indianapolis, April 5.-Rcpublicans
of Indiana in their convention today
inaugurlted the political campaign OF
1910 by the selection OF a state ticket
with the exception Of governor ana
lieutenant governor and adopted q
platform that endorses a protective
tariff. Il tariff commission, conscrva-
ton of natural resources. the ltoose-
welt policies and the administration of
President Taft. senator B~cveridscs
record IN congress WAS also enthusiasts
ticauy endorsed. No mention was
made Of the Payne-Aldrich law which
Mr.. Beyeridgo voted against in the
senate The platform is rs follows.
We. the republicans Of Indiana, de-
clare our determined support of those
great policies for the common good
developed under Theodore Roosevelt
and bearing his name, and we demand
that they be given effect in legislation
and administration.
We believe in a protective tariff,
measured by the difference between
the cost Of production here and
abroad. Less han this is unjust to
American laborers: more is unjust to
American consumers. That differ
enoe should be ascertained with the
utmost speed and the present law
modified accordingly.
We demand the immediate creation
OF a genuine, permanent, uon-partisan
tariff commission with ample powers
and definite duties fixed in the law
itself.
W. believe. with President AlcKin-
ley. in bis last tariff u%ttcrances, that
the period Of eXclusiYeness is past.
and we heartily favor the republican
policy of reciprocity first announced
by Blaine ana later advocated by Ne
Kinley.
We demand comprehensive laws for
the conservation of our natural re-
sources and especially that the coal
deposits of Alaska shah b. kept the
property Of the ration. 70 be developed
only under lease ana payment Of just
royalties to the government.
IN time of war or any other emerS-
cncy. when ordinary forms of taxation
arc not enough for the needs Of the
government, the nation should have
the constitutional power to tax in
comes. We heartily favor an amend-
ment to the constitution giving con-
grcss this power.
we favor such Imitation Of the
power of Injunction as will not i'm
peril the liberty Of any man without
notice ana hearing.
We favor national legislation which
win end child slavery II INC factories.
mines and swcatshors throughout the
land.
We favor just ana liberal pensions
TO all deserving soldiers and to the
widows ana orphans Of those who are
dead
We demand the enactment of laws
providing for publicity as to campaign
contributions in both state and ma
ton,
We demand that United states scn-
ators shall be elected by the direct
vote of the people.
Good roads mark the progress of
civilization. Present legislation is
wholly inadequate to their proper
maintenance and extension. The
farmer pays On unjust share Of the
expense. Therefore, we favor state
and county aid and an effective high
way commission.
We favor revision Of our civil and
criminal codes. to the end that tech
niealities and unnecessary formali-
ties Of pleading ana practice may be
eliminated, speedy justice administer
ed and the cost Of litigation reduced 90
a minimum.
We recognize that no president in
our history ever began his administra-
ton with such universal favor and
good will as did William II. TAFT; few
men have entered the presidency with
such extraordinary training.
We endorse his administration and
pledge to him our support in any ef-
forts to secure the enactment OF genu-
inc progressive legislation.
The spirit OF the times demands not
only wise ~olicies and sound princi-
Pies. but tteal. vigilant. brave and
