Of the pcopl. of aii parties. conEratu'

is,ratlon Of the couniry'S AFFAIRS and
| pledge Our continued support OF his
policies.
THE Republican party notes with
| pleasure the growing determination To
| eradicate political corruption. from
| whatever source the same originates:
and to tho end that the party may re-
, spond to that sentiment we oppose the
| contribution TO political parties for
campaign purposes by corporations OF
| the state or nation. or by officers nr
| persons In behalf of such corporations.
and we hereby commend the Indiana
Republican state central committee Tor
| its refusal to accept contributions from
| corporations within or withor tho
| state.
I'VE approve the laws enacted for
the proper regulation Of the railroads
md other combinations Of capital and
we pledge the party to all additional
safeguards necessary to complete reg
ulation OF these combinations In the
| interest OF trade and commerce. and
in the interest OF the general welfare
OF the people.
"The last convention OF the Republi-
can party IN the state OF Indiana de.
clared In favor OF revision Of the tarin
whenever such revision would do more
good than harm. We believe that re-
vision would now be beneficial and to
minimize the harmful disturbance that
tariff changes necessarily produce. ws
| insist that revision be speedily done.
We therefore favor the calling of an
| extra session early In November. 1908.
| to make such revision"
