We, the Republicans of Wyom-I
ing, in convention assembled, again
renew our allegiance to the policies
and principles of the grand old
party and point with pride to the
leaders, dead and living, whose lives
and achievements have beer the
bulwark of the republic and the
very essence of American history.
1t is safe to say that after eight
ear of uninterrupted Democratic
control the Republicans found the
nation in a chaos and have returned
it to a plane of wisdom and econ
omy. A comprehensive budget sys-
TEN has been adopted our
internal tax laws have been so ad-
justed that the people are relieved
from no end of annoyance. The
revenue laws are being still further
revised in the present congress and
greater relief is promised the people.
Integrity of Government
Any wrong-doing or corruption
must be sought out and destroyed.
The senate investigation ordered by
Republican and Democratic senators
alike, disclosed facts upon which
the president has acted in a man
ner to insure the impartial, ener-
getic and orderly prosecution in the
courts of my n guilty of wrong
doing and the righting of any wrong
done the government. He said hat
no one shall be shielded because he
is a Republican, and no one pros
ecuted because he is a Democrat.
His calm resolution, quiet dignity
Inc firm insistence on orderly JUS
tice stand out in happy contrast to
the unfair. d~isorderly and ~demogogic
attempt to destroy the confidence of
the people in their public servants,
which has impeded the public bus
mess, insulted the intelligence of
the people and lowered the dignity
and standing of the senate.
The Tariff
The protective system has once
more justified itself by restoring
confidence. promoting industrial ac-
tivity and employment and enor-
mously increasing our purchasing
power, all of which are reflected in
our great volume of production and
in maximum peace-time exports and
imports.
High wages and steady employ
ment in the industrial centers have
resulted in an increased domestic
consumption of food products which
has largely counterbalanced any loss
of foreign markets resulting from
depressed world conditions.
We endorse the flexible features
of the tariff act of 1922 as laying
the foundation for future scientific
tariff making.
Immigration -
We commend the Republican con
gress for its stand in restricting
immigration. believing that those
who seek the benefit of our free
institutions should prove them
selves worthy before entering the
ports.
Highways
We recommend a continuance of
the policy iuaugaurated and carried
forward by a Republican admins
tration on highway construction
and maintenance. believing Thai it
tends to a reduction of the cost of
marketing farm and ranch products
and transportation generally.
Labor and Employment
The Republican party took over
the federal government at a time
when Samuel Gompers estimated
there were five million workmen
seeking employment. Today labor
is fully engaged at a compensation
that places it on a vastly higher
plane than that of other nations of
the earth. The Republican party
is the traditional friend of labor and
its Legislation will reflect further
beneficial laws in its interest if en-
trusted with power.
Minority Rule
Under Il representative form of
government in which political
parties rule. the majority must con
troll. We condemn the action of
small blocs and minorities who de
feat the will of the people, and who
evade all responsibility to the party
electing them.
Relief of Agriculture
The Importance of the farmer and
stockmen is recognized. If Wyo-
ming is to continue to prosper the
ranch and the farm must have
proper recognition from the legis-
lator in both the state and national
