there was altogether too
much pickering, backbdting and gen
eral animosity. If we could all lay
aside petty jealous.es and personal
grievances n unite for the common
good of the entire city. there Is no tell
ing how much Of q beneficial nature
would be accomplished. Jones has a
zrudge against Brown. and Smith be-
lieves Green is trying to give him the
worst Of it, hence bad feeling.
In small towns such . spirit is
more apt to becoms eutant than in
larger ones, but Laramie II now large
enough for all to join hands n fling
spite and bad feeling to the winds.
What does it amount to- anyway? If

PLATFORMS PLANKS
DISCUSSION AT WHITE HOUSE
AND WHEREVER REPUBLl-
CANS ASSEMBLE.
Principal Feature Will Be the Tariff,
Which Will Declare in Strong
Terms the Adherence Of the Party
to the Principles Of Protection
Defranchisement Denounced.

Washington. May 5.-The platform
to be adopted by the republican II a
tional convention has been along the
topics discussed at the conferences
which have taken place recently at
the White house and at different
places where republicans have been
assembled. Senator Lodge has pre-
pared preliminary sketches of various
topics that he thinks should be treat
ed and has submitted them to sena-
tors and others for their approval or
suggestion as to amendment.
The principal feature of the plat
form will be the tariff plank, which
will declare in the strongest terms the
adherence of the republican party to
the principles of protection. but will
not bind the party not to revise the
tariff.
There is at present a determination
to make the platform as brief as pos
sible. This endorsement will be a
general approval of the course of the
president and the actions of the repub-
licans in congress.
The plank concerning trusts in eff
feet will declare that the laws for the
regulation Of monopolies and the re
straint of conspiracy against COM
merce were enacted by the republic
cans and that the enforcement of such
laws have been only by a republican
administration.
If anything is said about reciprocity
it will be so worded as to mean that
reciprocity shall be confined to such
articles as are not in competition with
products Of the United States.
Mention of the financial question
will be confined to mention of the gold
standard and a promise to continue
the finances of the country upon a
sound basis.
Disfranchisement Of the negroes in
southern states will be denounced.
The demand for restoration Of the
merchant marine of the country will
be renewed.
There are several other suggestions
as to planks in the platform, but the
desire to have the platform as brief
as possible may eliminate them from
consideration as unnecessary at his
time.

course injured and probably some out
side concern gets the benefit. On the
other hand, If you stand together, each
giving your neighbor a helping hand
and a kind word, all will be benefited
and the entire community will reap
the reward of goodfellowship.
Let's all get together and make up
Our minds hat the people Of Laramie
and Albany county, individually and
collectively, are the best people on
earth and worthy of kind words and
generous deeds.

Daily Republican soc . mont.
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1904-06-28

Were we voter in Wisconsin this
fall our vote would be cast for La Fol.
ictte for Governor as against any man
the railroads might nominate for the
democrats. La Follette's sin lies in
his being for the public rather than
for the corporations. The democrats
OF Wisconsin have been under corpor-
alton influence as much so as Spooner,
Cook and Payne. A victory for cor
poration ticket democratic, so called,
or republican signifies nothing for the
people.
In Iowa the railroad corporations
dictates the candidates for railroad
commissioners. The taxpayers pay
their salaries and travelling expenses,
about 81, 900 a year. The railroads
get the benefit of their services. The
republicans by $4,000 :, majority say
this is right. The office should be
abolished or else made of use to the
people as it was designed. In Iowa
the republicans have such an i'm.
mense majority that the corporations
take no interest in the democratic
candidates as they would if the par
ties were OF about equal strength. AS
it is the corporations nominate the
republican candidates and the repub-
licans cheerfully accept and elect
them.

A Center Shot.

Referring to the report that Score
tary Cortelyou is to be chairman Of
the republican national committee,
the Peoria (Ill.) Journal makes CEN
ter shot when it says: "We have al.
ways regarded Mr.. Cortelyou as being
in the line of promotion for this post
since he began the investigation OF
the beef trust under the auspices OF
his bureau by sending gentlemen to
Chicago who notified the beef barons
that he was coming and took their
word for it that there was no such
thing as beef trust, but that on the
contrary the meat men were Compel
q ing so tiercely with each other that
/ they were actually losing money.
That is the kind of man to have at
the head of the national committee
one who can give an appearance Of in.
vestigating the trusts while really
not hurting them in the least"

Plain.

Referring to the Tariff question, the
Iowa republica-n platform declares it
''unwise to legislate in manner to
provoke American industries to make
war upon each other" John A. Kas-
SOD, the well-known Iowa republican,
in letter to friend, takes issue with
the Iowa platform, and referring to
this particular sentence, asks: "Does
this mean that competition should be
discouraged and monopolistic agree
ments stimulated? / cannot believe
this, and yet, to what legislation does
1t refer?"
Mr.. Kasson has displayed consider
able courage in taking issue with his
party. He should not injure his good
reputation by pretending to he in
doubt concerning the purposes of the
republican party's tariff policy. The
republican platform means that com.
petition should be discouraged ano
that monopolistic agreements should
be stimulated; and every student Of
affairs knows that this is the republi
can party 3 purpose.
