FOR GOVERNOR

committee on resolutions for %presenta-
ton to the convention today;
The Republicans of the State of New
York, in convention represented, resolve
as follows:
We declare relentless warfare upon
official and legislative wrongdoing in
this state. A Republican Legislature
ordered an immediate n searching
inquiry into all corrupt practises. and
this inquiry is now going forward Vigor
ously. We pledge its continuance, with
additional authority, if required, until
all such w%rongdoing capable of exposure
shall have been brought to light, to the
end that the guilty shall be punished
and the innocent relieved of unjust Sus-
picions
National Administration.
We enthusiastically indorse the pro-
gressive and s~tatesmanlike leadership
of william Howard Taft, and declare
our pride in the achievements of his
first eighteen months as president of
the United States. Each succeeding
month since his Inauguration has con-
firmed the nation in its high estimate
of his greatness of character, intellec-
tual ability, sturdy common sense ex-
traordinary patience and perseverance,
broad and statesmanlike comprehen-
sion of public questions and unfaltering
and answering adherence to duty. He
has strengthened our prestige with for
eign nations and treated with vigor and
wisdom important international prob
lens, notably our tariff relations with
Germany, France and Canada. Under
ls. -, RI@@ Il nf
| those implicated in the sugar and other
customs frauds have been continued,
and convictions obtained; there have
been impartial and energetic enforce
ment of the Sherman anti-trust act; a
substantial reduction of governmental
expenses; the establishment of better
business methods, which will result in
greater efficiency n real economy; re-
markable progress in the construction
of the Panama canal; and the with
drawal from private entry of over
l 1000, 900 acres Of the public domain, to
preserve for public benefit valuable
coal and other mineral deposits, timber
land and water power sites. On his
recommendation Congress has provided
for a commission to investigate and re-
port on the regulation of the issuance
of stock and bonds by public service
corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce. He has advocated a new sys-
tenn of appropriations for river and har-
Dor improvements, under which each
item, after investigation by experts,
shall be approved and carried TO COM
pletion as a separate measure. This
recommendation we heartily indorse.
The Tariff.
The Payne tariff law reduced the
average rate OF all duties II per cent.
BY increasing the duties on some lux
uries and articles not of ordinary use,
making. however, no increase on any
common food product, it turned a ma
tional deficit into a surplus. Under its
first year of operation h value of i'm
ports free of duty was the greatest in
our history by $109. 900, 900, and the aver
age rate of duty was less than under
the Wilson law. Unlike that Demo-
cratic law, it's great reductions of duty
have not stopped industry nor deprived
labor of any part of its hire.
Hughes's Administration.
We congratulate the people on the
notable progress of the State under the
four years administration of Governor
Hughes, which has been conspicuous
for the highest standards of efficiency.
He has appealed to the conscience and
intelligence of the people and cham
pioned legislation demanded by the
moral sense of the community.
Through his wise recommendation and
the efficient action of a Republican
Legislature all public service corpora
lions in the State of New York have
been successfully taken out of politics
by being placed under commissions Of
high character.
To Governor Hughes Is due the credit
of ~arousing the interest Of the people
and convincing them of the need of
directly electing their party officers and
directly nominating their party candi-
dates. We promise legislation which
viii enact these principles into law.
