The platform as adopted by the con-
vention, is as follows:
We, your committee on resolutions
reports as follows:
Section 1. The republican praty in
delegate convention assembled, again
presents it's declaration of principles
to the people of the state, and conf
IDENTIFY asks their support thereof
Mindful alike of it's success and it's
responsibilities, it takes the people
into it's councils, confidene of a re-
newal of that allegiance so many
times bestowed in this state and in
this nation on it's political ideas and
policies, as distinguished from it's
leading opponent, which is one of de-
struction and negation. Our political
organization has been the vanguard
of American progress, and the people
have always known the position of its
lions and issues which confront them.
The Chicago convention of 1908 an
nounced those principles, convictions
and purposes in language so clear
that none can misunderstood. The
platform defines the rations, and the
republican party of all the great ques-
tons which confront our people at
this time. We reiterate and affirm
those purposes and declarations, and
the republican party of Idaho joins
with the republican party of the ma
ton on these issues thus presented.
We unite with the whole world in
congratulating civilization in the
many advances made for popular gov
eminent by our illustrious president,
Theodore Roosevelt. He has given the
masses of the people renewed hope
in our form of government; he has
shown them, as no president never did
since the immortal Lincoln that 1.-THE
people do rule" He has awakened
the public conscience and given a new
definition to the word honesty" Be-
cause of the force of his character and
the energy of the man, every public
official from the highest to the lowest
in the land, sees new duty before
him. Because of the example he has
set, public office involves such a SER
vice to the people as was never con-
templated before. He has given us
such a record of official life as meets
the universal approval not only of our
party, but of all parties and of all peo-
pie. We have right to be proud of
his administration, and to ask the ap-
| prevail by the people of the political
organization he has SO highly honored.
Section 8. We join with the repub-

publican party, and the endorsement
OF the state administration, was en-
dorsed in bulk; then came the local
option plank, which provoked some
opposition from Perkins of Blaine All
the old timers remember Perkins, who
was "A member of the second .ession.
The local option plank did not
SUIT MIN, but the plank was ordered
put in the platform. There was no
further opposition to the report I'M
til that part of the platform was
reached where direct primary law
was demanded. This plank is one
which Senator Hepburn has always
opposed with as much opposition as
he has opposed the election of United
States senators by direct vote Of the
people. The defeat of this plank by
the convention was largely owing to
the remarks made the previous day by
the senator. The result of the vote
was 100 for the plank and 1863 against.
The remainder of the report was ad-
opted and the convention adjourned
to meet at p. m.

Wednesday Morning.

The delegates came slowly into the
convention and it was 1870 before
the chairman called the convention
to order. Many of the delegates had
tired look; some had a very pro-
nounced anxious look in their coun-
tenances; many of them had not slept
during the night, for slate" had
been arranged and needed only few
finishing touches to complete the job.
Up to noon French's friends would
not believe that it was possible for
him to be defeated and they only re-
allied 1t when it was too late for
them to save the day. Immediately
after the convention was called to or
der the committee on resolutions
presented their report. Edgar Wilson,
as chairman of the committee, read
the report and moved its adoption.
One of the members moved that it be
read and adopted section by section.
This motion prevailed. The hot air

HOW REPUBLICANS REGARD HIM.

The Kansas;City Star lisa Republi-
can paper of independent procli vities.
It supports the Chicago ticket, but at
the same time it admits that Mr.. Bry-
an has grown stronger-that she has
gained respect among Republicans in
fair treatment of President Roosevelt"
1t goes on to say: "Mr. Bryan has
done more to hold up President
Roosevelt's hands than many promi-
mont Republicans have done. He gave
the President his approval, while Can
non, Aldrich, Payne, Dalzell and other
men of that stamp were trying to dis
credit and obstruct the Roosevelt adj
ministration. In other words, the Re-
publican r~eactionaries gave Mr.. Bryan
an opportunity, and he was smart
enough to accept it,"
To those who think that "Theodore
Roosevelt is. the one man who can
sa q this country from becoming a
plutocracy,' and tos those who are
ready to vote for aschange of admins
tration, the attitude of Mr.. Bryan to-
wards the so-called Roosevelt policies
will prove enticing. The Star frankly
admits as much, and the1 Star puts
into print what a host of voters are
thinAing, especially those voters who
think Taft lacks force and will power
and that he is preparing to become the
obligee of special interests of all sorts
that desire to exploit t~hescountry in
private monopolies. Mr.. Taft is about
to accept and use millions of their
money, and it is idle to say that thai
money will be without influence in
case he is elected.
