there will be reduction on goods
imported into this country. or assign
any reason why the high protection
wall should not be broken down.
The monetary question is slightly
touched upon, but. enough is said to
show the people that the party favors
the Aldridch system of banking, and
will lend its efforts towards its adop-
ton.
The party reaffirms its allegiance
to the principles enunciated in the
first convention, and pledges to carry
out faithfully and well every promise.
IL stands unequivocably in favor Of
unfolding the dignity of the courts,
and takes a firm stand against the
recall of judges.
1t points with pride to the sixteen
years of Republican control and chal-
lenges successful criticism of the ad-
ministrations during that time, After
dealing in glittering generalities. and
laying the blame of unrestfulness
on the Democrats, and condemning
the party for its sins. an appeal is
made to the American people to sup
port President Taft in his fight for re-
election.
Taking the platform as whole it
contains nothing new, and nothing
from which the people can draw that
Will inure to their good if the party IS
successful. 1t is simply a repetition Of
promises. which have been made by
the party during the past sixteen
years, and all of which have been
more or less broken.
The platform was written by the
most reacticnary Republicans in the
party 1t does not contain one word
of a progressive tinge, but seeks to
convey the idea that the people have
no right to a say in the government
and they should remain under the con
troll of political bosses who care moth
ing for their welfare, We do not be-
lieve the American people will ap-
prove the platform at the polls next

What will the electors Of the Colonel
do in case of President Taft's cleo

they throw their strength to the Col
onel in an effort to bring about the de
feat of the President?
These questions are paramount with
the followers of President Taft, and
how TO answer them intelIigcntly
seems beyond their comprehension.
Since the fight was started by Roose-
welt, the Taft men are determined to
carry it to the limit and fest tho sin
