as originally presented was adopted
with tumultuous cheering.
THE Republicans of California
should not hesitate to go before the
people and say Ehat we are unqual-
fiedly proud of president Taft" ex-
claimed the speaker.
There was a chorus Of protests, and
several delegates arose to declare the
speaker out of order.
The progressive wing Of the Repub-
Iican party took over the organization
management yesterday, endorsed the
nominees chosen at the recent prima-
ries and adopted a party platform
There was no echo of the bitterness
of the late campaign. Concessions had
been made to the regulars before the
convention was called to order, the for
-mer dominant faction being granted
fair representation on the central COM
mittee.
Throughout the proceedings the ma
tional leadership of Theodore Roose-
welt was recognized in speech and reso-
luton. Every mention of the former
presidents name was received with
applause.
The platform declared the allegiance
of the party in this state to the pro3
gressive Republican policies enunci-
ated by eXpreSident Roosevelt and re-
affirmed and already in part enacted
into law under the administration Of
president Taft"
The tariff plank declares "unswerv-
ing adherence to the Republican doc
trine of protection without which the
American standard of living cannot be
maintained" and says:
For Tariff Commission.
I'VE believe that the methods Of
trade and barter heretofore prevailing
in fba fray inc Of oriff hills
suited in unsatisfactory tariff laws.
We therefore join in with the presi-
dent in demanding the appointment OF
a permanent tariff commission wholly
removed from the possibility of po-
litical pressure or improper business
influences Such commission should
ascertain the difference between the
cost Of production. which is mainly the
difference of labor cost, and distribu
ton here and abroad AS fast its
recomm enda lions are made congress
should revise one schedule at a time.
We oppose any future general revision
based on insufficient data to determine
the amount of protection actually
needed"
s. p. Told to "Get OUT
Under the caption of railroad po-
litical control" the platform says:
The Republican party OF Califor-
ence heretofore exercised in the coun-
sis Of the party organization and in
the conduct OF government of the state |
by the Southern Pacific railroad and :
allied corporations We call upon the Z
Legislative and executive officials now |
about to be elected to eliminate that /
Influence from all par5cipa ton or I
control in the governmental affairs of !
the state. We recognize the value of |
the services of all transportation COM !
panies and we make no attack upon the |
legitimate business of the Southern |
Pacific or any other corporation But ,
we deny the right of any corpora ton /
to usurp the functions of government
or party management and we expect !
to take such action as will terminate |
that control.
1--WE repudiate also the domination
in the national government
servation policies of Roosevelt and
Pinchot are endorsed.
The direct primary of the state is
endorsed with certain amendments to-
ward simplificatiOn.
a demand is made for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
and pending the enactment of such a
law a state at large advisory vote is
instead of the present
advisory vote by districts.
The resolutions also pledge the par
ty to the income tax amendment and
declare IN favor of San Francisco for
the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915.
