dent Taft. senator Bcveridge y record
in congress was also enthusiastically
endorsed. No mention was made of the
Payno.A Aldrich law which Mr.. Beveridge
voted against in the senate. The plat.
form is as follows:
We, the Republicans of Indiana, de.
clare our determined support of those
great policies for the common good de.
vclopod under Theodore Roosevelt and
bearing his name, and we demand that
they be given effect in legislation and
administration.
We believe in protective tariff,
measured by the difference between the
cost of production here aud abroad.
Less than this is unjust to American
laborers; more is unjust to American
consumers. That difference should be
asccrtained with the utmost speed and
the present law modified accordingly.
We demand the immediate Great ion
OF genuine, permanent, non.partisan
tiri: commission with ample powers
and definite duties fixed in the law
iteslf.
We believe, with President Mex in.
ley, in his last tariff utterances, that
the period of exclusiveness is past, "
and we heartily favor the republican
policy of reciprocity first announced by
Blaine and later advocated by McKin.
Icy.
We demand comprehensive laws for
the conservation of our natural re.
sources and especially that the coal
deposits of Alaska shall be kept the
property of the nation, to be developed
only under lease and payment of just
royalties to tho government.
In time of war or any other emerg.
ency, when ordinary forms of taxation
are not enough for the needs of the gov.
ernment, the nation should have the
constitutional power to tax incomes.
We heartily favor an amendment to the
constitution giving congress this power.
We favor such limitation of the
powers of injunction as will not i'm.
peril the liberty of any man without
notice and hearing,
We favor national legislation which
will end child slavery in the factories
mines aud sweatshops throughout the
land.
We favor just and liberal pensions
to all deserving soldiers and to the
widows aud orphans of those who are
dead
We demand the enactment of laws
providing for publicity AS TO campaign
contributions in both state and nation.

We demand that the senators of the
United States shall be elected by the

Good roads mark the progress of civil.
ilation. Present legislation is wholly
inadequate to their proper maintenance
and extension. The farmer pays an un.
just share Of the expense. Therefore,
we favor state and county aid aud an
effective highway commission.
We favor revision of our civil and
criminal codes, to the end that techni.
calitics and unnecessary formalities of
pleadings and practice may Ne elimina'

of litigation reduced to a minimum.
We recognize that no president in our
history ever hogan his administra
with such universal favor and good will
as did William II. Taft; few men have
entered the presidency with such extra.
ordinary training
We endorse his administration and
pledge him our support in any efforts
to secure the enactment of genuine pro.

The spirit of the times demands not
