CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT EXPRESSED

The American people were fortunate
In his successor, to whom they turned
with trust and confidence which
have been fully justified. President
Roosevelt brought TO the great respon-
sibilities thus sadly forced upon him
clear head, a brave heart, an earnest
patriotism and high ideals of public
duty and public service. True to the
principles of the Republican party and
to the policies which that party had
declared he has also shown himself
ready for every emergency and has
met new and vital questions with abil-
ity and with success.
The confidence of the people in his
Justice, inspired by his public career,
enabled him to render personally an
inestimable service to the country by
bringing about settlement of the coal
strike which threatened such disas-
trous results at the opening of winter
In 1902.
Our foreign policy under his admin
istration has not only been able, Wig
orous and dignified, but In the highest
degree successful. The complicated
questions which arose in Venezuela
were settled in such way by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the Monroe doc
trine was signally yindicated and the
cause of peace and arbitration greatly
advanced.
His prompt and vigorous action in
Panama, which we commend In the
highest terms, not only secured to us
the canal route but avoided foreign
complications which might have been
of very serious character.

PRESENT VIGOROUS FOREIGN
POLICY is COMMENDED.

We commend the vigorous efforts
made by the administration to protect
American citizens in foreign lands and
pledge ourselves 70 insist upon the
just and equal protection of all our
citizens abroad. 1t is the unquestioned
duty of the government to procure for
all our citizens, without distinction,
the rights of travel and soiourn in
friendly countries and we declare our
selves in favor of all proper efforts
tending to that end.
Our great interests and our grow
ing commerce in the Orient render the
condition Of China of high importance
to the United States. We cordially
commend the policy pursued In that
direction by the administrations of
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt.
We favor such congressional action
as shall determine whether by special
determinations the elective franchise
In any state has been unconstitution-
ally limited and If such is the case we
demand that representation in con-
gress and in the electoral colleges
shall he proportionately reduced as
directed by the Constitution of the
united sta eS.
Combinations of capital and of labor
are the results of the economic move
ment of the age, but neither must be
permitted to infringe upon the rights
or interests of the people. Such COM
binations when lawfully formed for
lawful purposes are alike entitled to
the protection of the laws, but both
are subject to the laws and neither
can be permitted to break them.
The great statesman and patriotic
American, William Mckinley, who was
reelected by the Republican party to
the presidency four years ago, was as
sassinated just at the threshold of his
second term. The entire nation
mourned his untimely death and did
that justice to his great qualities Of
mind and character which history will
confirm and repeat

CIVIL LIBERTYsFOR PEOPLE
OF THE PHILIPPINES

In the Philippines we have sup
pressed insurrection, established order
and given to life and property secur-
ity never known there before. We
have organized civil government, made
1t effective and strong in administra-
tion and have conferred upon the peo-
pie of those islands the largest civil
liberty they have ever enjoyed.
BY our possession of the Philippines
we were enabled TO take prompt and
effective action in the relief OF the
legations at Peking and a decisive part
in preventing the partition and the
preserving OF the integrity OF China.
The possession of route for an
isthmian canal, SO long the dream OF
American statesmanship, is now al
accomplished fact. The great Work o.
connecting the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans by canal is at last begun and
1t is due to the Republican party.
We have passed laws which VIII
bring the arid lands of the United
States within the area of cultivation.
We have reorganized the army and
put il in the highest state of efficiency.
We have passed laws for the i'm.
provement and support of the militia,
We have pushed forward the build
ing of the navy, the defense and the
protection of our honor and our inter
ests.
Our administration of the great de-
partments of the government has been
honest and efficient and wherever
wrongdoing has been discovered the
Republican administration has not
hesitated to probe the evil and bring
offenders to Justice without regard TO

FULL TEXT OF PLATFORM
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESO
LUTlONS AS ADOPTED BY
THE CONVENTION.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
hcan national convention follows:
Fifty years ago the Republican party
came into existence, dedicated among
other purposes to the great task OF
arresting the extension on human
slavery. In 1860 1t elected its first
president. During twenty-four of the
forty-four years which have elapsed
since the election of Lincoln the Re-
publican party has held complete con-
troll Of the government. For eighteen
more OF the forty-four years 1t has held
partial control through the possession
Of one or two branches of the govern
ment, while the Democratic party dur
Ing the same period has had complete
control for only two years. This long
tenure OF power by the Republican
party is not due to chance. Ii Is a
demonstration that the Republican
party has commanded the confidence
OF the American people for nearly two
generations to a degree never equaled
In our history and has displayed high
capacity for rule and government
which has been made even more con-
spicuous by the incapacity and In
frmity OF purpose shown by it's OPP
ponents.
The Republican party entered upon
its present period Of complete su-
premacy In 1897. We have every right
to congratulate ourselves upon the
work since then accomplished. for II
has added lustre even to the traditions
OF the party which carried the govern
ment through the storms Of civil war.
We then found the country, after
four years OF Democratic rule, in evil
plight, oppressed with misfortune and
doubtful of the future. Public credit
had been lowered, the revenues were
declining, the debt was growing, the
administration attitude toward Spain
was feeble and mortifying, the stand
ard of values was threatened and I'M
certain, labor was unemployed. bIsi-
ness was sunk In the depression which
had succeeded the panic of 1898, hope
was faint and confidence was gone.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1904-06-23
ANTITRUST LEGISLATION
AND PROTECTIVE TARIFF

Laws enacted by the Republican
party, which the Democratic party
failed to enforce and which We're in
tended for the protection of the public
against the unjust discrimination OF
the illegal encroachment OF vast ag-
gregations of capital, have been fear
lessly enforced by Republican presl-
dent and new laws ensuing reason
able publicity as to the operations OF
great corporations and providing adj
ditional remedies for the prevention
of discrimination In freight rates have
been passed by Republican congress.
In this record of achievement dur
ing the past eight years may be read
the pledges which the Republican
party has fulfilled. We propose to con-
tinue these policies and we declare our
constant adherence to the following
principles
Protection, which guards and de-
yelops our industries, Is cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference In the cost
of production at home and abroad. We
insist upon the maintenance or the
principles of protection and. there
fore, rates of duty should be readjust-
ed only when conditions have so
changed that the public interest de-
mands their alteration, but this work
cannot safely be committed TO any
other hands than those OF the Repub-
lican party. To entrust II To the Demo
cratic party is to invite disaster.
Whether, as In 1892, the Democratic
party declares the protective tariff nn-
constitutional or whether II demands
tariff reform or tariff revision its real
object Is always the destruction OF the
protective system. However specious
the name the purpose Is ever the same.
A Democratic tariff has always been
followed by business adversely; a Re-
publican tariff by business prosperity.
To a Republican congress and Re-
publican president this great question
can be safely entrusted. When the only
free trade country among the great ma
tIons agitates return to protection
The chief protective country should not
alter In maintaining II.
We have extended widely our for
Sign markets and we believe In the
adoption of all practicable methods for
heir further extension, including com
mcrcial reciprocity wherever reciprocal
arrangements can be effected consis-
tent with the principles of protection
and without injury TO American agri'
culture, American labor or any Amer
lean industry.
