Text of Platform.
I'VE. the Republicans of Indiana, de-
clare our determined support OF those
great policies for the common good de-
yeloped under Theodore Roosevelt, and
bearing his name. and we demand that
they be given effect in legislation and ad
ministration.
I'VE believe in q protective tariff. mea-
sured by the difference between the cost
of production here and abroad. Less than
this Is unjust to American laborers; more
is unjust 10 American consumers. That
difference should be ascertained with the
utmost speed and the present law modi-
fed accordingly.
I'VE demand the immediate creation
of a genuine, permanent, non-partisan
tariff commission, with ample powers and
definite duties fixed in the law itself.
we believe, with President McKin-
ley. in his last tariff uttcrances. that
the period OF eXcIusiveness is past,
and we heartily favor the Republican
policy OF reciprocity, first announced by
Blaine and later advocated by McKin
1--WE demand comprehensive laws for
the conservation of our natural resources,
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 the gov
ernment.
'Tn time OF war or any other emer-
gency when ordinary forms Of taxation
are not enough for the needs of the gov
eminent, the nation should have consti-
tutional power 10 tax incomes. We heart
lily favor. an amendment TO the consti-
tuition giving congress this power.
Eve favor such limitation of the
powers OF injunction as will not lmperll
the liberty Of any man without notice
and hearing,
I'VE favor national legislation which
will end child slavery In the factories.
mines and sweatshops throughout the
land.
1--WE favor just and liberal pensions to
all deserving soldiers and TO the widows
and orphans of those who are dead
we demand the enactment OF laws
providing. for publicity as to campaign
contributions. in both state and nation.
I'VE demand that United States sena :
tors shall be elected by the direct vote
OF the people.
Good roads mark the progress of CIV
ilization. Present legislation is wholly
Inadequate TO their proper maintenance
and extension. The former pays an un-
just share OF the expense. Therefore.
we favor state and county aid and an
effective highway commission.
I'VE favor revision OF our civil and
criminal codes. TO the end that techni-
calities and unnecessary formalities OF
pleadings and practice may oe eliminated.
speedy justice administered and the cost
OF litigation reduced TO a minimum.
1--WE recognize that no president In our
history ever began his administration
with such universal favor and good will
as did William H Taft: few men have
entered the presidency with such eXtraor-
dinary training. We indorse his admin
istration and pledge to him our supper,
In any efforts To secure the enactmen,
OF genuinely progressive legislation. The
spirit Of the times demands not only wise
policies and sound principles. but clean
vigilant, brave and sincere men in pub
lie office.
I'VE ndorse and applaud the splendid
record OF our senior senator, and espe-
ciaily his record I'm the last session o.
congress. which deserves the unqualified
approval of all the people Of the state
With pride and confidence we make q
solemn pledge to the people that a Re-
publican legislature will return to Tho
senate OF the United States this man
whose name Is synonymous with victory
