az Nllt 0Ulltu SUITES, We ihiN'
never desired a higher rate than would
accomplish that purpose and always
contemplated revision from time to
time as the ever-changing conditions
might make wise. We believe that
revision would now be beneficial and to
minimize the harmful disturbance that
tariff changes necessarily produce. We
insist that revision be speedily done.
We therefore favor the calling of an
extra session early in November, 1908,
to make such revision and to recom-
mend that Congress take immediate
steps to secure the proper data by
experts for intelligent revision as adj
vocated by our senators and represent
tatives from this state; but we also in
sist that IN such revision the protec-
tive principles shall be maintained ana
that maximum and minimum rates be
imposed so that our export trade can
amply be protected and foreign dis
ordinations against us be prevented.
NAIL SERVICE.
I'VE favor the extension of the Unit
ed States mail service upon the sur
rounding seas, in the interest of the
public business and the establishment
and extension of foreign trade, especial
ly with South America; but we would
limit the Appropriation therefor to le-
Ultimate services in carrying the mails
on the ocean in the same manner as
for carrying the mails on land.
BUREAU OF MINES.
1--WE solicit the Indiana delegation
to Congress TO support the pending
proposal of establishing bureaus of
mines and mining in the interest or
preservation of human life
1--WE favor the settlement of all in
ternational differences by arbitration
and also favor arbitration in the set
Element of disputes between capital ana
labor.
eve favor n system. progressive and
liberal improvement of our canals, riV-
ers and harbors and an adequate an
nual appropriation therefor IS hereby
recommended. We favor the continu-
ance and extension of the reclamation
service of which the arid lands of the
United States are made productive.
SLAVERY OF CHILDREN.
In great sections of the country a
system of actual slavery of children
exists, revolving to the human mind.
Every power of the nation should be eN-
ercised to end IL everywhere in the re-
public. The children of the country
are it's chief wealth and it's hope and
we demand that Congress use all its
powers to end child labor throughout
the entire nation.
INDIANA'S CANDIDATE.
"we know him. Distinguished place
and high commission have revealed his
worth. His character, public service,
and ability are such as to deserve the
thoughtful consideration of the conven-
ton.
He believes in the principles of the

been Identified with its work, and has
for years borne a distinguished part
in its campaigns. He is wise in coun-
Gil. His judgment is deliberate and
sound. He possesses steadfast pur-
pose and conservative courage. His
heart is kind, his symTOathies sincere
and wise: his dignity modest, but real;
his sense of justice exact, equal ana
abiding His private life is pure; his
home life ideal; his public life unblem-

vention, and the district delegates here
tofore elected, TO present his name to
the national convention, and spare no
effort TO secure his nomination as the
Republican choice fc- the next presi-

yention, United States Senators Beyer-

pass q practical primary election law
and a law regulating the use OF pubic
franchises and the suppression of fic-
titious or watered stocks. The liquor
plank is a strong demand for local OPP
