GREAT LAKES WATERWAY

"Fully realizing the vital Importance
of transportation in both cost and
service to all our people we favor the
construction of the most feasible
waterways from the great lakes TO the
Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of
Mexico, and the Improvement and de-
velOpment of rivers, harbors, and
waterways, inland and coastwise, to
the fullest extent justified by the pres
ent and potent tonnage available.
1--WE favor a comprehensive survey
of the conditions under which the
flood waters of the Colorado river may
be controlled and utilized for the bene-
fit of the people of the states which
border thereon.
"The federal water power act estab-
fishes a national water power policy
and the way has thereby been opened
for the greatest water power develop
ment in history under conditions which
preserve Initiative of our people. yet
protect the public interest.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21

level of life for the average family and
to prevent a lowering to the levels OF
economic life prevailing in other lands
1T Is the history of the nation that
the protective tariff system has ever
justified itself by restoring confidence,
promoting Industrial activity and en-
ployment, enormously increasing our
purchasing power, and bringing In
creased prosperity to all our people.
Raises Standard Of Living
"The tariff protection to our indus
try works for increased consumption
of domestic agricultural products by
an employed population instead OF one
unable to purchase the necessities of
life. Without the strict maintenance
of the tariff principle our farmers will
need always to compete with cheap
lands and cheap labor abroad and with
lower standards of living.
THE enormous value of the pro-
tectlve principle has once more been
demonstrated by the emergency tariff
act of 1921 and the tariff act or 1922.
I'VE assert our belief in the elastic
provision adopted by congress In the
tariff act of 1922, providing for
method of readjusting the tariff rates
and the classificatlons in order to meet
changing economic conditions when
such changed conditions are brought to
the attention of the President by COM
plant or application.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
ORDERLY GOVERNMENT

"The Republican party reaffirms its
devotion to orderly government unuer
the guarantees embodied in the Con-
stItution of the United States. we
recognize the duty of constant Vlgh-
ance to preserve at all times cleah
and honest government and to Drlhs
to the bar of justice every dehler Oh
the public service In or out of office.
dishonesty and corruption are not
political attributes. The recent con-
gressional Investigations have exposed
instances In both parties of men In
public office who are willing to sell
official favor and men out of office
who are willing to buy them In some
cases with money and in others with
influence.
1.-THE sale of influence resulting from
the holding of public position, or from
association while in public office, or
the use of such influence for private
gain or advantage, is Il perversion OF
public trust and prejudlcal to good
government 1t should be condemned
by public opinion and forbidden by
law.
1--WE demand the speedy, fearless
and impartial prosecution of all wrong
doers, without regard for political. af-
filiation or position; but we declare
no greater wrong can be committed
against the people than the attempt
to destroy their trust in the great body
of their public servants. Admitting
the deep humiliation which all good
citizens share, that our public life
should have harbored some dishonest
men, we assert that these undesirables
do not represent the standard of our
national integrity.
1.-THE government ut Washington is
served today by thousands of earnest,
conscientious and faithful officials and
employees in every department. 1t Is
grave wrong against these patriotic
men and women to strive indiscrimi-
nately to besmirch the names of the
innocent and undermine the confidence
of the people in their government. 1t
is even a graver wrong when this Is
done for partisan purposes or for self
ish exploitation.
1.-The Republican administration has
already taken charge of the prosecu-
ton of official derellction, and 1t will
continue the work of discovering and
Furnishing but it will not confuse the
innocent with the guilty, nor prostitute
for party advantage the enforcement
of the law.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
CONSERVATION

1--WE believe In the development, eff
fective and efficient, whether of oil,
timber, coal or water power resources
of this government, only as needed
and only after the public need has be-
come n matter Of public record, con-
trolled with a scrupulous regard and
ever vigilant safeguards against waste,
speculation and monopoly.
1.-The natural resources of the coun-
try belong to all the people, and are
n part of an estate belonging to gen.
erations yet unborn. The government
policy should be to safeguard, develop
and utilize these possessions. The
conservation policy of the nation orig
mated with the Republican party un-
der the inspiration of Theodore Roose-
welt. We hold 1t a privilege of the
Republican party to build as a me-
mortal to him on the foundation which
he laid
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
LABOR

''The increasing stress of Industrial
life, the constant and necessary eff
forts, because of world competition. to
increase production and decrease costs
has made it specially incumbent on
those in authority to protect labor
from undue eXactlons.
1--WE commend congress for having
recognized this possibility in its prompt
adoption of the recommendation of
President Coolidge for a constitution
al amendment authorizing congress to
legislate on the subject of child labor
and we urge the prompt consideration
Of that amendment by the legislatures
of the various states.
There is no success great enough
to justify the employment of women
in labor under conditions which will
impair their natural functions.
High Standards for Women.
I'VE favor high standards for wages,
working and living conditions among
the women employed in industry.
I'VE pledge continuance of the
successful efforts of the Republican
administration to eliminate the seven
day, twelve-hour work week, in in
dustry. We regard with satisfaction
the elimination of the twelve-hour day
in the steel industry and the agree
ment eliminating the seven-day work
week of alternate thirteen and eleven
hours, accomplished through the eff
forts Of Presidents Harding and Cool
idge. We declare our faith in the prin-
ciple of the eight-hour day.
1--WE pledge a continuation of the
work of rehabilitating workers in in
dustry as conducted by the federal
board for vocational education and
favor adequate appropriations for this
purpose.
1--WE favor broader and better sys-
TEN of vocational education, a more
adequate system of federal free en-
ployment agencies with facilities for
assisting the movements of seasonal
and migratory labor. including farm
labor, with ample organization for
bringing the man and his job together.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM

Cleveland.-The following is the text
of the Republican platform as adopted
by the convention:
I'VE, the delegates of the Repub-
llcan party in national convention as
sembled, bow our head in reverent
memory of Warren G. Harding.
"A staunch Republican, he was first
of all true patriot, who gave un-
stintingly of himself during trying
and critical period of our national life
His conception and successful di-
rection of the Limitation Of armapents
conference in Washington was an
achievement which advanced the world
along the path toward peace.
"As delegates of the Republican par
ty we share in the national thanks
giving that in the great emergency
created by the death of our great
leader there stood forth fully equipped
to be his successor one whom we had
nominated as vice president-CalVin
Coolldge-who as vice president and
President, by his every act has Just-
fed the faith and confidence which
he has won from the nation.
Financial Chaos lnherlteo.
"When the Republican adminlstra-
tion took control of the government
in 1921 there were 4,500,000 unem-
ployed; industry and commerce were
stngnant; agriculture was prostrate; I;
business was depressed; government
bonds were selling below their par
values.
peace was delayed; misunderstand-
ing and friction characterized our re-
lations abroad. There was lack OF
faith in the administration of govern
ment resulting in n growing feeling
of distrust in the very principles on
which our institutions are founded.
To-day industry and commerce are
active; public and private credits are
sound. we have made peace; we have
taken the first step toward disarma-
ment and strengthened our friendship
with the world powers; our relations
with the rest of the world are on n
firmer basis our position was never
better understood, our foreign policy
never more definite and consistent
The tasks to which we have put our
hands are completed.
"Time has been too short for the
correction of all the Ills we received
us a heritage from the last Democratic
administration, and the notable ac-
complishments under Republican rule
warrant us in appealing to the coun-
try with entire confidence.
I'VE demand and the people of the
United States have n right to demand
rigid economy in government.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
IMMIGRATION

1.-The unprecedented living condi-
tions in Europe following the World
war created condition by which we
were threatened with mass immigra-
ton that would have seriously dis
turbed our economic life. The law re-
Gently enacted is designed to protect
the inhabitants of our country, not
only the American citizen, but also
the allen already with us who is seek
ing to secure an economic foothold for
himself and family from the competi-
tion that would come from unrestricted
immigration. The administrative fea-
lures of the law represent a great con-
structive advance, and eliminate the
hardships suffered by immigrants un-
der the emergency statute.
1--WE favor the adoption of methods,
which will exercise helpful influence
among the foreign born population and
provide for the education of the alien
in our language, customs, ideals and
standards of life. We favor the i'm
provement of naturalization laws.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
HIuhways.

1.-THE federal aid road act adopted
by the Republican congress in 1921,
has been of inestimable value to the
development of the highway system of
the several states and of the nation.
We pledge a continuation Of this pol
icy of federal cooperation with the
states In highway building.
1--WE favor the construction of roads
and trails In our national forests nee
essary to the protection and utilization.
In appropriations, therefore, the taxes
which these lands would pay If tax
able should be considered as con-
trolling factOr.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
GOVERNMENT CONTROL

THE prosperity of the American ma
tion rests on the vigor Of private initi-
ative which has bred spirit of In
dependence and self reliance. The Re-
publican party stands now as always
against all attempts to put the. govern
ment into business.
American industry should not be
compelled to struggle against govern
ment competition. The right of the
government to regulate. supervise and
control public utilities and public in
terests we believe should be strength
ened, but we are firmly opposed to the
naturalization or government owner
ship of public utilities.
Plank on Coal Prices.
"The price and a constant supply
of this essential commodity are of vital
interest to the public. The govern
ment has no constitutional power to
regulate prices, but can bring Its in
fiuence to bear byS the powerful in
strument afforded by full publicity.
When through Industrial conflict, its
supply is threatened, the President
should have authority to appoint u
commission to act as mediators and
MS a medium for voluntary arbitration.
In the event of q strike the control
of distribution must be invoked to pre-
vent profiteering.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21

vocate appropriations sufficient to
provide for the training of all men,
bers of the National Guard. the citi-
zens military training camps, the re-
serve officers training camps, and the
reserves who may offer themselves for
service. We pledge ourselves to round
out and maintain the navy to the fuii
strength provided the United States
by the letter and spirit of the nmitn-
ton of ornaments conference.
Anti-Lynchlng Law.
eve urge the congress to enact at
the earliest possible date a federal
antI-lynchlng law so that the full In
fiuence of the federal government may
be welded to extermlnate this hide
ous crime. We believe that much OF
the misunderstanding which now ex-
lists can be eliminated by humane ana
sympathetic study of its causes. Inc
President has recommended the crea-
tion of commission for the investi-
CATION of social and economic condi-
tions and the promotion of mutual
understanding and confidence.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
THE TARIFF

ave reaffirm our belief in the pro-
tective tnrir to extend needed pro-
lection to our productive Industries.
We believe In protection as national
policy, with due and equal regard to
all sections and to agriculture, In
dustries and occupations. 1t Is only
by adherence to such policy that the
well being OF consumers can be safe
guarded, that there can be assured to
American agriculture, to American
labor, to American manufacturers a
return to perpetuate American stand
ards Of life.
"a protective tariff Is designed to
support the high American economic
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
WORLD WAR VETERANS

1--WE reaffirm the admiration and
gratitude we feel for soldiers and
sailors.
THE Republican party pledges a
continual and increasing solicitude for
all those suffering any disability as n
result of service to the United States
in time of war. No country and no
administration has ever shown a more
generous disposition in the care of its
disabled, or more thoughtful considera-
tion in providing a sound administra-
ton for the solution of the many prob
lens involved In making intended bene-
fits fully, directly and promptly avail
able to the veterans.
"The confusion, lnefficlency and NAL
administration existing heretofore
since the establishment of this govern
ment agency has been cured and plans
are being actively made looking to a
further Improvement in the operation
of the bureau by the passage of new
legislation. The basic statute has been
so llberalized as to bring within its
terms 100000 additional beneficiaries.
The privilege of disqualification in gov
ernment hospitals, as recommended by
President Coolidge. has been granted
to all veterans irrespective of the
origin of disability and over S50,000.-
600 has been appropriated for hospital
construction which will provide suffi-
cient beds to care for all.
Proof of Party's Intent.
Appropriations totalling over ST.
1O0,OO0,0O0 made by the Republican
congress for the care of the disabled
evidences the unmistakable purpose of
the government not to consider costs
when the welfare of these men is at
stake. No legislation for the benefit
of the disabled soldiers proposed dur
ing the last four years by veterans
organizations has failed to receive con-
sideration.
1--WE pledge ourselves to meet the
problems of the future affecting the
care of our wounded and disabled in a
spirit of liberality, and with that
Thoughtful consideration which will en-
able the government to give to the in
dividual veterans that full measure of
care guaranteed by an effective ad-
mnistration machinery to which his
patriotic service and sacrifices entltle
him
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
FOREIGN DEBTS

"In fulfillment of our solemn pledge
in the national platform of 1926. we
have steadfastly refused to consider
the cancellation of foreign debts. Our
attitude has not been that of an op-
pressive creditor seeking immediate re-
turn and ignoring existing financial
conditions, but has been based on the
conviction that a moral obligation such
as was incurred should not be disre
garded.
1--WE stand for settlements with all
debtor countries similar in character
to our debt agreement with Great
Britain. That settlement, achieved un-
der Republican administration, was
the greatest International financial
transaction in history. Under the
agreement the United States now re
ceives an annual return on S4,600,000,
600 owing to us by Great Britain, with
definite obligation of ultimate pay
ment In full.
"The justness of the basis employed
has been formally recognized by other
debtor nations.
Great nations cannot recognize or
admit the principles of Reputation. To
do so would undermine the integrity
essential for international trade, com
merce and credit. Thirty-five per cent
of the total foreign debt is now In
process of liquidation.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
MERCHANT MARINE

THE Republican party stands for
a strong and permanent merchant ma
rlne built by Americans, owned by
Americans and manned by Americans,
to secure the necessary contact with
world markets for our surplus agrlcul-
tural products and manufactures; to
protect our shippers and importers
from exorbitant ocean freight rates
and to become a powerful arm of our
national defense.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-06-21
LAW ENFORCEMENT

1--WE must have respect for law. We
must have observance of law. We
must have enforcement of law. The
very existence of the government de-
pends on this. The substitution of pri-
vate will for public law is only another
name for oppression, disorder, anarchy
and the mob rule.
every government depends on the
loyalty and respect of its citizens.
Violations of the law weaken and
threaten government itself. No hon
est government can condone such ac-
tions on the part of its citizens. The
Republican party pledges the full
strength of the government for the
maintenance of these principles by the
enforcement of the constitution and of
all laws.
Greet Women Delegates.
1--WE extend our greetings to the
women delegates who, for the first
time under federal authorization, sit
with us in full equality. The Repub-
lican party from the beginning has
espoused the cause of woman suffrage.
and the presence of these women dele
gates signifies to many here the COM
pletion of a task undertaken years
ago. We welcome them not as assist
ants or as auxiliary representatives,
but as co-partners In the great po-
litical work in which we are engaged,
and we believe that the actual part
nership in party councils should be
made more complete.
"The Republican party reaffirms Its
unyielding devotion to the Cons.itu-
tion and to the guarantees of civil,
political and religious liberty therein
contained.
Ask G. o. p. Congress.
with us parties are essential in
strumentaities of government. Our
government functions best when the
Chief Executive is supported by a ma
jority in the congress of the same DO
litical faith, united by party principles
and able by concerted action to carry
out in an orderly way n definite, con-
sistent and well balanced program.
''In urging the people to elect Re
publican President and vice president
we urge them to elect to the senate
and house of representatives men and
women who believe in the Republican
principles acknowledge party respon-
sibility, and who can be relied on to
keep faith with the people by carrying
out the program which the Republican
party presents and pledges itself 70
fulfill"
