The Republican Platform

We favor immediate repeal OF
the Federal Reserve Act and the
substitution of u central bank
controlled by Standard Oil.
We demand prompt removal of
the income tax from the statute
books and the restoration OF a
system of taxation which relieves
the rich of, and places upon the
poor, the heavy cost of govern
ment.
We insist upon early elimina-
ton of the Federal Trade Com
mission, so that the great trusts
may resume the practice of un-
tair and cut-thrOat competition
without let or hlndrance.
We hereby declare tor the en-
actment OF a drastic law prUnl-
biting any pubic mention OF the
great measures for the develop.
ment OF agriculture, of commerce
and Industry put In force under
Democratic administration, be-
cause discussion OF these matterz
tends to make votes for Wood
row Wilson.
We point with sorrow and
sinking hearts to the unprecenl.
ed prosperity OF the United
States ana we hereby solemnly
swear that not one nlckle OF 1t is
attributable to Democratic ad-
ministratlon, but that our good
fortune Is entirely and wholly
due to the eclipse of the moon

| MEMBER COLORADO EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
AS a Republican Sees 1t.

To the Editor Of the Arvada,
Colorado, Enterprise.
Dear Sir:
AS a stranger within your
gates, a new voter in Colorado
but an old time Republican Of
the Oliver p. Morton school,
having voted for Grant and for
each of his more or less illustri-
Gus Republican successors to
date, never an Office holder,
neither a periodical office seeker,
will you please bear with me
while | submit the statement
and comment below:
For my own personal satisfac-
ton and for the information of
some known delegates who will
shortly proceed to Chicago to
participate in the selection of a
Republican candidate for the Of
hce of Chief Magistrate of the
Nation, | have for some time
been frankly lnterrogating the
farming and ranch element,
with whom | mingle much, men
who do the real voting later on,
as to their choice of a man to oc-
cupy that exalted place, and of
a long list SO interviewed the
writer finds that seventy-fve
per cent of them do not only not
have an impelllng or irresistible
inclination towards Mr.. Roose-
welt, but like himself would not
now vote for him, not under any
condition.
We believe Mr.. Roosevelt to
be unduly concerned as to perils
confronting the country, as indi-
Gated in his late modest Detroit
speech, whittier he went presum-
ably to look after his Ford fen
ces. We believe HIM to be over
sohcltous Tor the public veal.
We believe that when four years
ago he SHE'D his top piece into
the ring, killing latteriy by his
ACTON IN cooperation with some
tWO-by-lour Governors. not only
his supposed trusted friend, but
as well also the goose that laid
the golden egg for and made
him all that he has ever at best
been, he then divorced himself
absolutely from true Republi.
cans, if not indeed from al
gratefully inclined men.
Mr.. Roosevelt's political de
pertinent and hlppity-hop in lat,
years, his spectacular and polite
wandcrlngs with guns and dogs
and prleStly association through
out strange lands searching tol
strange birds aud new rivers

in Jefferson County is as useless
as a fifth wheel to an aptomo-
bile since an all wise and unerr-

and cast the superintendent in

Almost Forgotten Name.

Have you ever heard of the state OF
Kenawha? No. it is not an Indian prin
cipality but the name applied in the
original ordinance Of separation, to
what is now West Virginia, the latter
name having been decided on finally
by the convention which framed the
constitution.

isfy his greed for power or his
desire for an attractive place
and pose somewhere right down
near the fOotlights.
We believe that if to rejuven-
ate the Republican Party it be
required of US that we now turn
to its wrecker and parricide, it
were a thousand times better
that we continue the best Demo-
crat within the history of that
Party, in the person Of Wood
row Wilson.
If to save the country from
the perils of which this sagacious
alarmist is at this particular time
so Justify croaking, his master
full leadership be indispensable,
1t were better that it be not saw
ed, that the Biblical milestone be
cast about our necks, and that
as of old there be one more copi-
GUS downpouring of the elements
for forty days and forty nights,
and that the fellow from Oyster
Bay be debarred from ark privi-
leges along with the rest of us.

The greatest thing the Govern
ment has ever done tor the busl-
ness men in the history of the
country was the enactment of
the currency law. 1t was some
thing the Republicans had talk
cd about for twenty years, but
1t was not until the Democrats
came into power that it went on
the statutes books. Now, under
the leadership of Woodrow Will
son, Congress is taking the final
steps in establishing a rational
system of rural credits. 1t will
do for the farmers what the cur
rency law has done for the busi-
ness men. Republicans also
talked about rural credits. But
there was no action until the
Democrats took hold.
True to the highest concep-
tons Of American craftsmanship,
a worthy eXemplar of that in
stinct for freedom which guided
the fathers in the foundation of
this Republic, unwilling to abate
one word Of the charter of hu-
man liberties; possessing both
the courage of patience and the
patience OF true courage: one
man today stands out among all
his fellows of the world as the
spokesman of the eternal princi-
pies of human right and divine
justice. Americans are proud
that he is their President and
they will not cast hlm aside for
another.

Portland, May i7,--An ex-conylct
was sought by police and deputy
sheriffs throughout Oregon today In
the belief that he was the hend who
swung q li-pound sledge- hammer
and crushed tho skull OF Mrs, Helen
Jennings while she slept Monday
night.
Mrs. jennings body was discovered
In her home between Tualatin and
Sherwood. Is miles from Portland.
late yesterday. Outside tho house
stood the automobile OF Fred Ris,-
man. jitney driver. The machine
was blood-soaked. and RIstman was
missing, Detectives believe the mur-
derer killed Ristman and hid his body
on the theory that dead men tell no
tales
The man sought Is known to have
tried to force his attention ON Mrs.
Jennings. She frequently expressed
fear OF him.
II wouldn't have him angry at me
for anything In the world" she told
u neighbor recently.
Mrs, Jennings was 4 years old.
She was the divorced wife OF OrvIlle

ated from him.
She was tho daughter OF the late
Captain George A. Gore Mrs. j. II.
Wilson. OF Salem. and Mrs, Il. II.
Robinson, OF Tnalatin were sisters.
Robbery was not the motive. officers
are convinced. The murder appar-
emily was carefully planned. Al s
p. m Monday a man hired Ristman
to take him to Sherwood. He car
ried a bag OF tools and said he was
a plumber.
Ristman failed to return His wife
and friends were alarmed and started
u search yesterday. At Sherwood
they found no trace OF him. Return
ing. they saw his automobile near
the home OF Mrs. Jennings. Finding
nobody about the place, they looked
into the machine and saw that II was
spattered with blood. They rushed to
Tualatln and summoned officers.
The door OF the house was broken
open. Mrs. Jennings body was lying
in bed. A pillow had been thrown

hammer was beside the bed A single
blow, a terrific one. had crushed her
