features and commerce on a scale
never before paralleled; and, for ur
nation, greatly increased national
prestige at home and abroad. The
splendor of this record will never
grow dim.
The Protective Tariff
8. We reaffrm with emphasis our
adherence to the great American
doctrine, consistently upheld by The
Republican party, of protection TO
home industries. The people of Utah
irrespective of party, are vitality In
terested in the upbuilding OF this
policy. without 1t the profitable Guilt

ufacture of sugar from the beet root
would cease; the flocks would be
swept from our hills and plains; our
low-grade lead and silver mines would
be closed and with other kindred pur-
suits would disappear from the indus
trial life of Utah. We condemn the
inconsistency of those of our fellow
citizens who. appealing to the Repub-
lican party to protect their lead, sill

from disaster by threatened Democ'
ratio legislation. go to the polls AMI
with their votes support the parry
from whose acts they ask the Repub'
lican party 10 protect them. We &c"
them II such a course is consistent
with straightforward political action
and Just to the people among whom
they live and the state in whose ma
terial welfare they have a common
interest.
Uphold the Constitution
4. We regard the preservation of
representative institutions and an
untrammeled judiciary one of the s'i-
preme issues of this campaign and
deem II to be our duty to sound 70
uncertain or faltering note in regard
to it. The Republicans of Utah stand,
where the national Republican party
has always stood, for the constitution
and the representative institutions, le-
gislative and executive, and the Ill
dependent judiciary 1t provides for.
They believe these to be sufficient for
all our social and political needs. Tn "
regard all attempts TO subvert CT
change these institutions by forms
and methods unknown to the constitu-
ton as revolutionary and destructive
of the fundamental principles upon
which our form of government Is
based.
The Titanic Disaster
5. We deplore the great calamity
which SO swiftly sent to the oceans
depth, with its precious load OF hui
man freight, the mighty Titanic and
we urge upon our congressional dele
cation the Importance Of adequate y.
gislatlon TO insure hereafter every
possible protection TO the lives OF
those who may have TO travel upon
the seas.
For Veterans
6. We deem II to be our duty on
every possible occasion to express our
appreciation and regard for the pa.
triotic men who rlsked their lives in
defense of our country. We hold
them in grateful remembrance and
favor legislation that will place CIV.

marched beneath the flag, beyond the
possibility of want so long as he
may live.
