this 26th day of December, 1918, pur-
suant to law, do hereby make and
principles:
We endorse the administration of
Governor F. NJ Byrne aus wise, fimn,
honest and courageous. The tax com
mission appointed by him and acting
/. under the authority granted by the
Law enacted hast winter, has brought
credit to his administration and rend-
erred invaluable service to the state
by requiring all property to be as
sassed at it's FUN cash value as pro-
vided in the constitution.
We commend the state administra-
ton for the care and thoroughness
with which it is transacting the public
business and guarding the public ex-
pendltures.
We endorse what In recent years
have become known and defined in
the public mind as distinctly pro-
gressive policies. upheld by con
stSntly growing progressive element
in the republican party.
We endorse Senators Crawford and
Sterling and Congressman Dillon for
Identifying themselves with other pro
gressive republican members of the
senate and house of representatives

We favor the enactment of law
providing for the nomination of presi-
dential candidates by direct party
primaries.
We insist that the republican party
shalt be in truth and fact a progress

We further insist that in it's plat
form, and policies, and the legislation

stand a's Lincoln stood. for a govern
m1nt Of the people, by the people am
for the people.
We also favor the enactment of a
law by congress creating system
of r,rral credits which will enable the
farmers of the United States to bor-
row money upon farm securities at
less rate of Interest than. they are
obliged TO pay under the present sys-'
tenn.

ciples, for a progressive organi 1ation
of the republican party, and for the

his service in securing the passage
Of the law prohibiting federal courts
from enjoining state officials and
boards, without notice, from enforc-
ing state statutes and administrative
orders, promulgated under state laws.
We recommend a simpler, more d.
rect, and less expensive plan for the
expression of the public will through
the primary election than the law
now i'm operation.
The contest for fair ana sasonable
freight and passenger rates must be
continued until such rates and charges
are fairly and eQuitably established
on the basis of a fair return on the
actual value of the property employ
ed after paying maintenance and op-
Grating expenses.
The business of telegraph, tele-
phone, express and sleeping car
companies should be regulated, con-
trolted and their charges limited on
the same basis as indicated herein
for railroads.
It is hereby further resolved that
the administration Of the Honorable
F. NJ. Byrne and the able service of
Senator Coe l. Crawford is hereby
endorsed, and we demand their re-
nomination; and we hereby instruct
our Stahe Proposal Committeeman to
secure, as far as possible. the in
corporation Of the principles herein
set forth into the state platform.
