| The Platform.
The platform of the republican party, as
| adopted by the resolutions committee, was
read to the convention by Ward Watson Of
| Charleston. chairman of the committee. 1t
| says:
The republican party in convention as
sembled presents with profound satisfaction
| the achievements of the nation since the
party was founded and intrusted by the
| people with the control of our government.
1t has reunited a divided country, freed
| tho slaves, established the monetary sys-
| tenn on gold basis, restored the national
credit and developed the American system
| of protection until the United States is the
| leading industrial nation of the world.
| In the cause of humanity it fought a vic
| torious war on land and sea that other
| peoples might be released from the burdens
| oe oppression.
These and other national deeds of peace
! and war under republican administrations
| have won the respect and praise of the
| world and placed our country in the first
| rank among the nations.
And now, under continuing wise and
patriotic leadership. the republican Darty
| moves forward, maintaining and extending
| its policies and its purposes, and with I'M
abated confidence again invites the sup
| port and SURFACES of the people.
Indorse Roosevelt
| We heartily and unreservedly indorse the
| wise and patriotic administration of Theo-
| dore Roosevelt. The President has met
| the tremendous responsibilities of his great
Office upon the high level of national duty
and national honor. His administration has
| been thoroughly republican and genuinely
| American. -a
1t has advanced prosperity at home and
| maintained our national interests abroad
! The laws have been feariessly and impair
TALLY enforced as they were enacted by
| Congress. Evfldoers have been driven
| from the public service.
The people demand continuance of the
| present stable and prosperous conditions
and we.therefore favor the nomination of
| Theodore Roosevelt for President and
| hereby instruct the delegates chosen for
| this convention to support his candidacy
We pledge anew our confidence in the
| wisdom and efficacy of the protective tariff.
| This great republican policy has abundant
| ly justified itself and it's maintenance is
essential to the continuance of our indus
| trial independence and national prosperity.
| 1t is demanded alike in the interest of both
| American capital and labor. We favor
| changes of schedules as conditions de-
mand, but such changes should only be
made consistently with the policy of pro-
| lection.
The Gold Standard.
The republican party has firmly estab-
| lished the gold standard against violent
| democratic opposition. Our monetary sys-
| tenn, which is the best in the world, is
| the rich fruit of republican craftsmanship.
| We have more money among the people
| than we ever had in the history of the
| republic and it is of unQuesfoned sound
ness and purchasing power.
We commend President Roosevelt for his
| faithful enforcement of the laws applicable
| to combinations of capital In restraint of
wholesome trade and commerce, which the
| democratic party when in power refused
| to-execute; and to further prevent corpor-
| ate evils we have placed on the statute
| books additional laws providing for pub
| licity, preventing rebates by railroads, and
| creating the Department of Commerce and
| Labor for the more effectual supervision
| and enforcement of the laws
| We approve the reciprocity treaty with
| the republic of Cuba.
| Our relations with the new republic
| Should always be such as are dictated by
| justice and generosity. to the end that the
| ties which bind the two peoples together In
| commerce and amity may continue close
| and unbroken.
President Approved.
| We approve the course OF President Roose-
| welt in protecting the imperiled interests or
| Americans upon the Isthmus of Panama;
| in promptly recognizing the independence
| of the people and the republic of Panama.
| and in securing treaty with that republic
under which the United States may con-
| struct an interoceanic canal in the inter-
| ests of the commerce of the world; and we
further commend the President for the
| promptness and energy with which he is
| pushing forward the work of this great
| enterprise.
| American administration in the Philip
pines has resulted in peace to the people
| honest government, equal justice to all, i'm
| provement IN material conditions and the
| spread of education. No nations work for
| civilization has surpassed that of the re-
| public in the archipelago. To that policy
| we will steadfastly adhere.
We favor the principle of arbitration in
| the adjustment of International disputes
| where they do not involve the national
honor. and we commend the administration
| of President Roosevelt for its efforts to
embody this principle in treaty compacts
! with other powers. a. SL+
| The republican party can never forget the
| heroic services of our soldiers and sailors
| upon land and sea-
We believe in just pension policy to-
| ward those who have borSe the burden and
| heat of battle, their widowA and orphans.
| Senator's Fairbanks and Beveridge are
| heartily Endorsed as1wea as the state adj
ministration. 4 on
