Under Conoitions.
Special TO Iimes-Republicai.
Des Moines, March 1S.-The follow
ing is the report of the committee on
resolutions:
Resolved, by the republicans of the
state of Iowa, in convention assembled,
that the record of our party during
more than fifty years; of unexampled
national history is the large asset of
the republican party and the pride OF
all republicans; that we earnestly de-
sire the continued supremacy and eX-
panding influence of this great organ
ization, and we hereby renew our eN-
preston of pride in the recent record
of the party in administration and
legislation. We have faith to believe
that the republican party under the
guidance of the people, will meet the
just public requirements in the fu-
ture as in the past.
1--WE declare unequNocally for pro-
lection as a cafdinal principle of the
republican party. and We re-affirm our
unalterabe purpose to MAINTAIN 1t.
Events have confirmed the wisdom OF
the makers of the national platform OF
1904, wherein the party pledged a re
adjustment of rates OF duty only When
conditions SO change that the pupllc
interests demand their alteration IN
accordance with this declaration OF
four years ago the republican party
of Iowa endorses the declaration OF
the Ohio republican platform of this
year in behalf of revision of the tar
iff by a special session of the next
congress, insuring the maintenance of
the true principle of protecting by inn
posing such customs duties as will
equal the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad, to-
gether with a reasonable profit. to the
end that without excessive duties, Am
erican manufacturers, farmers, pro-
ducers and wage earners may have
adequate protection.
Resolved, That we will favor the
nomination of William H. Taft by the
republican national convention to as
semble on the 10th of June. We have
confidence in his ability, his indepen-
dent manhood, his comprehension of
large and vital public questions, his
uncompromising integrity and his un-
faltering courage. We believe him to
be the choice of the republicans of this
state. who have never failed TO en-
dorse the official record of President
Roosevelt. Therefore, we unequivoc-
ally instruct our delegates large to
vote for William II. Taft, and we ear
nestly request them and our district
delegates to use their united influence
in support of the Taft candidacy.
Resolved, That we favor the reten-
ton of Senator William B. Allison in
his place, and that we do this because
he has brought great distinction to the
state; because he has served the
whole party and the whole country
with singular fidelity and ability; be-
cause of his present commanding po-
sition in the senate and in the coun-
ellis of the nation; and because he has
strength in all situations and all emer-
gencies He is recognized as the mas
ter legislative architect of his time.
The nation, almost without regard to
party, admonishes the people of Iowa
of it's interest in this great states
man. Therefore, we stand for his re-
election, the continuance of his wise
counsel, and the retention of his serv-
ices to the country at large"
