TRADE LOYALTY.

NO WO1Q Appeals more strongly 20
the average person than loyalty. We
all love to be- spoken of as loyal to
family, friends, country and to our
ideals. We should also include our
home city. <s:~..
There is no doubt of our sincerity
in this and we feel very much offend.
ed were it. questioned,s but isgthis
loyalty always of the right sort; is it
intelligent and active or is it some.
times a sentimental and pleasing
fancy with which we delude our
selves?
The happiness of the people of a
city depends largely on, the pros.
perity of the community as whole
and this prosperity depends in part
upon the amount of money circula t.
ing there. The more none y
the people send away for
things they can buy from their own
merchants, the poorer the community
will become and, conversely the
more they spend at home, the more
the place will thrive.
Do those who patronize distant
mail order houses ever think of the
harm done? If all the good people
in Boston, for instance, should ignore
the local merchants and for one
year buy all their supplies in Chicago.
Buffalo and New York, there would
be For Sale" signs on the city hall.
Young's, the public library and the
old North church. The same principle
applies to all communities. =
Patronage of home merchants
is the life Of a city. These mail
order houses by offering attractive
~ premiums with Indifferent goods,
have drawn from US large amounts
of money which, if spent at home.
would have helped to pay for schools,
paving, lighting and general civic
Improvement. Outside y business
houses do not pay any part of our
city taxes.
But Business is Business" some
say. Yes, business is more than that,
it is reciprocity, and it should be ap.
parent to everyone that business
dealings with those who are working
for the same local interests as our
selves will be far more productive of
good, than trading with people who
are far away, who buy nothing from
US and whose only interest in our
community is the amount of money
they can get out of it. - :
Do you recall when times have been
hard that these mail order houses
ever extended you credit to help you
ever the hard places? Will they?
! Not in thousand years-its money
down, or no goods. The local mer.
chants are the ones to whom, We
must then turn for assistance, but
how can we do so with good grace
or reason unless we support them in
prosperous times?
They are alert, intelligent. and
progressive, and, if given the. OPP
portunity, will sell better goods
at the same, or lower prices, than
the mail order houses can or will
and deliver them at once-no ex-
press charges, no long delays, no
disappointments.
Let us cease, then, enrichine a
few people in whom we have no
sort of interest, at the cost Of last
ing injury to our own home bust
ness for time. 4
Surely, loyalty, in this instance,
means spend your money at home.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 13.-Writing to

and another was taking out $4,000 a

Chairman Root called for the re-

Then ensued a two-hour struggle,
during which Colonel Roosevelt
leaped upon the platform and amid
hurricane of cheering, jeers and
Kisses excoriated by name Old Guard
bosses who for three years have bit
terly opposed direct primaries. At
the end the Roosevelt plank on the
subject, as well as his whole plat
form, was adopted by tremendous
majority.
All the nominees except Stimson
and Thompson, the candidate for
state comptroller, were selected by
one vote cast by the secretary of the
convention. Once more the Old Guard
tried to reform their broken lines
for a contest for comptroller. Barnes
resented having this place taken from
Albany county, and so Woodruff
brought out John Kissel of Brooklyn
against Thompson.
But it was of mo avail, for Herbert
Parsons cast the entire vote of New
York county for Thompson, and the
Roosevelt forces rolled up 66s votes
for Thompson, with only 293 for
Kissel. ]. Sloat Fassett was recog-

Labor and Capital.
The record of Republican legisla-
ton during the past eighteen years,
conserving the public interest by inn
proving the condition of labor, is un-
equalled in our history. We are
proud to- record that New York has
been the first American state to pro-
vide by law for compulsory compensa-
ton of employees sustaining personal
injury while following extra hazard
Gus occupations, and also to legalize
voluntary agreements as to compensa-

in all other occupations.
Agriculture.
We believe that the encouragement
of agriculture and the betterment of
country life are vital to the future Of
the state. Under Republican legisla-
lures large sums have been appro-

for agricultural education, for pre-
venting the spread of diseases of ami

SYNOPSIS OF REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

Saratoga, N. Y.-The important
parts of the platform adopted by the
committee on resolutions for presen-
tation to the convention are as fol-
lows:
The Republicans of the state of
New York, in convention represented,
resolve as follows:
Warfare Against Graft.
We declare relentless warfare upon
official and legislative wrongdoing in
this state. A Republican legislature
ordered an immediate and searching
inquiry into all corrupt practices, and
this inquiry is now going forward Wig
orously. We pledge its continuance,
with additional authority if required.
National Administration.
We enthusiastically indorse the
progressive and statesmanlike lead
ership of William Howard Taft, and
declare our pride in the achievements
of his first eighteen months as Presi-
dent of the United States.
The Tariff.
The Payne tariff law reduced the
average rate of all duties IL per cent.
BY increasing the duties on some
luxuries and articles not of ordinary
use, making, however, no increase on
any common food product, it turned
a national deficit into a surplus. I'm
der its first year of operation the
value of imports free of duty was the
greatest in our history by $109. 000,-
900, and the average rate of duty was
less than under the Wilson law.
Gov. Hughes Administration.
We congratulate the people on the
notable progress of the state under
the four years administration of Gov.

cratic state committee and ran so1
lieutenant governor Ia 1908, is a
comparatively newcomer into the DO.
litical world. 1t is only six years ago
that he was asked by Democrats who
desired to secure the nomination of o
moderate man for the Presidency 30
go as delegate to the national cons
vention at st. Louis, and he was
forced to confess that he did not
know how to accomplish it.
At that time he was man of the
highest standing in the business
world, as successful lumberer and
banker. an employer who got on too
well with his employees to care wheth-
er they belonged to a union or not
and an ardent advocate of the state
forests.
Mr.. Dix was born on Christmas
Day, 1860, at Glens Falls, just rs
months before Governor Hughes was
born at the same place His father
was James Lawton Dix, son of Sam
uel Dix of Vermont, and his mother
was a Miss Laura Stevens.
Mr.. Dir is a nephew of the famous
John A. Dix, who sent the stirring
message in 1861: If any man at
tempts to haul down the American
flag shoot him on the spot. /" He was
then secretary of the treasury under
Buchanan and was trying to get all
the revenue cutters into northern WAT
ers before the war began. The cap
tain OF one at New Orleans refused
to obey, and Dix ordered his arrest
and closed the dispatch with the
above words. He became a major
general in the war, and was governor
of New York from 1873 to 1875.

of Seymour Van Santvoord of Rens-
selaer, chairman of the full commit
tee; Congressman Fitzgerald of
Kings and John Quinn of New York,
the preparation of the platform that
was adopted by the convention.
The most important plank is that
relating to direct nominations. 1t is
as follows:
I'VE declare in favor of statewide
direct primaries to insure to the peo-
pie the right to choose members of
political committees and nominate
candidates for public Office.
I'VE favor the enactment OF such
measures as will compel personal reg
istration of voters throughout the en-
tire State We believe that every pos
sible safeguard should be thrown
around the right to vote-such safe
guards to be uniform in their appli-
cation aud not made for one portion
of the state alone"
The other planks advocate the di-
rect election of United States SEN
ators; the approval of the income tax
amendment to the constitution; an
employers liability law, and equal
and uniform tax throughout the state.
There are also planks denouncing the
action of Theodore Roosevelt in att
lacking the Supreme court justices
and accusing the Republican party Of
being responsible for the graft condi-
tions in the legislature that have been
exposed in the investigation in New
York. Governor Hughes administra-
ton is arraigned for extravaganza
and there is commentary. on the
high cost of living, with demand for
a downward revision of the tariff.
