Under his administration the business of

and in strengthe ming the widespread eX-
pectation of speedy return of national
prosperity
We endorse the great administration OF
President Roosevelt and we are proud that
he is republican from New York. His
noble work has eXemplified the principles
OF equality upon which this government
was founded and has prestnted a record
OF achievements which gives to him for all
time preeminence among the benefactors
OF the nation His fearless and patriotic
treatment OF all questions involving our
foreign relations has maintained and In
creased the respect for the American flag
throughout the world.
with sound judgment and unflinching
courage he has entered upon the solution
of economic problems at home and has
earnestly labored to secure to every indi-
vidual whether rich or poor, his constitu-
tional guarantee of equality before the law
He has firmly opposed the enfranchise-
ments of those corporations which, by
evasion OF the law would destroy indi-
Vidual opportunity and has with equal
flrmness insisted upon Il square deal for
all.
Regulation of Corporations.
His policies are the republican policies
and to them We pledge our continual
loyalty and support. We believe in the
impartial enforcement of the law and the
rights of the individual. commercial, in
dustrial and political affairs. We believe
that corporations which take their right
to exist from authority of government
should be under the regulation and super
vision of the government. But we are un-
equivocally opposed to government owner
ship OF such corporations.
We believe in protection to American in
dustries. That principle must be main
tained, but we approve OF such revision Of
the tariff schedules as will prevent injus-
tice and inequalities by retaining customs
duties which shall at least equal the diff
ference between the cost OF production at
home and abroad We endorse and ap-
prove the policy OF congress in refusing to
a nfaramaal a
mend a revision that will maintain the
policy OF the republican party, as opposed
to that of the democratic party, that thu

that therefore, adequate investigation

People Respond Freely.
He has freely discussed public questions
before the people and has not hesitated TO
appeal TO them for their approval and sup
port. The response has always been in
slant and unmistakable. He has insisted
that Il is the duty OF republicans processing
allegiance to a party OF moral Ideas and
patriotic purposes TO support measures
that are for the moral betterment and
moral uplift of our people. His admins
trntion has received not only the unQuall-
fled approval OF his own party, but the
coTnmendRtion of the people of the state
without regard to political affiltation. As
investigator and rs governor he has pro-
foundly impressed the people of the entire
country.
II was natural that his party would look
TO him as one worthy to receive the highest
honor within the gift of the people. De-
termined, however, that no suspicion of
ambition should influence his administra-
