clares that henceforth its rep
resentatives in the senate and in
congress shall not be bound by
any party caucus on this sub

place on Wednesday afternoon,

REPUBLICAN

Touching on a wide variety Of
subjects the Republican state con-
vention at Reno Tuesday adopted
comprehensive platform in
which immediate construction OF
Boulder Canyon Dam is urged.
The prohibition question was
disposed Of by ratification Of the
national platform plank dealing
with that subject.
The plankS of the platform
touch the following subjects;
HOOVER PRAISED
We recognize in our standard
bearer for the ensuing political
campaign. Herbert c. Hoover, a
peerless constructive genius. advan-
ced political economist, broad
minded humanitarian and lover
of American institutions and prin-
ciples of government, whose name
will be added to the illustrious
line of Republican presidents COM
mencing with that OF Abraham
Lincoln of undying fame.
We congratulate our country on
its good fortune in securing for
its next vice president that stall
wart patroit and experienced states
man. Senator Charles Curtis.
Led by the gallant sons OF
California and Kansas and lighted
bv a charter platform which cam
not be successfully attacked, the
Republican party of the nation
will not slaken in its efforts until
it wins an unprecedented victory
next November.
EFFICIENCY EXTOLLED
The management of our national
finances by Republican admins
trations since 1921 has startled
the world by its efficiency and is
without precendent in the worlds
history. In that short period OF
seven wears the public debt has
been discharged to the extent OF
more than S6.410,0OO,00 refund
ing operations have reduced in
terest charges $275, 100000 a year;
during the same time four sue
cessive tax reduction measures have
become operative laws; the net
effect of these Republican fiscal
policies has saved the American
taxpayerS the sum OF 81 l,8OO,OOO,-
600 a year. Such a stupenduous
result may seem wizardry, but is
a historic fact and we as Re-
publicans challenge even an at
tempt to refute it.
TARIFF
We renew our faith in the pro
tective tariff principle and declare
its iudicious application to Amer
ican industries to be all impor-
tant in sustaining an adequate
compensation for our toilers in all
avenues of employment. in equal
izing the benefits of interdepen-
dent avocations, in a diversificatiou
