The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1912-05-18

The Republicans OF Utah, met Ill
o,e convention, respectfully make
- their fellow citizens the following
.,o,ement on matters of supreme mo-
,oent now engrossing the attention If
the American people:
Allegiance to Party
We unqualifiedly reaffirm our
..regiance to the national Republican
arty and our approval and support OF
,he principles and policies proclaimed
no the party at it's last national con-
vention.
The Party Record
We refer with pride to the great
record made by our party during the
mast fifty years; record which, in
us broad sweep, embraces a great re-
nublic preserved; the emancipation OF
a race; the opening of an empire OF
public domain to settlement by mil
lions of free people; the advancement
of free institutions to foremost
Mace in the affairs of mankind; the
development of our resources, manu-
features and commerce on 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
g. We reaffirm 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 it the profitable cult
vation of the sugar beet and the man.
rfacture 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 tha
inconsistency of those of our fellow
citizens who, appealing to the Repub-
lican party to protect their lead, sill
yer. iron ore, wool and other interests
from disaster by threatened Democ-
. ratio le gislation, go to the polls ami
with their votes support the party
from whose acts they ask the Repub'
lcan party TO protect them. We &C.;
them il such a course is consistent
with straightforward political action
ind just to the people among whom
they live and the state in whose ma
terial welfare they have common
interest.
Uphold the Constitution
4. We regard the preservation OF
representative institutions and an
untrammcled judiciary one of the sn
preme issues of this campaign and
deem it to,be our duty to SOUND &c
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, lie
gislative and executive, and the in
dependent judiciary it provides for
They believe these to be sufficient fol
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 'upor
which our form of government II
based
The Titanic Disaster
5. We deplore the great calamit,
which so swiftly sent to the oceans
depth, with its precious load of hu
man freight, the mighty Titanic, ant
we urge upon our congressional dele

those who may have to travel upor

For Veterans
D. We deem 1t to be our duty oil
every possible occasion to express oul
appreciation and regard for the pa
triotic men who risked their lives II
ueiense of our country. We holt
them in grateful remembrance ant
FAVOR legislation that will place ev

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