made a speech, in the course OF which ne
said:

resolutions. which congratulated Senator
3everidge on his successful effort in be-
lalf of Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico. and upon his vigorous fight in be-
lalf of legislation prohibiting child labor
n the United states. but made no refer
nee to his tarin record. He was recog-
lized as "a brilliant orator and public
servant of marked ability and states
nanship" and also as "a man who Ii
and clean-handed. man
Who has the confidence Of all citizens

Administration Achievements.
The planks of the platform touching
lpon the tariff and the achievements of
he administration were as follows:
The Republican party has always taken great PRIDE
the character and ability of the candidates II has
Tosented to the people for their approval. In the
asst national campaign we pointed With especial
ride 70 the high character, great ability, and thor
ugh qualifications Of William H. Taft fer the high
flee Of President Of the United States. We con
Tatulate ourselves that his record has more than
lstifed our predictions With less than two years
his administration passed. We find written into
ationsl law the great majority Of the pledges q
ur party ia the last national platform, and the
Fosperity Of the PEOPLE increasing.
Remembering with pride and satisfaction that from
he hour Of the first national prmnulgstion Of its
rincples and purposes consistently until the pres
ut time. the Republican party has been the advo,
ate and champion Of protection TO American in I
ustries and American labor, and the fosterer Of

meriean farm and factory, We assert again oer
mn conviction that IN the Republican policy Of |
rejection lies the basis OF the prosperity Of our
sctories and mines the thrift and well being Of
lbcF. and the sure guaranty Of good markets and
BOD prices the Just reward Of the farmers t0sl.
