Work Of Last Congress.

Saratoga, N. Y.-The following
ticket was nominated by the Repub-
lican state convention on Wednesday,:
For Governor Henry L. Stimson Of

Schoeneck Of Onondaga.

peals- Irving G.. Vann OF Syracuse.
The platform as adopted indorses
the administrations of President Taft
and Governor Hughes; declares that
the Payne tariff law has been a sue
cess, and refers with approval to the
wc-k of the last congress. It pledges
the continuance of the state graft In.
quiry until all wrongdoing capable OF
exposure shall be brought to light"
The plank relating to direct primaries
is brief, but admits of no misconstruc-
ton. I'VE promise legislation which
will enact these principles into law"
is the pledge.
The tariff plank says:
1.-THE Payne tariff law reduced the
average rate of all duties II per cent.
BY increasing the duties of some lux
uries and articles not of ordinary use,
making, however, no increase on any
common food product, 1t turned ma
tional deficit into surplus. Under
It's first year of operation the value OF
imports free of duty was the greatest
in our history by $109,0O0,o00 and the
average rate of duty was less than un-
der the Wilson law. Unlike that Demo-
cratic law, its great reductions of duty
have not stopped industry or deprived
labor of any part Of its hire. 1t gives
free trade with the Philippine islands
and 1t establishes customs court.
Its maximum and minimum rates give
us for the first time equality of oppor-
tunity with other nations in our for
eign trade.
"A Republican congress Is necessary
to provide needed appropriations for
this board and to assure business and
labor that changes in rates will be
made only to equalize the difference
in cost of production and not to re-
duce rates to the free trade, or purely
revenue, basis favored by the Demo
cratic party. Advance in the cost of
living are only the local reflection OF a
tendency that Is worldwide and can
not be truthfu1ly said to be due to the
present tariff"
