REPUBLICAN,
Platform

The Republican party OF Cache
rounty. in County Convention as
semlbed, reaffirm and endorse the
platforms adopted by both the Ma
tional and State Republican Conven-
tons.
We heartily endorse and approve
the record of our distinguished SEN
ators in Congress and representative
Joseph Howell and rejoice in the
honor and distinction recently be-
slowed on Hon. George Sutherland
in his election to the Presidency of
the American Bar Association.
We point with pride to the excel
lent record of Governor William
Spry and especially to the manner
in which he has upheld the honor
and dignity Of the great State Of
Utah, and served notice on the
President of the United States and
the whole world that the laws OF
the State of Utah must be enforced
egardless of threats and intimida-
I lions and personal sacr nee.
We are told that the present Ma
tional Democratic Administration
has kept us out of war. We are in
no sense advocates Of war, but we
cannot refrain from decrying a
Peace" that has cost the United
States the lives of more citizens and
the expenditure of more money than
was sacrificed in the entire Spanish
American conflict.
In 1898 we did great service to
humanity and triumphed in glory.
Today in two interventions in Mex
leo we have signally failed to &C
complish any service to. either Mex
leo or mankind, and have brought
upon our government the contempt
of the entire civilized world. We
repudiate the National Democratic
administration in refusing to protect
the lives and the property of its
citizens and to maintain the dignity
and honor enjoyed by our beloved
government since the Revolution.
We hold that firm dignified ad
ministration of the affairs of gov
erment Is surer preventative of
war. than a policy which vassalates
and shifts, never sure of its ground.
AFRAID to maintain its inherent
rights. Repeated threats and ultim-
atums, unbacked and unenforced by
the nation which makes them. invite
the infringements of national rights
and are the forerunners of war.
We deprecate the snap-judgment
and hold up class legislation Of the
Democratic Congress and President
In passing the eight hour law.
The intricate problems existing be-
tween capital and labor deserves a
careful and painstaking considera-
ZION at the hands OF the government
