THE PLATFORM IN PART

= AAA AlAAA VAANA IN AAk1
The most important planks of the
platform adopted by the Republican
national convention are as follows:
lnjunctions. .3a l59a
.sThe Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integ-
rity Of the courts, state and federal,
and will ever insist that their powers
to enforce their process and to. pro-
tect life. liberty and property shall be
preserved inyiolate. We believe.
however, that the rule Of procedure
in the federal courts with respect to
the issuance of a writ OF injunction
should be more accurately defined by
the issuance OF a writ Of Injunction
temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice, except irrepar-
able injury would result from delay,
in which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted
Business on Sound Basis.
Nothing so clearly demonstrat
the sound basis upon which our com
mercial, industrial and agricultural
interests are founded and the neces-
sity Of promoting their continued vel
fare through the operation of Repub-
lican policies as the recent safe pas
sage Of the American people through
a financial disturbance, which, If ap
pearing in the midst Of Democratic
rule, or the menace of it, might have
.equaled the familiar Democratic pan
les of the past. We congratulate the
people upon this renewed evidence OF
American supremacy, and hail with
confidence the signs now manifest OF
complete restoration Of business
prosperity in all lines Of trade, com
msrce and manufacturing.
The Democratic Filibuster.
"Only the obstruction and filibus-
Stering Of a Democratic minority in
the last house of congress prevented
the enactment Of a number of meas
;ures Of great public benefit, the con.
sideration of which can only be en-
trusted to another Republican ma
jority. 81
But many wholesome and pro
gressive laws were enacted and we
especially commend the passage OF
the emergency currency bill. the ap.
pointment Of the national monetary
mission, the employers and govern,
ment liability laws, the measures fol
greater efficiency in the army and
navy, the widows pension bill. the
model child labor law for the Dis,
trict Of Columbia, designed for emula
tion by the states, the new statutes
for the safety OF railroad engineers
and iremen, and many acts conserv
ing the public welfare.
The Republican party declares un
quivocally for a revision OF the tar
iff by q special session Of congress I'M
mediately following the Inauguration
OF the next president, and commends
the steps already taken to this end ii
the work assigned to these appropri
ate committees Of the two houses
which ara now investigating the op

True Ideas Of Tariff.

principle of protection is best main
