The platform, in part, follows:
I'VE, Nebraska republican delegates
in convention assembled, declare anew
our faith in the principles enunciated
in the last national platform. We con-
graduate the party upon it's harmoni-
Gus condition, that is a guaranty of
| its continued control in state and ma
ton. Its record of great achievement
is its pledge of future service.
We have abiding confidence in our
great president. His virile American
ism appeals to our admiration. His
ideals of civic duty are an inspiration.
his eXaction from public officials of
strict compliance with law and honor
commands our highest respect His
punishment of public delinquents has
our unqualified approval. His fearless
enforcement of the statutes against -
legal combinations IN restraint OF
trade and commerce without unneces-
, sary alarm to capital has demonstrat-
ed the efficiency of republican law and
the honest purpose of the republican
party.
I'VE declare our belief in a protec-
tive tariff, fundamental party doc
trine that has largely contributed to
the nations growth and greatness. We
adhere to the principle, and we refuse
to become frightened at the schedules
Of law the practical application of
which, during the past seven years
has brought to the country such mar
Vicious development and phenomenal
prosperity.
THE efficacy Of gold standard es
tablished by the party is proved by
the unquestioned soundness of all our
currency and its sufficient abundance
to meet all the demands of a vastly
increased trade.
I'VE commend congress, and espe
cially the Nebraska members who rem
. uered such valuable service, for the
irrigation for the reclamation of {
large area in this state of fertile bu
unwatered soil, and for the better set
Element of vast section by means o
more liberal homestead privileges.
In the language of President Roose
welt, we believe that the door of hop,
and of opportunity should be open t
every worthy and deserving American
citizen without distinction of race
color or religion.
I I'm response to a public neCessit,
{ and the party's pledge, the Legislature
} has enacted a new revenue law. |
was framed to distribute the publ
burden with exact and even justice
We pledge the party to a correction
n of such inequalities as may be dis
@ closed and To the assessment of al
y property, corporate and private. at it
;, full value according to law, so that a
0 property shall have its equal shar
e Of taxation. We favor the raisin
V only of such revenue as is needed I

government under the most rigid ecoI
omy and for gradual eXtnguishmen
of the public debt.
1. Upon this record and these prime
o pies we invite the support of person
