IN" Platform was as follows.
Since the Republican party came in :
to power. March 4. 1897. it has:
Written the gold standard into the
statutes of the country.

has given unprecedented prosperity 10
the people.

mcnt.

S''ourae Of disease.

cnce recognition in Europe of the Mon
roe doctrine.
Preserved the open door in China and
prevented the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that

which prevented our exclusive control

Il nf h
liz service.
Reduced the national debt and the
interest thereon and paid the expen-
dturrs 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
persistent opposition of the Den:ocra &c
party. It's recital requires neither ar
Eument nor rhetoric to support it.
To-day. the Democratic party dares
not and does not directly challenge any
one of these accomplished facts. It's
guage of battle is indefinite and insin-
rere 1t asks public confidence solely !
on the ground that it is no longer in
sane.
ino1. with every pledge made to the
people in 1886 and 1900 redeemed, the
Republican party confidently appeals
to the people for a vote of approval. /
1t presents as its candidate for Pres :
dent. Theodore Roosevelt. who is in
accord with his party on all questions
before the country. and who has been
a leader Of his party in it's magnificent
record.
It's candidate for Vice President, /
Charles w. Fairbanks. is equipped by
age, training and experience for the
succession in event Of the necessity.
IN state matters. the Republican
party of New Hampshire points to an
equally proud record Of accomplish
nent.
1t has avoided no questions of public
interest.
It has met every public demand.
If has largely reduced state taxes.
IT steadily reduces the public debt. III
