offices are an injustice to the taxpayer
and bad example to the citizen.
Civic Duty-We call upon the people
to quicken their interest in public at
fairs. to condemn and punish lynchings
and other forms of laWlessness and TO
strengthen In all possible ways re-
spect for law and the observance Of it.,
Indifferent citizenship is an evil from
which the law affords no adequate pro-
lection and for which legislation can
provide no remedy.
Arizona and New Mexico-We con-
graduate the people OF Arizona ana
New Mexico upon the ADMISSION OF
those states, thus merging IN the Union
in final and enduring form the last
rero ching norton Of our continental
territory.
We challenge successful criticism OF
the sixteen years OF republican admin
istration under Presidents Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft. We heartily reaf-
firm the Endorsement of President Nc
Kinley contained in the platIorms OF
1900 and 1904, and that OF fresldent
1904 and 1908.
We invite the intelligent Judgment Of
The American people upon the admins
tration of William H. Taft. The cour-
try has prospered and been at peace
under his presidency. During the years
in which he had the cooperation OF
republican congress an unexampled
amount of constructive legislation
was framed and passed in the interest
of the people and in obedience to their
wish. That legislation is record on
which any administration might appeal
with confidence to the favorable judg-
ment Of history.
We appeal to the American electorate
upon the record Of the republican party
and upon this declaration OF It's prin-
cipIes and purposes. We are confident
that under the leadership Of the candi-
dates here to be nominated our appeal
will not be in vain; that the republican
party will meet every just expectation
Of the people whose servant 1T is: that
under it's administration and its laws
our nation will continue to advance
that peace and prosperity will abide
| with the people and that new glory will
be added to the great republic.
