SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, September 90
The republican state convention which
met here today adopted a platform ap-
proving the administrations of Presi-
dent Taft and Gov. Deneen. The tariff
plank follows the lines laid down in
the Presidents campaign letter to
Chairman Mckinley Of the republican
congressional committee. The pro-
ceedings we're harmonious. Speaker

republican faith, whether or not failure
be the result.
Commends Taft and Congress.
,The platform commends President

the people, have carried forward an
other step the principles and policies
which have dominated and controlled
the government Of the United States
for the most progressive half century
of civilized life"
Gov. Deneen. as temporary chairman,
opened the convention here today with
a keynote address in which he pointed
out a remedy for legislative corruption and
discussed the tariff along the lines laid
down by President Taft in his campaign
letter to the republican congressional
committee.
Fruitful in Legislation.
He declared that the eighteen months
that have passed since the beginning of
the national administration have been
fruitful in the enactment of legislation in
redemption of the pledges of the 1908
platform, such as tariff revision, amend
ment of the interstate commerce law.
passage of the law authorizing the Presi-
dent to withdraw public lands from en-
try and to protect water power sites and
conserve our natural resources, passage
of the postal savings bank law, amend
ment Of the employers liability law and
passage of the law compelling publicity
of contributions for campaign expenses.
This achievement. said the speaker, en-
titles the republican party and the Presi-
dent to a vote of confidence by the Amer
lean people.
Denounces Corruption.
Discussing the recent airing of corrup-
ton in the legislature, Gov. Deneen said
that the confessions of four members Of
the legislature and the Indictment of four
others indicated the existence of an ex-
tensive system of corruption, which the
republican party Of Illinois must not
merely denounce but must correct by
acting as a whole. in harmony with the
views of the party as expressed in its
convention.
Speaker Cannon found a seat with the
Vermillon county delegation. but was
presently sought out and brought to the
platform.
