REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
The republican party of Wisconsin
through it's representatives assembled
in accordance with the provisions Of
the primary election law, affrms its
adherence to the prir ciples set forth
in the republican state platforms Of
1902 and 1904
We heartily endorse the administra-
ton of President Roose Jelt-
We adhere to the republican doc
trine of protection to American labor,
/ but believe in the readjustment of
tariff schedules in all cases where pro
| lection IS employed for the benefit of
capital to the injury of the consumer
and the working man.
We endorse and approve the past
administration of Governor Robert NJ.
| La Toilette as conspicuously progress
sive, honest, and economic, and point
/ with pride to his advocacy of a faith
full compliance with party promises
made to the people u WtscohSin in
the past. And we specifically Fcfotout,
among the important measures Sc
| cured during his administration, the
/ laws affecting primary elections, the
| state railway commission, and equit-
| able method of railway taxation, the
! law prohibiting improper legislative
| lobbying, and other laws of great value
to the people of Wisconsin. We ap-
| prove the work recently done in con-
| gress to secure similar legislation,
| and we urge upon our senators and
| representatives in congress to join in
united effort in support Of such leg
islation as will insure in national az
| fairs the same reforms as have been
| enacted into laws in Wisconsin, and
| heretofore and now recommended by
| the platforms of the republican party
| in this state.
We endorse the administration OF
Governor James O. Davidson and his
''-of state He has never faltered in
his adherence to the principles OF
the party as expressed in its plat.
forms of recent years, and continu-
alton of his administration assures a
continuation of the reforms so au-
spiciously begun.
We pledge ourselves to the enact
Ijlent of a law providing for the reg
uiation of rates of service of all pub
lie service corporations, similar to
that now exercised over railroads.
The same reasons exist for control
ling the rates of water, electric light,
gas, telephone, telegraph. and street
railway companies, and other public
service corporations as for control
ling transportation rates. Legislation
should be enacted making it the duty
of the railroad commission to ascer-
tain the value of the property 81 all
such corporations.
We pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of a law providing for the regI-
lation of the issue of stocks an1
bonds of all public-service corpora
tons, giving to the Wisconsin Rail
road Commission supervisory control
over the same. and by appropriate
provisions preventing the issue OF
any such stocks and onds, except
for actual value.
We favor the enactment of laws fc9
the regulation of the business of life
Insurance, which shall provide for
The fullest protection to the funds Of
such companies; the protection o.
the interests of Wisconsin policy-hold
ers in $4,000, 10000 Of surplus belong
ing to them; fair and ineligible
form Of contract; the making of mu
tual companies mutual in fact as well
as in name; publicity in all Of their
affairs, aud an accounting and II.
revoct bic appJrtionment OF dividends.
