administrations:
'The Republican party OF Colorado
in convention assembled hereby rear
| firms its allegiance to the national or
ganization and its adherence to the
| principles OF the national party as
| promulgated in its successive plat
forms.
I'VE heartily indorse the patriotic
and fearless administration of Presi-
| dent Theodore Roosevelt. We re-
| joice with all other Republicans that
the chief OF our party enjoys unlim-
| tied confidence Of the American peo-
| pie. and that his brilliant and effective
| statesmanship has won the admiration
and respect Of the whole civilized
| world
| We commend the Republicans Of the |
National Congress for the unprece-
dented amount of wise and wholesome
| legislation accomplished at the last
session. 1t made record for con-
| struct1ye legislation unsurpassed by
any former session OF the American
| Congress. Among the laws passed by
this Congress which will stand as
monuments to the progressiveness and
| effectiveness of Republican statesman
| ship are those authorizing the Panama
canal, railway regulation, meat inspec
| tion, consular reform, joint statehood
| immigration. pure food, free alcohol
| for use in the arts, and employers liza
biiity.
1--WE commend most heartily our
three representatives in Congress-
Franklin E. Brooks, Robert w. Bon
ynge and II. M. Hogg-for the part
they took in enacting these reforms,
and the party hereby commends them
for their splendid service to the state
and nation.
"a constitution OF the present phe-
nomenal prosperity of our country de-
pends upon the protective tariff and
the general confidence inspired by the
continuation of the sound policy and
principles of the Republican party in
national legislation. AS a practical IL
lustration of the benefits of the pro-
tective system we point with profound
satisfaction to the enormous develop
ment of the beet sugar industry in this
state.
Uphold the Hands Of the President.
"To enable the President to carry |
out effectively the various measures
which he has inaugurated 1t Is neces-
sary that the present Republican or
ganization in Congress be maintained.
The President has so declared in most |
emphatic terms in his open letter to
Representative Watson, and we call
upon all citizens who believe in Roose-
welt to aid in returning three Repub-
lican representatives to the national
Congress, and in selecting Legisla-
ture which will return United States
| Senator, and we demand that the nom
| inees of the various Republican sena-
| torial and representative conventions
| throughout the state participate in and
hty Rppnb1ipan legislative
| caucus and vote for the nominee OF
such Republican legislative caucus for
| United States senator.
I'VE believe that organized labor and
| organized capital are essential to our
| Industrial growth and are productive
| of much good when they operate
within the law and with just regard
| for the rights of others. Both labor
| and capital nrust depend for the pro-
lection OF their interests and the Sc
| curing of their desires upon the fair
ness of their conduct and the merit OF
| their cause. We pledge our party to
| the principles here stated as rule of
| party conduct within and without the
| legislative body.
Efficiency Commended.
1--WE commend heartily the admins
tration of Governor Mcdonald and his
Republican colleagues in office. Eff
cheney and economy have marked the
work of every department of the state
government and have made it a strik-
ing contrast to the ineiIiciency and ex-
travagance and actual criminality pre-
vailirg in the last three Democratic
administrations The laws have been
enforced with vigor and effectiveness.
the revenue of the state has been col
lected and savings have been effected,
which together make 1t possible to pay
off the deficiency of the Thomas Dem
ocratic administration of 1899 and
1900 and place the state in better
financial condition than ever before
DETERMINATION of Anarchy.
"Tae numerous assassinations. as
saults invasions of personal and prop
erty rights, and the general reign of
terror which prevailed in our mining
regions three years ago were the direct
outgrowth of Socialistic and anarch-
istic sentiment fostered and encour-
aged by the present supreme dictator,
and other leaders of the Democratic
party in this state for the purpose OF
influencing the labor vote. The condi-
tions then existing called for the exer-
else of the most drastic governmental
| powers for the defense of our institu-
tions and the restoration of law and
order. Such powers were exercised by
Republican administration under the
natural and constitutional rights Of
necessary self-defense, which belongs
to governments as well as to individ-
uals. Time has fully demonstrated the
wisdom of the policy pursued. The
determination of anarchy and the re-
storation of law and order have been
followed by two years of profound in
dustrial peace. during which period
the people of the state have enjoyed
unexaiopled prosperity in every de-
partment of industry. :
