Platform Of Colorado Republicans.
THE Republican party of Colorado
in convention assembled. renews its
allegiance to the national organization
and heartily indorses it's platform and
Its candidates, Taft and Sherman.
I'm William II. Taft the Republican
party has presented to the American
people a candidate for President who
il a statesman, tried in the hard school
OF experience, who has successfully
discharged the gravest responsibility In
the high offices he has honored under
Presidents Harrison. Mckinley ano
Roosevelt
nj,
for his efficient and faithful services
in behalf of the people of our state
and commend and indorse the publ.
services of Congressman Bonynei
Haggott and Cook, who have also la
bored diligently and successfully fo'
the states best interests in our ma
tional law-making body.
I'VE pledge our representatives in
the national congress to continue tC
support the Republican doctrine of pro
lection to American industries, sup
porting such revisions as are proposed
by our national platform. The Re
blican party is pledged to and will pro
tect the beet sugar and other indus
tries of this state as against the at
lacks of the Democratic free traders
who will continue to declare that {
protective tariff is robbery, and who
would place sugar upon the free list
I'VE endorse the administration OF
Governor Buchtel and his official asso
ciates. They have given the people 8
clean, business-lile administration and
have performed their duties with cour
age, fidelity and conspicuous ability.
Among the most important officers
to be elected at the coming election
are the justices of the Supreme Court
To the enforcement of the law by this
court we owe it that for four years
past law and order have prevailed III
Colorado; to that court it is due thai
honest elections are now possible il
Denver In all cases that have come
before it, it has maintained an uneX
celled reputation for probity, learning
and ability. We condemn the out
rageous and unwarranted attack upor
this court by the Democratic platform
which should be resented by all citi
zens, irrespective of party.
I'VE appeal with confidence to the
people of this state to maintain the
present exalted standard of our high
est tribunal by voting for and electins
the Republican candidates for mem
bers of the Supreme Court.
The Democratic party, while in con
troll of the state did nothing toward i'm
| proving the public services. On the
contrary, incompetence. extravaganza
scandal and downright dishonesty
were rampant in the state capitol when
they turned the government over &c
the Republican party.
"a Democratic governor had to Dor
row money to pay certain of the oper
ating expenses of the state govern
ment. The Democrats then. as now
were ficrcely attacking the corpora
tons, but they did nothing to restrict
their powers or to make effective the
supervision Of the state over such cor.
porations as may have been dealing
unjustly with the public. The Demo
cratic party has not dared to refer to
Its record In its state platform. and
particularly omits any reference to its
