4 Here are some of the planks in
the Republican platform adopt
n ed at the Indiana state conven-
tion today
I'VE, the Republicans of In
T. diana, declare our support of
y the great policies for the COM
& mon good developed under Theo-
y dore Roosevelt, and bearing his
n name, and we demand that they
T. be given effect in legislation and
It administration.
I'VE believe in a protective
+ tariff measured by the difference
= between the cost of production
+ here and abroad. Less than this
II is unjust to American laborers;
+ more is unjust to American con-
Il sumers. That difference should
+ be determined with the utmost
= speed and, and the present law
" modified accordingly.
Il eve demand the immediate
" creation of a geneuine, perma-
~ nent, non-partisan tariff COM
+ mission, with ample powers and
Il definite duties fixed by law.
1--WE demand comprehensive
Il laws for the conservation of
Il our national resources, and es-
Il pecially that the coal deposits of
y Alaska be kept the property of
" the nation.
1--WE recognize that no presi-
u dent in our history ever began
X his administration with such
Il universal favor and good will
y as did William H. Taft, few men
y have entered the presidency with
such extraordinary training. We
+ endorse his administration and
y pledge to him our support in any
y effort to secure the enactment
y of genuine progressive legisla-
= tion.
