PLATFORM ADOPTED.
/. The platform adopted was very brief
ore. avoiding details and commenting
President Taft's administration as "able
and conservative" while referring to
Roosevelts seven years in the Presi
dency as record of achievement with
out parallel in our generation. The plat
form in full is as follows:
We, the delegates of the Republican
party of Maryland, in convention assem-
bled, declare anew our faith in the great
principles of the Republican party, which
for more than 80 years won for it the
confidence and support of the people OF
the nation.
We reafiirm and adopt the declaration
of principles and policies as contained
in the Republican national platform of
1908, and declare that all of the great
questions which legally affect the pros
perity and happiness of the American
people can best he solved in accordance
with the principles expressed in that
platform under the guidance of the Re-
publican party.
We commend the able and conserva-
tive administration of President Taft;
his inhexible and patriotic purpose in
upholding the Constitution of the United
States, his unyielding enforcement of
the law, and the sincere patriotism which
has dominated all of his official acts.
We commend the wise, able and sue
cessful administration OF Governor
Goldsborough, who has given to the state
the services of a wise head and an, hon
est heart, whose faithful administration
of the duties and functions of the great
Office to which he was elected have been
so well and successfully performed as to
reflect great credit upon the Republican
party, and won for him the approval and
commentator of the people of this state,
irrespective OF party af1iliation.
The record of achievement of Theo-
dore Roosevelt during the seven years
that he filled the great Office of president
of the United States is without parallel
in our generation, and justifies our firm
belief that should he be reelected presi-
dent the splendid Amercanism and the
executive initiative which so emint ntly
distinguished his term of Office will fur
ther serve to strengthen our free insti-
tutions, to increase the prosperity and
enhance the prestige of the American
people.
AS an exponent of the principles of the
Republican party, we commend to the
people of Maryland Theodore Roose
welt, and obeying the clear mandate OF
the Republican voters and of the law OF
this state. we pledge him our loyal and
| undivided support for the Republican
| nomination for president of the United
-tates.
