publicGns in convention here yesterday
gave president Taft and his admins
ration a strong Endorsement and effec-
lively blocked all effort of a small band
OF insurgent delegates TO arouse senu-
nent for Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette
date.
The insurgents lacked a leader and
were outgeneraled by the Taft men.
Before the insurgents could get a
the floor. the regular had rushed thru
a motion providing tina. al resolutions
should be referred TO a committee of
seven members on which five were
strong friends OF Mt. Taft.
From this point the possibilities OF a
fight on the floor over the Endorsement
of MI Taft Went glinlmering
Despite their early announcem ent
that thcv would not assent to Taft
/ Endorsement on any conditions. the in
surgents failed Il make even show
OF fight or objection when the Platform
resolution was finally presented
The resolution went thru with a
whoon By rising vote. during which
several OF the insurgents were discov-
cred or their feet
The platform resolution as adopted
was as follows:

and Ne heartily indorse his statesman

I'VE recommend our republican rep
-esentative IN both branches OF con-
gress FOR the conscientious and patri-
Otto manner in which they have met the
great Issues confronting them.
Under our republican government.
Chester H. Aldrich and his republican
associates in the state house. the az
fairs of the state are being admin
,stered with sole regard 70 the pubic
interest and the laws fearlessly and I'M
partially enforced.
The state institutions are being re-
organized and conducted on more busi-
resslika basis, but with ever due con-
sideration for the wards OF the state.
The railroad and public service cor
porations are being restrained from
extor,ion and unjust discrimination.
The rights Of the people are being safe
guarded in every direction 20 make the
Nebraska motto, Equality before the
law living reality.
For all this the republican party
rightfully claims credit as also for the
progressive legislation whose enact
nent has been possible only by the
cooperation OF FepuDiicdn ia"lHahef
and the approval OF republican execu-
tive. no less than for the blocking by
executive veto Of vicious or purely par
tisan measures proposed solely for po-
litical effect.
Nebraska always has taken pride in
its educational institutions and we
pledge liberal support to the state uni
versity In all of it's branches and in
view Of the predominant agricultural
interests of the state We specially COM
mend the work being done by the ag-
ricul,ural college and schools"
