It's chairman. State Senator Horace
| Whlte, of Syrac cuse, took the platform
amid silence that indicated sup
+, pressed excitement and read the
platform endorsing Governor Hughes
and commencing the state and feder-
al administrations. The selection of
/ the four delegates at large and their
alternates was quickly ratified by an
unanimous vote of the convention
The platform as adopted says
The republican party Of the state
Of New York at the beginning Of a
national campaign declares its con
| tinued allegiance to those principles
of government which have given hon /
or to the national convention and |
prosperity to its citizens during the !
years it has been entrusted with the !
control of the government
AT this time when the welfare of |
the people so greatly depends upon .
the conduct Of our government, a !
clear assurance Of republican recov- |
cry In the nation and the state this
autumn would exert a powerful in
fiuence in restoring public confidence .
and in strengthening the widespread /
expectation of speedy return Of ma
tiOnal prosperity.
I'VE endorse the great admnistra-
tion Of President Roosevelt ana we
are proud that he is republican
from New York. His noble work has
eXempltied the principles of equality
upon which this government was
founded and has presented a record
of achievements which give to him
for all time prominence among the
benefactors of the nation. His fear
less and patriotic treatment Of all
questions involving our foreign rela-
tiOns has maintained and increase the
respect of the American flag through
out the world.
with sound judgment and un
finching courage he has entered upon
the solution of economic problems at
cure to every individual, whether rich
or poor, his constitutional guarantee
of equality before the law He has
firmly opposed the encroachments of |
those corporations which, by evasion,
would destroy individual opportunity
and has, with equal iirmness, insist
ed unon a square deal for all.
IS policies are the republican
policies and to them we pledge our !
continued loyalty and support, We |
believe in the impartial enforcement |
of the law and the rights of the in {
lividual in commercial industrial and /
political affairs. We believe that cor
porations who take their right to eS-
st from authority Of government {
should be under the regulation and '
supervision of the government But
we are uneQuivocally opposed to gov !
arnment ownership of such corpora b
ions.
I'VE believe in protection to Amer I
can Industries That prin 'iple must
De maintained, but we approve of
such revision of the tariff schedules ,
rs will prevent injustice and Unequal ;
ties by retaining customs duties
which shall at least equal the differ
lnCe between the cost of production y
It home and abroad. We endorse and
approve the policy of congress in re- ~
using to revise the tariff by piece d
neal. we recommend Il ItNIAluu INA
viii maintain the policy of the repub-
lean party, as opposed to that of the p
Iemocratic party; that the tariff W
hould not be for revenue only, but G.
lrst Of all for the protectio nof the u
