ganization and resolutions Will report and the nominations will follow
 The resolutions committee this ar ternoon after a session lasting over three hours, modified tbe plan ihools ing the administration Of GoVernor HanIey which had been agreed uPon by party leaders and submitted 10 It. The plank as adopted by the commit tee is as follows:
 "The present State administration from it's inception has stood Tor the wise enactment of laws and the rear less and honest enforcement Of laws enacted. It has been and is character | ized by jealous regard for the tax pay | ing public and for the promotion or high standards in the administratien of public affairs. The administration will long be remembered by reason or | the fidelity and sturdy integrity or Governor J. Frank Hanley, whose ad- ministration we most heartily and un- reseryedly command and indorse. The words stricken out by the com mitt eemen were Never in the history of Indiana has the law been so thor oughly vindicated or enforced ana never have the rights of all the peo- pie been so carefully protected.
 The committee also refused to indorse the house cleaning policy of the Gov eTn0T. 1HIH EcHtruCo FcAGAAVN s' e''N Governors demanding the resignation of Secretary of State Storms and Au- ditor of State David E. Sherrick. Sher- rick is now in the penitentiary.
 With this charge, the committee ac- cepted the resolution as offered by the leaders with the exception of an in- dorsement of the railroad commission. The other important blanks in the plat form as adopted which will be pre- sented to the convention tomorrow morning are as follows:
 The platform as agreed upon by leaders of the party and by the reso- lutions committee dwelt at length upon State issues, endorsed President Rooseve1t's administration, Vice-Presi- dent Fairbanks's conduct of his omce. the Indiana Senators and Representa- tives and included the following blanks: we favor the national regu- lation of railroad rates in such man. ner as to insure equality of service to all, upon Just and reasonable terms. Such regulation mus be effected so as to operate justly upon the shippers, the common carriers a.d the body of the people.
 we adhere to the time -honored Re- publican doctrine of protection. The true policy of protection is that sched- ules are to be changed when experi- ence shall suggest their change. We recognize reciprocity as the hand maiden of protection and favor such reciprocal treaties with other na- tions as will increase our foreign trade without injury to American indus try.
 We favor the enforcement of all laws enacted to protect the people against the eneroachments of combined capital. We realize that capital must combine in lawful way to successfully conduct our modern industries and commerce and we believe in protecting 1t in it's legitimate functions.
 We endorse the action of President Roosevelt In rigidly enforcing the anti trust laws placed upon the statute books of the United States by the Re- publican party.
 The material. moral and intellec- tual progress of the people of Porto Rico and the Philippines under Amer ican administration is more rapid and substantial than that ever accomplish ed by any people under similar circum- stances The work of American school teachers. of which Indiana has furnish ed far more than its quota, is already bearing fruit.
 We heartily approve of the efforts of the Republican party in the con- struction of the Panama canal. This work of world wide interest will ul-
 
 statesmanship of the Republican party.
 We approve the policy of the Repub- lican party in making liberal provision for those who have borne the heat of battle and for their widows and or phans.
 With all peace loving people the Re- publicans of Indiana rejoice in the end ing of the war between Russia and Japan, and we take especial pride in the fact that peace was secured by the courage, wisdom, tact and states manship of an American President"
 The endorsement of President Roose- velt's administration was in the fol- lowing plank:
 We approve and applaud the admin istration of President Roosevelt. From the very first it has been one of the most notable in American history during his administration and upon his initiative the department of commerce and labor has been established, the law to prevent railroad rebates enacted, legislation of the Panama canal and work on that great enterprise begun; the law for irrigation and reclama- tion of the arid West enacted and other legislation secured for the lasting benefit of the whole country. President Roosevelt in the enforcement of Jaws against the trusts has not only lessen cd law breaking, but founded the wide spread movement for law enforcement throughout the whole nation.
 president Roosevelt has earned the unprecedented popularity which re suited in his election by the greatest majority ever given an American President and the Republicans of Ind jana join with the Republicans of the whole nation in the enthusiastic en- dorsement of his administration
 A two-cont fare law for Indiana was advocated.
