noon:
The Republican party, assembled by
it's representatives in national conven-
ton, declares it's unchanging faith in
government of the people, by the peo-
| pie, for the people. We renew our al
legiance to the principles of the Re-
publican institutions established by
the fathers.
I'VE believe in our self-controlled
representative democracy which is a
/ government of laws, not of men, and
in which order is the prerequisite Of
progress. The Republican party will
strive not only in the nation, but in
the several states, to enact the nee
essary legislation to safeguard the
/ public health; to limit effectively the
! labor of women and children and to
! protect wage-earners engaged in dan
| gerous occupations; to enact compre-
| hensive and generous workman's COM
pensation laws in place of the present
wasteful and unjust system of employ
ers' liability; and in all possible ways
to satisfy the just demand of the
people for the study and solution OF
the complex and constantly changing
! problems of social welfare.
"The Republican party reaffirms its
intention to uphold at all times the
authority and integrity Of the courts,
both state and federal, and it will ever
insist that their powers to enforce
/ their process and protect life, liberty
CHI oil H.
violate.
THAT the courts, both federal and
state, may bear the heavy burden laid
upon them to the complete satisfac-
ton Of public opinion we favor legts-
lation to prevent long delays and the
tedious and costly appeals which have
so often amounted to denial of JUS
tice in civil cases and to failure to
| protect the public at large in criminal
cases.
"Since the responsibility OF the jul
dietary is so great, the standards OF
judicial action must be always and
everywhere above suspicion and re-
proach. While we regard the recall
! of Judges as unnecessary and unWise,
we favor such action as may be neces-
sary to simplify the process by which
any Judge who is found to be derelict
/ in his duty may be removed from Of
/ five
Together with peaceful and order
/ ly development at home, the Republi-
can party earnestly favOrs all meas
ures for the establishment and pro-
lection of the peace Of the world, and
/ for the development of closer relations
between the various nations OF the
earth.
'Tt believes most earnestly in the
/ peaceful settlement of international
disputes and in the reference OF all
! iusticiable controversies between ma
tons to an international court Of JUS
tice.
THE Republican party favors the
enactment of legislation supplement-
airy to the existing antitrust act,
which will define as criminal offenses
those specific acts that uniformly
mark attempts to restrain and to
monopolize trade, to the end that
those who honestly intend to obey the
law may have a guide for their &C
ton and that those who aim to v1o-
! late the law may the more surely be
punished.
'In the enforcement and admins
tration of federal laws governing in
terstate commerce and enterprises
impressed with a public use engaged
! therein. there is much that may be
committed to a federal trade commits
sion. thus placing in the hands of an
administrative board many OF the
! functions now necessarily exercised
/ by the courts.
eve reaffirm our belief in a protec-
| tive tariff The protective tariff is so
woven into the fabric of our Industrial
| and agricultural life that to substitute
| for it a tariff for revenue only would
/ destroy many industries and throw
millions of our people out of employ
ment. The products of the farms and
! of the mine should receive the same
! measure of protection as other prod
| ucts Of American labor.
! 1--WE hold that the import duties
/ should be high enough while yielding
! a sufficient revenue to protect ade-
! quately American industries and
wages. Some of the existing import
| duties are too high and should be re-
duced. REIMBURSEMENT should be made
from time to time to conform to chang
! ing conditions and to reduce excessive
rates, but without injury to any Amer
lean industry. To accomplish this cor
rect information is indispensable. This
! information can best be obtained by
! an expert commission, as the large
volume of useful facts contained in
the recent reports of the tariff board
has demonstrated.
1.-The pronounced feature of modern
| industrial life is it's enough diversifi-
cation. 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 it's creation OF
tariff board, it's recognition Of this sit
uation, and it's determination to be
