PLATFORM AT A GLANCE.

Roosevelt— The abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power, and the evils of privilege and favoritism have been put to scorn by him. We pledge a continuance of the Roosevelt policies. Anti-Injunction— The Republican party will uphold the authority of the courts, but believes the rules of procedure in federal courts with respect to injunctions should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunction should be Issued without notice. Labor— The same wise policy will be pursued to lighten the burdens of all who toll. Tariff— The Republican party declares for a revision of tariff by a special session of congress. We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum rates. Money— An expanding commerce . . . and increasing crop movements disclose the need of a more elastic and adaptable system. Trusts— The government should have greater supervision over corporations engaged in interstate commarce. Inland Waterways— We call for a large and comprehensive plan to improve the waterways. harbors, and great lakes. Army and Navy— While the American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other country, we nevertheless declare our devotion t- a policy which will keep this republic ready at all times to defend her traditional doctrines. Good Roada— We approve the efforts of the agricultural department in good road construction. Negroes— We condemn all Gevlces for the disfranchisement of the negro. Republican Policy— The difference between Democracy and Republicanism is that one stands for vacillation and timidity in government, the other for strength and purpose. Democracy would have the nation own the people, while Republicanism would have the people own the nation.
