Downs Constable John Baldwin 1904 | PLATFORM OF THE RE money of the Nation has been securely lican leaders in congress for honoring PUBLICANS OF OREGON. established upon the gold standard, our history and aiding in the devel The Republican party of Oregon, in convention assembled, congratulates the State and Nation upon the continu ed ascendency of Republican princip les and policies in our National Govern ment and the unprecedented prosperity that has followed the maintenance of those principles and the enforcement of those policies. The honor of the Nation has been fearlessly and sagaciously maintained at home and abroad, whether in the enforcement of law against defiant cor porations, in vigorous protest against outrages on Americans in Syria, Jewish massacres in Russia and unfavorable machinations of European power in Asia. President Roosevelt has redeemed his pledge to carry out the policies of the party as formulated by that great statesman and revered martyred Presi dent, William McKinley. He has shown himself the foe of corruption in public life, the ardent champion and wise friend of the Army and Navy, and the firm believer in equal rights before the law to employer and employee, rich or poor, black or white. Under his energetic leadership the Isthmian Canal, frustrated for a time by a Democratic President, is soon to be realized and to distinguish his Admin istration by one of the grandest engi neering triumphs known to man. We recognize the profound obliga tion under which Oregon rests to Presi dent Roosevelt for his active and deter mined effort on behalf of the Lewis & Clark Centennial, and we pledge our selves to testify the sincerity of this ap preciation by a rousing majority for the Republican ticket in June and again in November. In this connection we especially indorse the tireless labors of Senators Mitchell and Fulton and Representa tives Hermann and Williamson. We instruct the delegates of this convention to tfie Republican National Convention at Chicago to vote first and last for Theodore Roosevelt for President, and to use all honorable means for bringing his nomination to pass. The Delegation in Congress For the first time in years the State of Oregon is represented in both houses of Congress by a strong, har monious, united and effective delega tion, inferior to none from the West. Their efforts in behalf of the Nation, their party and their state have been crowned with signal success, and we hereby express to them our confidence and esteem and pledge them our sup port in their future efforts to advance the interests of Oregon and the Pacific Coast. Money Thanks to the courage and wisdom of two Republican Administrations and four Republican Congresses, the the standard of the enlightened nations of the world. The per capita circulation is the largest in our history, and every dollar of paper and coin is as good as gold. We commend the measures now pending in Congress, at the instance of Republican members, further amend ing the currency and banking laws in the direction of safety and elasticity. opment of our matchless resources. Hon. Frank C. Baker was again elected chairman of the State Conven tion and we feel that the honor has fallen on able shoulders. Mr. Baker has always been a wheelhorse of the party and we congratulate the party on their choice. Washington County also has an able committeeman in the person of Atty.
