The platform resolution as adopted
was as follows:
Rejoicing in the glorious record of
the Republican party and reafirming
our devotion to Republican princi-
pies, We congratulate the country on
its continued peace, progress and pros
perity, under the wise guidance of our
Republican president.
THE arbitration treaties whose
negotiation he has inspired mark no
table step toward world peace, and in
only lesser degree his tactfulness in
maintaining neutrality and avoiding
international complications during the
revolution in Mexico. He is proving
his devotion to the right policy of con-
servation of our natural resources. He
is prosecuting the illegal trusts and
combines without fear or favor. He
is instituting reforms in the admins
tration of the government which make
for economy and efficiency. We have
every confidence in the unselfish pa.
triotism and conscientious devotion to
public duty of William Howard Taft,
and We heartily indorse his statesman
like administration.

Chester H. Aldrich, and his Repub-
lican associates in the statehouse,

ministered with sole regard to the pub

DEMOCRATS VOTE TO REDUCE
CUSTOMS RATES BY HALF.
Caucus Turns Down an Attempt to
Open All of the Schedules
to Action.

Washington, July 26.-DemoCrats
of the house of representatives, after
a prolonged caucus, ratified by more
than two-thirds majority the cotton
tariff revision bill drafted by the
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee
This revision reduces by nearly
one-half the schedules of the Payne
Aldrich law on manufactures of cot
ton. The bill will be introduced in
the house and its passage expedited
The bill was not ratified without
protest, and a vigorous effort was
made by many Democrats to upset the
party legislative program and to pre-
vent adjournment of the special ses-
sion of congress by blazing away
with tariff revision all down the line,
even if such action would throw the
session into the late fall.
The committee estimates that I'M
der the new rate the revenue to be
derived in II months from the cot
ton tariff will be $1O,500,000, a de-
crease of a little more than $4,000 900
from last year under the Payne-Ald.

Cotton clothing duties are reduced
from 40 to 30 and % per cent: cotton
cloth, not mercerized or bleached, cut
to Is, 20 and % per cent. in various
grades, and cloth composed of silk
or mercerized cut from 42.46 to % per
cent
Though all resolutions were defeat,
ed no decisive action on the time OF
adjournment was taken. That Ques.
ton will be settled at later caucus.
