Republican Platform

The platform as adopted by the
republican convention at Albuquer-
que Wednesday follows:
We renew our allegiance TO the
great constructive principles of the
republican party and approve the
platform adopted by the national
republican convention at Chicago
In June of this year.
We STAND ror the Americanism
of Washington, Lincoln and Roose-
welt as opposed to the Internal on
alism of Woodrow Wilson. We
are opposed to any international
arrangement which Will surrender
any part of our constitution, our
free institutions or our national
sovereignty, or that will send
American boys and American treas
ure TO fight the present>and future
wars in other parts of the world al
the dictate of foreign council. TO
which policy of Woodrow Wilson
Governor Cox stands pledged by his
own statement as follows;
What he promised, l shall
If elected, endeavor with all my
strength to give"
Which means: To give the SOW
ereignty and the independence of
the United States; to give to Euro
pean powers control over the
army and navy of the United
States; to give Great Britain six
votes to Americas one in the
league of nations; to give the Mon
roe doctrine into Europe's keeping;
to give to alien counsels a power
over war and peace that the con-
stitution now limits exclusively 10
the congress; to give to Europes
Imperialism the sanction, the bless
ing, and the protection of the blood
and the wealth of the United
States.
We believe in the establishment
of an association of nations for
conference and an International
court under an arrangement which
will preserve intact the American
constitution, her institutions and
ser national sovereignty, and will
tend to promote peace and not
breed future wars.
Waste Condemned.
We condemn the one-man auto
cratic administration of Woodrow
Wilson and the extravaganza and
waste of his administration and we
particularly commend the action of
the republican congress which re-
duced the estimates and demands
of the Wilson administration and
it's departments and bureaus by
the enormous sum $2,710, 1850,
saving that sum to the taxpayers
of the country.
Officials Praised.
We commend and endorse the
splendid, efficient and patriotic
service rendered in the congress of
the United States by Hon. A. b.
Fall and Hon. B. c. Hernandez.
We commend the efficient and
business administration of the
affairs of the state government by
the republican state officers.
Economy Urged.
We stand for the strictest econo-
omy in state. county and munici-
pal government consistent with the
public welfare and we recommend
the abolition of all unnecessary
public offices. We commend the
republican legislature for the steps
taken in the introduction of a state
budget and favor the extension of
an effective budget system for the
state, county and municipal gov
ernments by such legislation and
constitutional amendment as may
be required. -s
Welcome Women.
We welcome the newly enfran-
chised voters TO participation in
government affairs and point with
pride to the fact that the nineeenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States was submitted by a
republican congress and ratified by
twenty-nine republican states out
of the necessary thirty-six We APP
prove the submission by the legis-
lature to the voters of this state
of an amendment to the constiu-
ton granting to women the right to
hold all public offices.
Health Department.
We call attention to the fact
that 1t was a republican state adj
ministration prompted by a desire
to better conditions surrounding
our people which created a state
department of health. child well
fare board and a girls welfare
board, and we favor the continued
