REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

City, August %. 1901:
The Republicans of Utah, voicing
their pride and satisfaction In the
party of lincoln. of Grant, and of Nc.
Klnley, it's illustrious leaders and pa
triots, renew their fidelity to its prin-
ciples, and declare their enthusiastic
approval of its policies. These poll.
cies lifted the country from the slough
of Democratic disaster into which II
was plunged from 1898 to 1897. and
they have benfited every man, woman
and child in this great republic.
We look with heartfelt satisfaction
upon the achievements of this great
party of the patriotic people. The party
which has always insisted that every
man, rich or poor, white or black,
must be equal before the law, and
that Americans must be always the
object of it's especial care and protec-
tion both at home and abroad.
We most emphatically indorse the
platform adopted by the Republican
national convention at Chicago this
year commencing It to the voters of
this state as at once a record of illus
trious achievement, forceful presen.
tation of beneficial and undying prin-
ciples, pledge of prosperity and ad-
vancement, an assurance of the high
standing of this nation throughout the
world, and recital of enormous ben
efits to the people We gladly reaffirm
that platform and make 1t our own by
| adoption,
We support with whole-hearted en-
thusiasm the nominations made by
that convention as worthy successors
of the illustrious statesmen whom the
Republican party has hitherto put in
nomination for the great national Of
fees of this country, and we pledge
our undivided fealty to Theodore
Roosevelt and Charles W. Fairbanks,
determining to give them a majority
In next November that will be salts
faction to them and Joy to us.
We rejoice in the Unreasonable
benefits conferred upon our country
through the good management of Re
publican administrations, and we view
with especial appreciation the splen-
did measures established for the recla-
nation of the arid lands through tho
enactment of the national irrigation
law, wise and statesmanlike enact
ment which will fix high in the niche
OF fame the name of the man and pres
ident through whose efforts It was
speeded in its passage, ard by reason
OF which efforts it can justly be called
the Roosevelt irrigation law.
Repubicanism, the glory of the ma
ton that 1t saved; which has made
this country a world power; has car
rled freedom and self,respect to mil
lions of downtrodden people in the
West Indies and in the Philippines:
has made this nation respected and
deferred to as 1t never was before;
has made this republic the foremost
nation OF the world, so that in every
delicate question of international right
and usage the United States is first
consulted and its initiative sought and
gladly followed, is the pride of hui
mainly. 1t is the living force Of free
dom and OF nationality. And, good as
1t Is for the people at large. It Is
equally good for the people of Utah.
Rejoicing In the firm and admirable
establishment OF state government in
Utah by Republicans; in the wise
measures enacted for the orderly car
rying on of public affairs; in the hap
piness and prosperity of the people
under that government; I'm the thor
oughness as well as the economy OF
the state administration, free from all
taint or suspicion OF wrongdoing, we
snow 10 the people a clean balance
sheet which invites their confidence,
assures them that Republican admin
lstration Is what they want for their
future, as 1t has been so praiseworthy
and so much to their benefit in the
past. they might do worse, but can
never do better than to continue their
ufhf oh
placed, IN the party OF patriotism, the
party that does things; the party that
never shirks or lodges; the party that
always comes out in the open and
says plainly what 1t means-the grand
ola Republican party: this confidence
TO be manifested In strenuous and I'M
ceasing work for the whole of its
ticket, to the end that the Sth day OF
november next may close upon a
splendid Republican victory all along
the line.
The Republican party always Of.
Iects results; 1t has no deadlocks that
prevent 1t taking action. It recalls the
reproach to the state which came
upon 1t through the Democratic failure
10 elect a senator when there was
Democratic legislature that should
have performed that duty. It firmly
pledges its legislative nominees to the
performance of their rightful function
In this behalf in case Republican
legislature is chosen in November
next. The Republican legislators are
hereby pledged to go into caucus and
nominate a candidate, and the ma.
jority Of the votes in that caucus must
be decisive In controlling the action OF
every Republican in the legislature
for United States Senator.
We favor the establishing of a state
park covering the northwestern part
OF the Uintah reservation. and request
OF representatives in congress to use
their best endeavors to accomplish
that purpose.
