 Country Is Prosperous.
 We find abundant cause for re- joicing in. conditions prevailing. Tho country as a whole Is unceasingly prosperous and our State Is experiencing the climax of nroteetion and prosperity. We are rightly proud of the history of our party which for so many years has determined the policies and directed the administration If our ruh'ic affairs
 eve commend the inspiring charac- ter important achievements and un- daunted leadership of Theodore Roose- welt It is with exceeding pride that we contemplate the confidence reposed in him by the people of our country and the admiration which he commands from the whole world.
 We rejoice in the prominence and influence of Iowa's representatives in the cabinet and In Congress. They have discharged the duties of the pub lie station with honor and high credit to themselves. the State and the na- ton. and deserve the esteem and affec- tion of the people whom they have so faithfully served.
 "The courageous leadership and Cummins. merits our unqualified ap- proval and we appreciate the honor conferred upon our party by him and other State officials who have given exceptional service to our people. In all the departments of state the high~ est degree of efficiency has prevailed
 The Republican party has always stood for the enlarged participation of the individual voter in public affairs.

Duties on foreign imports should not be levied for revenue only. but should be 50 adjusted as to promote our do- mestic> interest. enlarge our foreign markets. secure remunerative prices for the products of our factories and farms and maintain a superior scale of wages and standard of living for American labor,
 swise and unseInsh tarin laws main- tained in the interest of the general welfare ednally opposed to foreign control ana domestic monopoly are es- sential to our commercial and indus trial prosperity We believe that all inequalities in the tariff schedules which inevitably arise from changing industrial and commercial conditions should be adjusted from time to time; and condeinnlng without reserve all assaults upon the protective system. we favor such reasonable and timely changes as will keep the tariff in har- mony with our industrial and commer- cial progress.
