Therefore, we recommend and urge
an authoritative investigation of agri-

establishment and capable supervision

Campaign Contributions.
We favor such additional legislation

to prohibit corporations from contrib

We heartily approve the act of con-

whether made in connection with pri-
mafies, conventions or elections.
Conservation Policy.
We rejoice in the success of the dis
tinctive republican policy of the con

waste and without monopoly. We
pledge ourselves to a continuance of
such a policy.

adequate navy for the national defense
and we condemn the action of the
democratic house of representatives
in refusing to authorize the construc-

Readjustments should be made from

rates, but without injury to American
industry. To accomplish this. correct
information is Indispensable This ~
formation can best be obtained by ar
expert comm ssion, as the large vol
ume of useful facts contained in tbs
recent reports of the tariff board has
demonstrated
The pronounced feature of modern
industrial life is it's enormous diversi
fcation. To apply tariff rates justly
to these changing conditions requires
closer study and more scientific meth
DDS than ever before. The republican
party has shown by its creation of the
tariff board its recognition of this sit
uation, and its determination to be
equal to it. We condemn the demo
cratic party for it's failure either tc
provide funds for the continuance OF
this board or to make some other pro
vision for securing the information
requisite for intelligent legislation. We
protest against the democratic method
of legislating on these vitality impor
tart subjects without careful inyesti
cation.
We condemn the democratic tariff
bills passed by the house of represen
tatives Of the sixty-second congress as
sectional, as injurious to the public
credit and as destroying business en-
terprises.
Banking and Currency.
The republican party has always
stood for sound currency and fol
safe banking methods. 1t is respon.
sible for the resumption of specie pay
ments and for the establishment of the
gold standard. 1t is committed to the
progressive development of our banh-
ing and currency system. Our bank
ing arrangements toda, need further
revision to meet the requirements OF
current conditions. We need meas
ures which will prevent the recurrent Q

prosperity of business and the welfare
OF the laboring people by producing

The republican party is now, as is
always, a party of advanced and cor
structive craftsmanship. 1t is to 90
forward with the solution OF those
new questions which social, economic
and political development have
brought into the forefront of the ma
tons interest. 1t will strive, not only
IN the nation but in the several states.
to enact the necessary legislation to
safeguard the public health; to limit
effectively the labor of women and
children; to protect wage earners en-
gagged in dangerous occupations: to
enact comprehensive and generous
workmen's compensation laws in place
of the present wasteful and unjust
system of employers liability: and in
all possible ways to satisfy the just
demands Of the people for the study
and solution of the complex and con
stantly changing problems OF social
welfare.
no interfering with Individual Rights
In dealing with the questions it is
important that the rights Of every in
divdual to the freest possible devci
sources and TO the control Of his own
justly acquired property, so far IS
those are compatible with the rights
of others shall not be interfered with
or destroyed.
The social and political structure OF
the United States rests on the civil
liberty of the individually and for the
protection of that liberty the people
have wisely, in the national and state
constitutions, put definite limitations
On themselves, on their governmental
officers and agencies. To enforce
these limitations, to secure the orderly
and coherent exercise of government
al power and to protect the rights OF
even the humbest and least-favored
individuals are the function of indie
pendent courts of justice.
The republican party reaffirms its
intention to uphold at all times the au
thority and integrity of the courts
both state and federal, and it will ever
insist that their powers to enforce
their process and to protect life, liber
