REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM
Resolutions Adopted at Casper By the Republican
State Convention---Stand on Party Record.

Following are the resolutions which were unanimously
adopted by the Republicans of Wyoming in convention assem-
bled at Casper August 29th and Both:
We, the Republicans of the state of Wyoming, in conven-
ton assembled, view with qualification the unparalleled pros
perity which prevails among our people in every part of our
great republic, and we recall with pride that progress and pros
perity have always existed under laws passed by the Repubi-
can party and administered by Republican administrations.
We challenge attention to the record of our party in recent
national legislation; in the maintenance OF a protective tariff;
in Legislation for the proper regulation OF the rates and prac-
tees of railways and to ensure the welfare of railway employees;
in the enactment of legislation for pure foods, and for the bet
ter regulation of immigration and naturalization.
We view with satisfaction the exalted character, high cour-
age and splendid craftsmanship OIL our chief executive, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and endorse the fearless and impartial enforce
ment under his splendid administration of the laws against
unlawful combinations in restraint of trade against the grant
ing of rebates and special favors by common carriers and
against all who have transgressed the laws of the nation in
any way.
We most heartily endorse and commend our delegation in
congress, Hon. f. E. Warren, Hon. G. d. Clark and Hon. F.
w. Mondell, for the splendid work they have performed and
the highly satisfactory results they have obtained in the inter
est of the nation and for the benefit of the people of Wyoming,
and, recognizing the eminent services of Senator Warren in
behalf of the state of Wyoming and the greater work yet to be
accomplished, we endorse him for reelection at the hands of
the people through the next Legislature.
We favor the continuation of the Republican policy of the
disposition of the public lands to the people under the land
laws, and we are opposed to the withdrawal of public lands for
entry except for purposes in harmony with. the existing land
laws. Forest reserves should be confined to the areas clearly
necessary for forest culture and preservation and for water
conservation. We believe no special or unusual burdens
should be laid upon the people using the products of such re-
serves or upon intended settlers upon the public domain.
We unquaiiedly endorse and approve the honest, intell-
gent and economical administration of Governor Brooks and
express our sincere appreciation of the wise and faithful ser
vice of all our state officers. They have given us an admins
tration of state affairs of which the people of Wyoming may
feel justly proud.
We heartily endorse and favor the enactment by the next
Wyoming Legislature of a depository law, along the lines of the
constitutional provision, to the end that the state moneys will
be amply protected and the taxpayers receive the benefit of the
interest accruing from said funds.
We favor the passage of a just re-apportionment law by
the forthcoming Legislature, giving each county in Wyoming a
fair and proper representation in the senate and house of repre-
sentatives, according to the census of 1905.
We pledge 10 the excellent state ticket nominated bv this
convention our earnest support.
