REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM

The Republican party, In national
convention assembled, presents to the
people of the nation this platform of
its principles, based on a record of its
accomplishments, and asks and awaits
a new vote of confidence. We reaf.
firm our devotion to the Constitution
of the United States and the prin.
ciples and institution of the Amer
lean system of representative govern.
ment
We indorse without qualification the
record of the Coolidge administration
The record of the Republican party is
record of advancement of the ma
ton.
Nominations of Republican national
conventions have for ffty-two of the
seyenty-tWo years since the creation
of our party have been the Chief Execu-
tiyes of the United States. Under Re.
publican inspiration and largely under
Republican executive direction the con
tinent has been bound with steel rails,
the oceans and great rivers have Deen
joined by canals. waterways have
been deepened and widened for ocean
commerce, and, with all. high Amer
lean standard of wage and living has
been established.
BY unwavering adherence to sound
principles, through the wisdom of Re
publican policies, and the capacity of
Republican administration, the foun.
dations have been laid and the great
ness and prosperity of the country
firmly established
Never has the soundness of Repub
liean policies been more amply demon
strated and the Republican genius fer
administration been better exempt.
fed than during the last five years
under the leadership of President
Coolidge.
Pledge Coolidge Policies.
No better guarantee of prosperity
and contentment among all our people
at home, no more reliable warranty
of protection and promotion of Amer
lean interests abroad can be given
than the pledge TO maintain and con-
tinue the Coolidge policies. This
promise we give and will faithfully
perform.
Under this administration the coun
try has been lifted from the depths
of a great depression to a level of
prosperity. Economy has been raised
to the dignity of a principle of gov
eminent, standard of character in
public service has been established I'M
der the Chief Executive which has
given to the people of the country
feeling of stability and confidence so
all have felt encouraged to proceed
on new undertakings in trade and
commerce. A foreign policy based on
the traditional American position and
carried on with vision and steadfast-
ness has extended American influ-
ence throughout the world and every
where promoted and protected Amer
lean interests.
The mighty contribution to general
well being which can be made by 4
government controlled by men Of char
acter and courage, whose abilities are
equal to their responsibilities is self
evident, and should not blind us to
the consequences which its loss would
entail.
Under this administration 4 high
level of wages and living has been CO.
tablished and maintained. The door
of opportunity has been opened wide
to all. 1t has given to our people
great cOmfOr, and leisure, and tho
mutual profit has been evident in the
harmonious relations be-
tween employers and employees, and
the steady rise by promotion of the
men in the shops to places at the
council tables Of the industries.
It has also been made evident by
the increasing enrollments of our
youth in the technical schools and col
leges, the increase in savings and life
insurance accounts, and by our abil-
ity, as a people, to lend the hand of
succor not only to / ie overcome by
disaster in our own country, but in
foreign lands. With all, there has
been a steady decrease in the burden
Of federal taxation, rel ar'~g to the
people Il greatest possible portion OF
the results Of their labor from gov
eminent exact1ons.
Justified In Great Claims.
For the Republican party we are
justified in claiming major share of
the credit for the position which the
United States occupies today as the
most favored nation on the GLOBE but
It is we'll to remember that the con-
tGence and prosperity which we en-
joy can be shattered, if not destroyed
if this belief in the honesty and sin
cerity of our government is in any
way affected.
A continuation of lis great public
peace of mind now existing, which
makes for our material well being, Is
only posi- by holding fost to the
plans and principl, the have marked

The record of the present admins

expected of the next. Our words have
