to their fellow citizens the following
statement on matters OF supreme mo-
ment now engrossing the attention "
the American people:
Allegiance to Party
/. we unquannedly reaffirm our
allegiance to the national Republican
party and our approval and support OF
the principles and policies proclaimed
by tue party at its last national con
vention.
the Party Record
2. We refer with pride to the great
record made by our party during the
past uity years; a record which, IN
its broad sweep. embraces a great re-
public preserved; the emancipation OF
a race; the opening of an empire oil
public domain to settlement by Mill
lions of free people; the advancement
OF free institutions to foremost
place in the affairs of mankind; the
development of our resources. manu-
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
3. We reaffirm with emphasis our
adherence to the great American
doctrine, consistently upheld by the
Republican party, of protection 10
home industries. The people OF Titan
irrespective of party, are vitality In
terested in the upbuilding of this
policy. without 1t the profitable cult
walton of the sugar beet and the man
ufacture of sugar from the beet root
would cease; the flocks would DE
swept from our hills and plains; our
low.grade lead and silver mines would
be closed and with other kindred puf'
suits would disappear from the INDUS
trial life of Utah. We condemn me
inconsistency of those of our fellow
citizens who, appealing to the Repup-
lican party to protect their lead, sli'
yer, iron ore, wool and other interests
from disaster by threatened Democ'
ratio legislation, go to the polls am
with their votes support the party
from whose acts they ask the Repuo'
llcan party TO protect them. We acE
them IL such course is consistent
with straightforward political action
and lust to the people among whom
they live and the state in whose ma
terial welfare they have common
interest.
uphoId the Constitution
4. We regard the preservation OF
representative institutions and an
untrammeled judiciary one of the si-
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 III
dependent judiciary 1t provides for'
they believe these to be sufficient for
all our social and political needs. tn "
regard all attempts to subvert or
change these institutions by FORMS
pnd methods unknown TO the constltu'
ton as revolutionary and destructive
of the fundamental principles upon
which our form Of government is
based.
The Titanic Disaster
s.. 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 .
gislation to insure hereafter every
possible protection to the lives OF
those who may have to travel upon
the seas.
For Veterans
6. We deem il to be our duty on
every possible occasion TO express our
appreciation and regard for the IA
triotic men who risked their lives in
defense of our country. We holC
them in grateful remembrance and
favor legislation that will place ey.

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