Platform Of Colorado Republicans.
THE Republican party of Colorado,
in convention assembled, renews its
allegiance to the national organization,
and heartily indorses its platform and
its candidates, Taft and Sherman. y
In William H. Taft the Republican
party has presented to the American
people candidate for President who
is statesman, tried In the hard school
of experience, who has succesBfulIy
discharged the gravest responsibility In
the high offices he has honored under
Presidents Harrison, Mckinley and
Roosevelt. a4
I'VE commend Senator Guggenheim
for his efficient and faithful services
In behalf of the people of our state;
and commend and indorse the public
services of Congressman Bonynge,
Haggott and Cook, who have also la
bored diligently and successfully for
the states best interests in our ma
tional law-making body. 8 9
we pledge our representatives in
the national congress to continue to
support the Republican doctrine of pro,
lection to American industries, sup
porting such revisions as are proposed
by our national platform. The Re-
blican party is pledged to and will pro.
tect the beet sugar and other indus
tries Of this state as against the at
tacks of the Democratic free traders,
who will continue to declare that a
protective tariff is robbery. and who
would place sugar upon the free list.
We endorse the administration OF
Governor Buchtel and his official asso-
ciates. They have given the people a
clean, business-like administration and
have performed their duties with cour.
age, fidelity and conspicuous ability.
Among the most important officers
to be elected at the coming election
are the justices of the Supreme Court.
To the enforcement OF the law by this
court we owe 1t that for four years
past law and order have prevailed in
Colorado; to that court 1t is due that
honest elections are now possible in
Denver. In all cases that have come
before 1t, it has maintained an unex-
celled reputation for probity,' learning
and ability. We condemn the out
rageous and unwarranted attack upon
this court by the Democratic platform,
which should be resented by all citi-
zens, irrespective of party.
I'VE appeal with confidence to the
people of this state to maintain the
present exalted standard of our high.
est tribunal by voting for and electing
the Republican candidates for mem
bers Of the Supreme Court.
The Democratic party, while in con-
troll of, the state did nothing toward i'm
proving the public services. On the
contrary, incompetence, extravaganza,
scandal and vi J;,l
