railroad telegraphers; the. successful
exercise of the powers of mediation
and arbitration between interstate
railroads and their employees end the
law making beginning In the policy
OF compensation for injured employees
OF the government are among the most
>commendable accomplishments OF the
present administration. But there is
further work In this direction yet to
be done and the Republican party
pledges it's continued devotion to every
cause that makes for satisfy and the
betteTment Of conditions among those
whose labor contributes 90 much to
the progress and welfare Of the coun.
try.
Court Procedure.
The Republican party win uphold at
all times the authority and integrity
OF the courts, state and federal, and
VIII ever insist that their powers to
enforce their process and to protect
life, liberty and property shall be pre-
served tnviolata We believe, how
ever, that the rules Of procedure In
the FEDERAL courts with respect to the
issuance Of the writ of Injunction
should be more accurately defined by
statute and that no Injunction, or tenn
porary restraining order, should be
issued without notice, except where
ifreparable injury would result from
delay, tn which case speedy hearing
thereafter should be granted.
The American Farmer.
Among those whose welfare Is as
vital to the welfare of the whole coun-
try as is that of the wage Garner is
the American farmer. The prosperity
OF the country rests peculiarly upon
the prosperity of agriculture The Re-
publican party during the last twelve
years has accomplished extraordinary
WORK In bringing the resources of the
national government to the aid Of the
farmer, not only In advancing agr1cul
tufe itself, but in increasing the CON
veniences Of rural life Free rural
mail delivery has been established:
1t now reaches millions of our citi-
zens and we favor its extension until
every community in the land receives
the full benefits Of the postal service.
|, We recognize the social and economic
advantages of good country roads,
maintained more and more largely at
public expense and less and less at the
expense of the AUDITING owner. In
this work we commend the growing
practice of state aid and we approve
the efforts of the national agricultural
department by experiments and other
wise to make clear to the public the
best methods of road construction.
Natural Resources.
We endorse the movement inau.
gurated by the administration for the
conservation of natural resources: we
approve all measures to prevent the
waste OF timber; we commend the
work now going on for the reclama-
ton of arid lands and reaf1rm the Re-
publican policy of the free distribu.
ton: OF the available areas of the pub.
! lie, domain to the Iandless settler. No
obligation Of the future is more insist.

blessings to posterity. In line with
