REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

Following Is the platform adopted
at the Utah Republican state conven-
ton, held In Price, May 3, 1920:
Utah Republicans, through their
chosen representatives In convention
assembled, once again declare their
abiding faith In the manifest destiny
Of the great republic, pledge them
selves anew to the cause Of preserv-
ing and pcrpctuating the established
Institutions Of government peculiar to
American sol and the inherent spirit
Of it's people, and renew their allegi-
anre 60 The time honOred principles Of
the Republican party, under whose
rule the American people achieved
their true greatness AMI enjoyed un-
parnlleled prosperity, peace and con-
putment nj home, and the confidence
AMI respect Of all the people Of the
world.
congressman Endorsed.
We indorse without qualification the
courage of the Republican members
VI congress who refused to cOmpro-
mise the honor and integrity Of our
country by agreeing to the proposal
30 subject 10 without recourse to the
siIl Of a composite foreign sovereign
fy, and congratulate ourselves and fell
bw countrymen upon the fact that,
seraase these certain men stood true
81 ih. best traditions OF the republic.
20 foreign f,tters bind this nation to
any uncertain or iCnobie obligations,
action In all International affairs still
Sesides In and rests with the sober
judgment and clear conscience OF the
American people themselves.
To the end that all existing interna-
sicnal complications and controversies
may be honorably adJusted--in 50 far,
ct least, as our own country Is con-
rerbed, we urge speedy declaration
81 peace with those certain nations
against whom we are In fact no longer
NJ war. and the immediate resumption
81 friendly and helpful relations with
ail deserving peoples, regardless Of
past differences or associations.
Mexican Policy Scored.
In this connection we do not hest.
iatc to charge the outrageous loss OF
American lives and property in Mex
Of the Democratic administration, and
ac,nand OF Il that hcnceforth no eff
fort shall be omitted to safeguard the
PERSONAL and property rights Of Amer
lean citizens In thnt country and to
secure fun PREPARATION for such losses
already suffered.
We view with grave concern the
scute and widespread state OF domestic
disorder into which we have drifted,
anil charge no small measure of the
responsibility for This unprecedented
md unsafe situation to the dereliction
81 duty und policy of manifest du-
tliciiy On the part of the national
i~nocratic administration.
American Safety Overlooked.
In its somewhat fanciful and far
fetched attempt to make the whole
world safe for democracy, II seems to
nave altogether overlooked the urgent
necessity Of first making America
safe for Americans.
We demand, therefore, that the ma
tiunal authorities direct their lmmedl-
ate and entire attention for time to
tlte internal Ills and evils which now
Reset the country, and spare no time
~ effort In the promotion Of such
y assures and the creating of such
L tncieS us will effectually curb alike
e." greed Of the profiteers, the graft
g. the offlce-holders and those other
s,uister influences and organizations
that would openly violate all personal
and property rights and which seek, In
fact, the very overthrow of the gov
rrnment itself
TO this end we demand the speedy
Deportation of all undesirable aliens
