time to time, as new conditions arise.
We believe this revision should be
made by the friends of this legislation,
and not by it's enemies. We contrast
Democratic revisions of the tariff
with Republican changes. Democratic
revision has always been followed by
disaster; Republican revision by pros
perity. Idaho is essentially pro-
Queer of raw material, and comes in
competition with all the world in that
direction. We believe that raw ma
terial should have protection, as well
as the manufactured products, to the
end that the laborer who produces
both should be properly protected
against his competitor in other lands.
Section g. The constitution OF this
state declares that the first cOnsidera-
ton of all good government is the vir-
tue and sobriety of the people and
the purity of the home, and that the
legislature shall further all wise and
we'll directed efforts for the promo
| ton of temperance and morality We.
| therefore, declare in favor of an ef-
| fective county local option law, SO
that the people in every county in this
state can have the power to decide
whether or not the liquor business
shall be carried on within their re-
spective county boundaries, and we
plege the support of the Republican
party of this state to the enactment
of legislation which will bring about
that result.
Section 10. Our system of public
educational institutions consisting Of
the numerous public schools and hie
schools of the state, the Norm

Academy of Idaho, at Pocateuo, the
State Industrial School at st. An
thony, and the University OF Idaho.
composed of college Of letters and
arts, the College of Agriculture, and
the College of Engineering, located at
Moscow should be the first concern
Of the people of the state.
We therefore pledge the Republi-
can party of this state to maintain
the integrity of these state institu-
tons, as described by the acts Great
, them, and to support each of them
! in maintenance and growth as far az
| the finances of the state will allow,
! recognizing that on the growth and
development of these institutions de-
|, ponds the upbuilding of the moral and
/ intellectual welfare of the youth OF
, Idaho. And to this end we urge the
legislature to take up and pass the
! appropriation bills for all educational
; and charitable institutions as soon
after converting as possible, and be-
fore the other work of the Legislators
shall be taken up. Il
| Section II. We recognize the gU~ =
! work done by our national admin

E this state may be relieved Of the
: influences of these combinAA
5 which stifle competition and res
trade.
