centive of private gain cause of war, we recon-
mend that not only power but all resources be
drafted to the service of the cnuntry in any future
conflict.
FREE SPEECH-We believe that freedom of
speech, press and assemblage fundamental prin-
cples upon which form of government rests. These
vital principles should be preserved and protected.
RELIEF-Relief in time of emergency should be
given to the needy without regard to party aliation
The distribution of relief should take the form of CIV
ing the recipient the opportunity of entering into
legitimate employment whenever possible.
HIGHWAYS-The construction and maintenance
of highways involves enormous sum of money and
places burden upon Of motor vehicles.
All bids for construction work should be made in strict
conformity with law without prejudice favoritism
srather than by executive order. We advocate the
ployment of local labor on all public works.
APPOINTMENTS Honesty demands that an APP
pointment to public office should be given to the in
divdua best qualified for the position and his contin
uance in office should not depend in any respect upon
his willingness unwillngness to contribute to the
campaign funds of any political party.
CONGRESSIONAL conclusion it is our purpose
and task and pledge ourselves as party fully
awake to present obligations and responsibilities by
resolute leadership and determined policy, to assist
in bringing the people of Minnesota, representative
government of its affairs founded upon the principles
which secure to the individual the inherent and in
alienabe right to fe liberty and pursuit of happiness

vegetable ard animal fats and oils.
We demand lower rates farm credit and insist
that the farmers and home of the state Of Min

as is now enjoyed by industry and finance.
We favor the continued development Of true CO.
operative marketing organizations.
ST. LAWRENCE-We again pledge to the people
Of Minnesota support of the construction Of the ST.
Lawrence deep waterways canal.
CONSERVATION-We demand the conservation
and restoration of the great natural Of Min
and the elimination of politics in their admin
stration Our forests, waters minerals game and fish
belong to all the people and should be safeguarded
from private and political exploitation. We demand
strict adherence to the spirit and letter of
servation funds. In conservation projects demand
that all parts of the state receive fair and equitable
consideration.
LABOR-We believe in the principle Of high
wages the restoration of the purchasing power of
the working We favor the principle of shorter
work week and the shorter work day, with it's appica
ton to government as well to private industry, as
rapidly and constructivey conditions will war
rant.
The state should encourage industry to locate and
remain Minnesota the end that labor may be well
employed and the products of the farm find ready home

We believe that in the future to avert recurrence
of present conditions to unemployment some form
of adequate insurance must be adopted.
LIQUOR-We deplore the unsatisfactory admin

the sale of intoxicating liquor in this state We pledge
ourselves to an adequate and effective control Of the

aration from the influence of politics.
LAW AND ORDER-The preservation of law and
order is the first duty of enlightened government to
its people, Every citizen is entitled to his elementary
protection of his person, his family his home and his
property.
We charge the farmer-labor regime with respon-
sbiity for the growing dsrepect for law and order in
our state and for the humating crime conditions now
existing there.
We recommend that adequate modern facilities
and equipment be provided to all police officers. We
further urge that the statutes of the state relating to
criminal procedure be amended to insure prompt and
effective trial of all gangsers racketeers, kidnapers
and other criminals.
We favor establishment of statewide police sys-
tenn which shall utilize, coordinate and expand the
existing local peace agencies the state highway patrol
and the state bureau of criminal apprehension; pro-
vded however that the power of state police shall
be strictly limited by statute not to extend to labor

Text Of the Platform Adopted BY the Republican Party

PREAMBLE-We the representatives of the Re-
publican party the state Of Minnesota in convention
assembled, pledge to the principles and trad
ions of party and constitutional form of
ernment and dedicate it anew to the service of our
state and the nation
We, party mindful of our responsibilities and
the purposes and safeguards of constitution
unaeraby opposed to any proposal or movement that
embraces socialism communism and that by guile
and Utopan promises would enforce RECOMMENDATION OF
our people, destroying their brthright, invading the
inherent and inalienabe rights and privileges vouch-
safed them in the achievements of $50 of
stitutiona government.
The issue has and at last been definitely and
openly raised in Minnesota by the farmerlabor party
in its positive declaration in favor of the MARKHAM
theory of the public ownership Of all means of produc
ton and distribution We accept that challenge and
call upon the people of state irrespective of their
politician affiliations to unite in opposition to this alien
doctrine destructive of all individual effort and in
itative and the right to own property.
We recognize the existence of unrest and discon-
tent which has arisen the result of worldwide de-
PRESTON but believe that there condition ser
Gus but be corrected in orderly under our
present form of government
The convention pledges to the people of Mime
sofa progressive of action and offers the fol-
lowing statement of principles:
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP-We' stand for the pri-
vate ownership of property the basis of econ
Omic system. This means the ownership OF the nome,
the farm business and industry. We further believe
that right of such ownership should belong to the
individual and not to the state The individual should
be protected by the orderly of government
in such ownership and oppose concentration and CEN
tralization in the hands of all public utilities
ECONOMY-Although counties, townships,
school districts and other municipal subdivisions have
uniformly decreased the operating cost of government
the cost of state under the present admin
israton has steadily mounted until the state levy is
now far greater than in any other period OF our his
tory We condemn the present wasteful and rising
cost of state government and pledge determined
and consistent of action in the reduction of state
expenditures.
TAXATION-Our Anticipated system Of taxation
has grown so burdensome to confscate many homes
and farms. We urge that the taxing system OF Mime
sofa be completely revised and reconstructed to the
end that the burden be justly and equitaby distr
buted That the object of such revision should be to
eliminate the tax burden the home owner, farm
owner and real estate.
AGRICULTURE-We demand the American
market for the American farmer by embargo on pro-
ducts produced in Of domestic consumption, and
we urge congress enact adequate laws for agricu
tural protection and insist further that tax of at

From those who do not understand
the genius Of the church, there is 60

similar to those being wrought in the
political and economic structure these

have any good reason for being. There
may be slight changes in the form or
order but in the substance there can
not be any changes We believe that
we worship God in harmony with the
revelation he has made of himself and
we have no right to change the status
quo until further revelation is granted.
