Inc tdTlU planK was WTltten Dy Wv
President Fairbanks. The planks con-
demning child labor and indorsing
President Roosevelt were written by
Senator BcVeridge.
Several other planks we're written by
Senator Hemenway. The more in'por
tant planks of the platform as read ana
adopted are as follows: :.
we unreservedly and enthusiastic
ally indorse the administration of The
odore Roosevelt. Upon his initiative
and under his guidance the Panama ca
nal has been begun and is rapidly being
driven TO completion. Upon his recon-
mendAtion congress has passed many
laws which secure many rights for the
people, and insure that honesty in bust
ness upon which, alone, permanent
prosperity is builded.
president Roosevelt's fearless ard
impartial enforcement of law regard
less of the wealth and power of the law
breaker has secured not only greater
observance of law, and respect for law
than ever before, but also has quickened
the moral sense of the nation.
Campaign Contributions
"The Republican party notes with
pleasure the growing determination TO
extermnate political corruption, from
whatever source the same originates,
and to the end that the party may re-
spond to that sentiment We oppose the
contribution to political parties for
campaign purposes by corporations OF
the state or nation, or by officers or
persons on behalf of such corporations.
1--WE favor such modification of our
financial system as will supply the
growing needs of industry and COM
merce, with a sufficient currency to
minimize periodic money stringencies,
but such currency must always pc so
safeguarded that there shall be no
doubt of its prompt redemption IN gold.
I'VE also favor such regulations re-
specting banking as will secure ana
maintain confidence in the integrity OF
our banking instructions.
I'VE approve the laws enacted for
the proper regulation OF railroads and
other combinations of capital.
"-The last convention of the Republi-
can Marty in the state of Indiana de-
clared in favor of revision of the tarifr
whenever such revision would do more
good than harm. Protection was never
a matter of schedule and while reaffirn :
ing the time honored doctrine that
there shall always be discrimination in
duties that will fully protect the Waga
Garner in the United States we have
never desired q higher rate than would
accomplish that purpose and always
contemplated revision from time to
time as the ever changing conditions
might make wise.
Revision Now Needed
1--WE believe revision would now be
beneficial, and to minimize the harm
full disturbance that tariff changes
necessarily produce we insist that re-
vision be speedily done.

extra session early in November, 1908,
.. c,,o6 rouicinn and To recon-
mend that congress take immediate
steps to secure the proper data by ex-
perts for intelligent revision as advo-
Gated by our senators and representa-
tives from this state; but we also IN
sist that in such revision the protective
principles shall be maintained and that
maximum rates shall be imposed SO
that our export trade can amply De
protected and foreign determinations
against us be prevented.
I'VE favor the extension of the United
States mail service upon the surround
ing seas in the interest of the pubic
business and the establishment and ex-
tension of foreign trade, especially with
South America.
Favor Arbitration
eve favor the settlement of all in
ternational differences by arbitration
and also favor arbitration In the settle
ment of disputes between capital and
labor.
1--WE favor a system progressive and
liberal for the improvement OF our
canals. rivers and harbors and an ade-
ouate annual appropriation therefor is
hereby recommended.

tension of the reclamation service py
which the arid lands of the United
