CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. /
3.-We heartily end orse the course OF
our congressional delegation, the Hon.
Reed Smoot, the Hon. George Suther-
land, and the Hon. Joseph Howell, and
we invite attention to the splendid rec
ord they have made in the present Con-
gress in securing the enactment Of
laws beneficial to Utah, and promotive
of the material interests of our people,
a record not equaled by any preceding
delegation. We especially approve of
the effective and generous support they
at all times gave to the reform poll
cies and measures of President Roose-
Welt
Ave unhesitatingly express our ap-
prevail of the declaration of great prin-
ciples made in the platform adopted
by the national Republican convention
at Chicago, June is, 1908. The history
of the Republican party during every
year of its existence attests the preg-
nant fact that it has the courage of
its convictions and the honesty to keep
the promises which it makes. Our peo-
pie may, therefore, rest assured that
Republican supremacy in the nation
will mean the continuance of govern
mental policies (which make for JUS
tice. equality and fair dealing among
men," and for national prosperity,
5.-We again declare for the time
honored political doctrine OF protection
of home industries and American labor
If a revision Of the protective tariff
is to be made we demand that it be
done by those who are friendly to
American interests and not by those
who would strike down the wool, lead, .
livestock and other industries vital to
/ the prosperity OF Utah.
We remind the people of Utah that
when the Democratic party last had
the opportunity 1t placed wool upon the
free list and sacrificed this great in
dustry OF our state for the benefit OF
foreign competitors.

the honest and able administration Of
the affairs of our commonwealth during

publican state officials during
