Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1908-07-30
Our national platform favors the

1
establishment OF a postal savings bank
system for the convenience OF the peo-
| pie and the encouragement OF thrift.
! The protection of the depositors
| against loss by insolvent and misman-
J aged banks, and the protection OF SOL
vent and we'll managed banks against
runs and panics requires that postal
savings bank laws be accompanied by
efficient laws, state and national, pro-
viding for the insurance OF depositors
against loss. We favor the enactment
OF such laws.
| We favor comprehensive state and
county depository law which shall
yield revenue to the state aud coun-
ty.
| We commend the efforts made by
the senators and representatives from
South Dakota in the congress of the
United States to serve the state and
we endorse the administration of Gov
enor Crawford for the work done by it
| III bu6 CduSE vi tlS pSopISs
We note with pride that our great
standard bearer and his campaign
managers have proclaimed their pur-
pose TO give full publicity to all con-
tributiOns made for campaign purposes
from every source, and We heartily
endorse the law enacted by the last
| legislature of this state requiring full
publicity TO be made Of compaign ex-
penses.
We commend the efficient manage
ment of our state admins tration OF
the educational, penal and charitable
institutions OF the state and endorse
| the effort to remove from their ad-
ministration the baneful influence OF
intrigue and spoils. While favoring
the most rigid economy in the admin
istration OF all departments of the
state, we favor such appropriations for
these institutions as will enable them
to efficiently do the work for which
they have been established.
We declare ourselves In favor of
a prison law which will give the wife,
children and those dependent upon
the labor of the prisoner, part OF his
earnings while incarcerated.
Under the primary election. law
our party candidates were nominat-
ed oy direct vote on June 9th apd
we hereby declare our fealty to and
pledge our support to the candidates
thus chosen by the majority.
The principle at the foundation ol
the pr Saary election law is that every
member of political party shall have
an equal right with every other mem
Der to assist In naming the candidate
OF his party for every Office from thai
of United States senator to the small
est county office.
Under that law the majority OF the
republican voters OF this state who
participated In the primary election
ON June 9th, named full list of can
didates for state and congressional
J offices, including party candidate for
United States senator.
BY the most direct and supreme dec
laration, the majority has made these
nominations. We hereby ratify each
and every nomination thus made ant
pledge the united and loyal support o
the republican party to the election 0
each and all candidates SO named.
We approve OF the principle of th,
primary law and suggest such amend
ment only as may be necessary Il
make il more simple and effective.
, The verdict has been rendered
, Let all republicans accept it loyal!
and cheerfully. Let the ranks b.
united and let us go forward to veto
ry. All differences between us endet
when the issues were submitted at th
primary. Henceforth, let the part.
be united and present an unbrokel
front to the enemy. The record O
over half century has proven tina
the administration of the republican
, party has always been accompanied b
prosperity and progr ress, while the ex
periments of the democratic part
have brought disaster and ruin.
We have no fear but what every 10y
al republican will cheerfully accep
the decision of the majority as ren
dered by his party primary, and tina
the differences within the party will
be forgotten as we march 10 victor
against our common enemy.
Respectfully submitted,
