INSURGENT IS IGNORED Other RcprwntatiTrs and Both Sen ators An Commended Faith in Balllnger Attested Taft and Tariff Approred. TACOMA. Wash- Aug. (Special.) Representative Poindexter was Ig nored pointedly by the platform of th Republican State Convention today. This platform commend both Senators and both the "other Representatives In the lower branch of Congress. Also the platform compliments East ern Washington upon having unselfish ly recognised the claim of east and west sides each to a Representative in the Senate, and congratulates the east side upon the ability of the Incumbent, ' Wesley L. Jones, whose succession by 1 another would be deplorable. The con- vHntton declare, its belief that "prece dent, fair dealing and proper represen tation of interest, of the state call for choosing; successor to Mr. Plies from Western Washing-ton. Thrust Made at Poindexter. Thl. 1. a double-edged thrust at the Poindexter candidacy. The platform commends Secretary Balllnger. la unmistakable In It. In dorsement of the President and the tariff law.' favor, tariff revision when needed, urges sane conservation rather than sentlmentalism. and indorses the administration of Governor Hay. In full it is as follow.: The Republican party of the State of Washington. In convention assem bled declares It. unqualified allegiance to the principle, of the party, as enun ciated In Its various platforms 01 principles and a. exemplified In the wise, patriotic, progressive and con structive work of the statesmen whose aerrlces the party ha. given to the country, such a. Abraham Lincoln, William McKlnley. Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft. -The Republican party continue, to be. as It has always been since its or ganization, the party of progress, of principles and achievements. To it be long, the credit for the enactment of ' the legislation of the past half cen tury, which ha. made this country the pride of It. people and the object of the world', admiration. Taft Warmly Indorsed. "Every American should be. and every loyal Republican Is. Justly proud of the matchless Administration of William Howard Taft, which has not only been thoroughly Republican and truly American, but haa resulted In the enactment of more vital legislation In the Interests of all the people than wa. ever accomplished before In the same period of time. The admission of Arl sona and New Mexico Into statehood at the earnest solicitation of a Republi can President was an Impartial and fearless discharge of a public duty. Among the notable achievements of the present Administration may be menr tloned the postal saving, bank law. the enlargement of the power, of the In terstate Commerce Commission, the creation of a Court of Commerce, the corporation tax. the tariff law. the law authorising reciprocal treaties In rela tion to the tariff, and the law pro viding for the creation of an impartial tariff commission to Investigate and recommend such changes. If any. as may be found necessary In the enact ment of laws pertaining to thl. sub ject. : The record of President Taft not only Justifies, but demands, the admir ation and loyal support of every mem ber of the great Republican party. "In the enactment Into law of the President, legislative - programme he ha. had no more loyal or consistent supporters in Congress than Senator. Piles and Jones and Representatives Humphries and McCredle, and they are therefore entitled to .hare In the glory of the President', achievements, and we condemn any effort made to harass or hinder the President In hi. great work of progress and his wise adminis tration of the affair, of the Nation by enemies within or without the party. Sane Conservation Favored. "We believe In a sane and sensible pol icy of conservation of natural resources: therefore utilisation without waste should , b the governing principle. Monopoly of wster power should be Instantly sup pressed, but the progress of our people should not be dwarfed by unreasonable nd unjust withdrawals from public en try of the Government domain. Common sense and progress should ftrevall over cntlment and hysteria. Tfte Denev that the Interests of those state, most affected should be first consulted; there fore, the Interests' of publU land state. whose development and progress are ep'y concerned should prevail over the sentimentalist, and alarmists of the East who have appointed themselves the con servators and guardians of the West. A wise and beneficent progreea I. better than a blind and unreasoning conserva, tlsm. "We call attention to the fact that nearly a third of the landed area of thl. state Is now In forest and Indian re serve, natural parks and other uneur- veved and unoccupied puoiic tanas wun' drawn from entry. We believe that lands most suitable for agricultural pur noses In the forest reserves should be restored to entry, thst homes may be established and civilisation extended wherever possible, and that the develop ment of our mineral resources should be encouraged. Balllnger Is Commended. "We commend the selection by Taft a a member of his Cabinet of that dis. tlnrulshed citUen of this state, Hon. RUtiard A. Balllnger. In whose Judg ment, wisdom. Integrity and patriotism we have unbounded confidence. TV Indorse the administration of Gov ernor M. E. Hay and the other state of ficers aa embodying a highly commenda ble example and display of enterprise. economy and efficiency. - " W heartily indorse and commend the cood work done by the State Railroad and State Tax commission, and w fa vor the extension of scope of authority of one of these commissions so that su pervision and control over public service corporation In the state may oe naa similar to that exercised by the Public rttlltles Commission of the State of New York. We favor the fullest publicity as to all public service corporation, doing business In thl. state. The principle of protection is an essen tial part of Republicanism. American markets should and must be preserved for American producer The late re vision, of the tariff waa 'made by a Re publican Congress In sympathy with this escaousnea ntpuDucau uv, " Tariff Fulfills Pledge. The new tariff Is, In our Jan,'n'- practical fulfillment of the pledge of WW. Thia law has substantially reduced the taxes on many of the necessaries of life: It raised them on nothing but luxuries. It ha converted a deficit In the National revenues Into a surplus; It ha. been placed on our statutes without disturb ing the business of the country and caus ing a loss of employment to any labor ing man. We believe In the revision of the tariff from time to time as condition, change. We believe that wisdom of In trusting revision of the tariff to Its friends has been tuny "- Payne-Aldrlch law.

On the contrary. It originally went before the Legisla ture In the form of House resolution No. IS and. as proposed, was to be an en tirely new amendment under guise of ar ticle XIX. Substitute resolution replaced substitute resolution of the original measure and as it finally came from committee, had mysteriously changed to represent an amendment to article IX and thus It was enrolled and later placed on the ballot. When these circumstances were called to the attention of the Attorney-General today, he refused to make any state ment as to his legal opinion of the situa tion. A number of local attorney, are of the opinion, however, that the courts would hold to the original Joint reso lution, providing for an entire y new amendment In the shape of Article XIX. expressing It as their opinion that the paramount consideration in interpreta tion of statute, is the IntenUon of the legislative bodjN DOUGLAS.

J. (Special.) Hold ing that the testimony of Sol Anderson in the case of George Meyers was too remote to have a bearing on the case and therefor admitting It as part of the evidence In the case was a reversible error, in an opinion by Justice Mctmae today, the Supreme Court ordered a new trial. Meyers was convicted of murder in the second decree and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, on a charge of killing Tnomas Eckhart. a night police man of Salem. Anderson testified during the trial that Meyers had made a state ment to the effect "If they arrested me like that fellow waa arrested I would shoot them." This conversation Is re Dorted to have taken place several months before the trial and the lower court admitted It on the grounds that it tended to show premeditation and de liberation and that It was directed toward policemen as a claaa. The Supreme Court rules that testimony of this nature is admissible, but the testimony In question would not exactly coma under that de- scrlDtion. Judge W. N. Gatens, of Portland, was reversed in the first case appealed from him court, this being the action of the Dill Construction Company vs. the Hood River Railway, et a!., the defendants ap- neallns: and the cause was remanded.
