Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, June 24.-Harmony among
Iowa republicans and support of the
national republican platform, was the
keynote Of the republican state con-
vention, as sounded here today in the
speech of the temporary chairman.
Captain William S. Hart. Mr.. Hart. in
assuming the chair, said:
"whatevsr differences. either upon
the personality of our leadership or the
policy Of our party, may at times in
flame our animosities or irritate the
placidity of our councils here at home,
Iowa has never failed in her enthu-
siastic and loyal ratification to the ma
tional platform; and 1t has been our
good fortune that in all matters of
policy wherein there has been aught,
either of uncertainty or dispute, that
platform has never failed to voice the
dominant sentiment Of the republic
ans of the state.
"And I venture no uncertain state
ment when say that turnout Iowa
there is q satisfaction and rejoicing,
that from the first reading of the ma
tional platform to those who so de-
sired 1t, and the second reading, or the
40 VUf10
wished 1t otherwise, 1t Is clear that the
maintenance of the protective idea Is
still the corner stone of republican
ism. That from the platform of our
party rings out the grand old battle
cry Of protection with all its old-fash-
toned simplicity, strength and signifi-
canoe; without one word Of qualifica-
ton to limit or mystify its meaning, or
one accent Of apology for Its utter
ance.
Revision by Republicans.
"By a republican congress the Ding
ley schedules will be scrutinized with
the presumption arising from ten
years Of the high tide OF progress and
PROSPERITY in their favor, and upon ev-!
ery article where the full measure of
necessary protection to insure to the
American laborer the highest wages In
the world, and to the American farmer
the best market In the world, does not
REQUIRE the present rate of duty, 1T will
be lowered to that extent regardless Of
what protest may come from any spe-
cial interest land in the same spirit
and 9Th the same promptitude if it
should appear that the present sched-
{~ Sfnp(a instance
give to our citizens distinct advan-
tage over the citizen of every other
nation, the duty upon that article must
be raised accordingly.
Iowa Idea Prevails.

for the rainy day Of sickness and mis-
fortune, and when the duty goes be-
yond such limitations, and only then, 1t
should be stricken off without question
as a burden for which there is no right
full beneficiary.
Money Crisis Met.
"The financial troubles OF last year
disclosed certain inadequacies Of our
currency system, resulting from it's
lack Of adoption to the sudden and vio-.
lent expansions and contractions of
our commercial activity, incident to
present day conditions, and with COM
menda,ae promptitude, tempered by
conservative wisdom, and against the
opposition OF avowed democrats and
democrats parading themselves as re-
publicans, republican congress met
the emergency and promises further leg
islation safeguarding the future against
the inconvenience and annoyance then
experienced.
sceld Storage" Republicans.
'tBy optimistic democrats and cold
storage republicans, the old time ardor
Of republican loyalty is denied and
doubted; but walt until the turmoil
Of the campaign, when the sunshine OF
our ccmplacency is beclouded by the
simeon Of eloquent discomfort, rolling
from the SI0TIn center dI1OuS IlS SclfO
hills of the Platte, and our political
optics are irritated by the dust Of
vicious agitation, and our civic gar
ments are besmirched by the mire OF
Misrepresentation; and the old time
political watch fires are lighted once
more in the little schoolhouses by the
wayside, then listen to the thunder of
the trampling host of republicanism
coming In Pentecostal triumph of one
hundred thousand majority for Taft
and Sherman.
No Party Deserters.

sension in or desertion from the ranks
