Cf4cago.--The following is tho plat Gs1rna adopted by the Republican na- sfoBaI convention on Saturday after r1oon.
 'The Republican party. assembled by s.s representatives in national conven- tion. declares It's unchanging faith in government o, .Se people, by the peo- gle. for the people. We renew our all Eegfance to the principles of the Re publican institutions established by che fafhsrs.
 We believe In our self-controlled representative democracy which is a government of laws. not of men, and An which order Is the prerequisite of pragress. The Republican party will strive, not only in the nation, but in the several states, to enact the nee 'cssaEy legislation to safeguard the public health; to limit effectively the Tabor of women and children and to protect wage-earners engaged in dan genous occupations; to enact compre- stehsave and generous worlSman's com psrsaficn laws in place Of the present ~astefGl and unjust system of employ assss liability; and in all possible ways 90 satisfy the just demand of the people for the study and solution of f1he complex and constantly changing problems of social welfare
 The Republican party reafflrms it's Intention to uphold at all times the authority and integrity Of the courts. both state and federal. and it will ever fnsfsf that their powers to enforce rhotr process and protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved in- ~foIate4
 That the courts, both federal and srate. may bear the heavy burden laid upon them to the complete satisfac- efos of public opinion we favor legis- faffoa eo prevent long delays and the reaious &nd costly appeals which have ssa often amounted ts a denial of jus rice Tn civil cases and to failure to protect the public at large in criminal cases
 Since the responsibility of the ju- 5issfary Is so great, the standards of Judicial action must be always and everywhere above suspicion and re- .aroach While we regard the recall os judges as unnecessary and unwise, we favor such action as may be neces- sssrE Go simplify the process by which SaF Sz,lge who is found to be dereiet xn his duty may be removed from of five.
 Together with peaceful and order ty development at home. the Republi- can party earnestly fayors all meas uIss f0r the establishment and pro- trction of the peace of the world. and for the development of closer relations between the various nations of the earth.
 1t beileEes most earnestly in the peaceful settlement of international disputes and in the reference of all Nsteiahie controversies between na- uons to an international court of jus efre.
 The Republican party fayors the t4naItment of legislation supplement- sry to the existing antitrust act, crsieh will define as criminal offenses these specific acts that uniformly gnarlk attempts to restrain and to gfsonopcsIEe trade. to the end that those who honestly intend 10 obey the
 
 tissO srad that those who aim to Yio- tarr the law may the more surely be sunfSSss
 la the enforcement and admins cratIew of federal laws governing in ttssstare commerce and enterprises Impressed with a public use engaged Stsegein. there is much that may be committed to a federal trade commits 'sios. thus placing in the hands of an administrative board many of the functions now necessarily exercised ey tae courts.
 We resffirm ou- belief in protec- rVs tariff. The protective tariff Is so Ex@ven futo the fabric Of our industrial and agricultural life that to substitute for t < tariff for revenue only would aesxroy many industries and throw xntItlons of our people out of employ. rsent The products of the farms and aS the mine should receive the same measure of protection as other prod octs Of American labor.
 We hold that the import duties asho@ld be high enough while yielding s sufficient revenue to protect ade- YcaieIy American industries and va-ses Some of the existing import duties are too high and should be re Jsaeed- ReadJustment should be made rpsa.za time to time to conform to chang. rag conditions and to reduce excessive rsres. but without injury to any Amer fsan industry. To accomplish this cor rvct information Is indispensable. This Information can best be obtained by an expert commission. as the large seSiuune of useful facts contained in eae recent reports of the tarif board Gas demonstrated
