Of mines, the Institution Of postal savings

sailors Of the republic and for their wild

all mark the successful progress OF Re
publican administration and are addition

We challenge successful criticism OF tho
slxteen years OF Republican administrn'

Welt and TAFT. We heartily reafiirm tho
Endorsement Of President Mckinley con
tanned IN the platform OF 1900 ana OF 1904
and that Of President Roosevelt contained
in the platform OF 1904 and 1908.
