Railroad and Government Employes
 "The enactment in constitutional Form at the present session of Con gress of the employers liability law, the passage and enforcement of the safety appliance statutes; as well as the additional protection secured for engineers and hremen; the reduction m the hours of labor of ,rainmen and railroad telegraphcrs; the successful exercise of the powers of mediation and arbitration between interstate rail. roads and their employees and the law making beginning in the policy of compensation for injured employees of the government, are among the most commcndable accomplishments of the present administration. But there is further work m this direction yet to be done and the Republican party pledges its continued devotion Co every cause that makes for safety and the betterment of conditions among those whose labor contributes SO much Co the progress and welfare of the country.
 Wage Farmers Generally
 "Thc same wise policy which has induced the Republican party Co main tain protection Co American labor: to establish an eigbt.honr day on the con. struetion of all public works; Co in. crease the list of employees who shall have preferred claims for wages under the bankruptcy laws; to adopt n child labor statute for the District of Col umbia; to direct an estigation into conditions of working women and children, and later, of employees of telephone and telegraph compan nies en- gagged in interstate business; 10 ap. propriate sl50,000 at the recent session | of Congress in order to secure thor. | ough inquiry into the causes of catas. trophies and loss of life in the mines, and Co amend and strengthen the law prohibiting the importation of contract labor will be pursued in every legiti. mate direction within federal autho- rity 10 tighten the burdens and increase the opportunity for happiness and ad. vanccmcnt of all wno toll. The Re. publican party recognizes the special needs of wage workers generally, for their well being means the well being of all. But moro important than all other consideration is that of good citizenship, and we especially stand for the needs of every American. what. ever his occupation, in his capacity 9s n self respecting citizen.
 Anti.Injunction Plank
 "Thc Republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, state and federal, and
 will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process and 10 protect life, liberty and property snail he preserved inviolate. We believe, how
 ever, that the rules of procedure IT the federal courts with respect. to the
 issuance of the writ of ipjuneti ol temporary restraining order, should no' be issued without notice, except where
 irreparable injury would result iron delay. in which case n speedy hesrinl
 thereafter should be granted.
 The American Farmer
 | Among those whose welfare is a'
 vital to tse welfare of the who'll |. country as that of the wage.earner, i the American farmer. The prosperl1,
 of the country rests peculiarly ueoi the prosperity of agriculture. The ke
 publican party during the last twelve
 years has accomplished extraordinar,
 work in bringing the resources of th'
 national government to the aid of th' farmer, not only in advancing agrieul ture itself, but in increasing the con
 venienSes of country life. Free rufa mail delivery has been established. l now reaches many millions of our citi xeus and we favor Its extension mt every community in the land receive / the full benefits of the postal service We recognize the social and economi advantages of good country road'
 maintained more and more largely e , public expense and less and less at th expense of abutting owners. In thi work we commend the growing practie ' of state aid. and we approve the ehort
 of the national agricultural depar' . ment by experiments and otherwise [ , make clear to the public the best mert o,ls of road construction.
 Rights of the Negro
 "The Republican party has been fc ~ 7 more than fifty years the eonsistef ., friend of the American negro. It gay him freedom and citizenship it wro' . into the organic law the declaration that proclaim his civil and politics z rights and it believes today that b :, noteworthy progress in prosperity, a ,, legiance and good citizenship h' earned the respect and sncouraaeme'
 of the nation. We demand equal Ju . ,icc for all men without regard to ra' k or color; we declare once more al } without reservation for the enforc
 ment in letter and spirit of the tbi y ,centb, fourteenth and fifteenth amen T mcnts to the constitution, wnieh we It designed for the protection and Is yancement of the negro, and we co d demn all devices that have for inc l. real aim his disfr;pchisement for re ,s sons of color alone, as unfair, un-Amf ,e ican and repugnant to the supr"m. i' 'r of the land.
