provided under our situation Of go'

constitutional provisions which undel

or amended in orderly fashion, II
the duty of the courts to see to
that when challenged they are er

That the courts, both federal an,
state, may bear the heavy burdeI
laid upon them to the complete salts
faction of public opinion, we favo
legislation to prevent long delays ant
the tedious and costly appeals which
have SO often amounted to a denia
of justice in civil cases and to a fail
ure to protect the public
criminal cases.
Opposes judicial Recall.
Since the responsibility of the lu
dietary is so great, the standards OF
judicial action must be always and
everywhere above suspicion and re-
proach. While we regard the recall
of judges as unnecessary and unwise,
we favor such action as may be nee.
essary to simplify the process by
which any Judge who is found to be
derelict in his duty may be removed
from office.
Together with peaceful and orderly
development at home the Republican
party earnestly favors all measures
for the establishment and protection
of the peace OF the world and for the
Of closer relations be-
tween the various nations Of the
earth. It believes most earnestly in
the peaceful settlement OF information.

Monopoly And Privilege.
The Republican party is opposed to
special privilege and to monopoly. 1t
placed upon the statute book the In
.erstate commerce act of 1887, and
he important amendments thereto,
md the antitrust act of 1890 and it
has consistently and successfully en-.
orced the provisions of these laws.

Experience makes It plain that the
business of the country may be car.
red on without fear or without dis
.rubance and at the same time with
out resort to practices which are alb
norrent to the common sense of JUS
lice. The Republican party favors
the enactment of legislation supple
mented to the existing antitrust act
which will define as criminal offenses
those specific acts that uniformly
mark attempts to restrain and to mo-
nopollze trade. to the end that those
who honestly intend to obey the law
may have a guide for their action and
that those who aim to violate the law
may the more surely be punished
The same certainty should be given
to the law prohibiting combinations
and monopolies that characterize 9TH
er provisions of commercial laws, in
order that no part of the field of bust
ness opportunity may be restricted by
or combinations, that busi-
ness success honorably achieved may
not be converted into crime, and that
the right of every man to acquire
commodities, and particularly the nee
essaries Of life, in an open market,
by the manipulation or
trust or combination may be pre-
served.
Trade Commission.
In the enforcement and administra.
ton OF federal laws for governing In.
terstate commerce and enterprises in
trusted with public function, there
may be committed to federal trade
commission, thus placing in the hands
of an administrative board, many Of
the functions now necessarily exer
cised by the courts. This will pro
mote promptness in the administration
OF the law and avoid delays and tech
nicalities incident to court procedure
We reaffirm our belief in a prorec
tive tariff. The Republican tariff pol
icy has been Of the greatest benefit
to the country. developing our resoure
es. diversifying our industry and pre-
tecting our workmen against compel
