THE Republicans Of Pennsylvania,
through their chosen representatives
IN convention assembled heartily en-
dorse and commend the administra-
ton OF President TAFT which less than
sixteen months oldy is unique in its
record of accomplishments. He has.
In his own way. caIrled forward and
developed the poliqAs OF william Nc
Kinley and TheoGo54 Roosevelt, while
enforcing his own dnd those In favor
OF which the party has declared in
the national platform, sCJ
with unwearing patience and gen
tleness of manner. but with great
firmness of purpose and unyielding
determination he win, by the time the
gavel falls at the c.oee OF the present
session of congress, have succeeded
in the enactment into law OF more
important recommendations than any
other president ever secured within
30 brief q time after his Inaugural
tion.
Among this legislation may be men
toned the revision OF the tariff, the
bill for the more complete regulation
and control OF railroads; the estab-
lishment Of postal savings banks; the
creation o: bureau OF mines; the
punishment of the white slave traf-
flc the creation Of tariff board
the abolition of the immunity bath;
the establishment Of business meth
ods In various government depart
ments; legislation for the conserya-
tion OF our natural resources, the
creation OF a commerce court; pro.
vding Tor the investigation of rail-
way accidents and monthly reports OF
the same; important legislation
amending and extending the laws re-
quiring the use OF safety appliances
for common carriers; the passage
through the house of bill providing
a complete constitution for the gov
crnmcnt of Porto Rico and comforting
citizenship according to the promises
OF the party platform; and the addi-
ton Of two stars TO tho flag.
I'VE call special attention to his
prompt and effective Intervention TO
prevent the arbitrary increase OF rail-
way rates; his faithful and impartial
enforcement or the antitrust laws.
his enforcement OF the law against il.
legal denling In stocks through the
instrumen.ality of what are common
ly termed bucket shops the conyIc-
tion of the perpetrators OF the so
called sugar frauds upon the goverIi-
ment the indictment of those en-
gagged In unlawfully cornerlnS and
CRITICALLY advancing the price on cot
ton and necessary cotton goods which
enter into the expense oil the family.
I'VE cordially approve the activity
and influence OF our senators and
representatives In congress in assist
Ing to accomplish th5 legislation re-
ferred 10 and the enactment OF many
other beneficial laws
I'VE believe that the tariff bill re
Gently enacted is in accord with the
Republican policy as expressed in its
last national platform.
Since the passage OF the bill the
wages of employees In this country
have been increased more than five
hundreds of millions OF dollars per an
mum. In a few instances the tariff
OF luxuries was increased. but on
other articles the revision was down
ward. No increasing price OF the
common necessities OF life can hon
estly be attributed to the tariff. for
the duties upon them were not raised
I'VE agree with President Taft
that 1t Is the best tariff bill the Re"
publican party ever passed
