Their Platform Sets Forth the Achieve
ments of the Republican Party.
The New Hampshire Republicans in

! platform:
| Since the Republican party came into
power it has:
Written the gold standard into the
| statutes of the country.
| Passed Il protective tariff law which
has given unprecedented prosperity to
( the people.
Annexed the Hawaiian islands.
| Fought successful war with Spain.

ment.

Pacified the Fillpinos and given them
civil government.

! scourge of disease.

ence recognition in Europe of the Mon

Preserved the open door in China
and prevented the dismembermentO OF
! that empire.

| Provided for the construction of the
/ Panama canal

| Reduced and reorganized the army.
! Enforced the antitrust laws.
i Advanced the standard Of the public
service.
| Reduced the national debt and the
interest thereon and paid the expendi-
lures of the government out OF the
revenue.
| This is the record of the Republican
| party for the period of less than eight
years, accomplished in spite OF the per-
sistent opposition of the Democratic
party. Its recital requires neither argu-
ment nor rhetoric to support 1t.
Today the Democratic party dares
not aud does not directly challenge any
one of these accomplished facts. Its
guage of battle is indefinite and inSin-
cere. 1t asks public confidence solely
on the ground that it is no longer in
| sane.
With such a record as is here out
lined, with every pledge made to the
people in 1896 and 1900 redeemed, the
Republican party confidently appeals to
the people for a vote of approval.
1t presents as its candidate for Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt, who is in &C
cord with his party on all questions be-
fore the country, and who has been a
leader of his party i'll its magnificent
record.
Its candidate for vice president, Chas.
W. Fairbanks, is equipped by age,
training and experience for the success
sion i'll event of that necessity.
In state matters, the Republican par
ty of New Hampshire points to an
equally proud record of accomplish
ment.
1t has avoided no questions of pub
lie interest
| 1t has met every public demand.
1t has largely reduced state taxes.
| 1t steadily reduces the puDlic debt.
1t faithfully and efficiently enforces
the laws.
,i<1 L.
estly and faithfully administer the
public needs and the desire of the peo-
pie for economical expenditure.
The earnest of the future policy of
the Republican party in both state and
nation is its past performance
