tai by the state within it» border», and pledge» its support in the approaching
Legislature to laws defining and carrying out those objects.
We are in favor of retrenchment and reform in the expenditure of public money.
We pledge the republican party to favor the enactment of all legislation looking to
an economical administration of public affairs.
We favor the pending Constitutional amendment for an increase in the number
ofSupreme Judges from three to five.
Republican Stale Platform.
The Republicans of Oregon, in convention assembled, reaffirm their belief in
and loyalty to the gold standard. We commend the Republican Congress for its
recent legislation making the gold standard a part of the statutory law of the land.
So long as either of our great political parties advocates the free coinage
of silver, ti e maintenance of the gold standard is the most important political
issue, affecting, as it does, the value of the farmer's crop and the laborer s wages.
We call upon all who believe in sound money to unite with the Republicans of Ore-
gon in the important elections this year, in order that the victory mav be won for
tile gold standard so decisive as forever to preclude the debasement of our currency
by the free coinage of silver.
We heartily indorse the policy of the Administration, and particularly in secur
ing the Philippine Islands, and we demand that they shall be retained as American
territory. We have confidence that the American people, without departing from
their traditions, will give security to personal and property rights, justice, liberty
and equality before the law to all who live beneath the flag.
We indorse the policy of the Administration in suppressing the insurrection in
the Philippines headed by Aguinaldo. We point with pride to the honorable part
pla ved bv the Second Oregon Regiment in this war. They met with victory in every
combat and covered their state and country with glory on every field. We condole
with the families of those members of the regiment who lost their lives in the con-
flict, and extend our congratulations to the survivors of the regiment on their >nl-
liant and honorable record they have made.
We regard trade with the Orient as one of the great sources of our National
wealth in the future, and an open door in China is an important aid to the growth
Of our trade in the Orient. We commend the successful efforts of the present admin-
■Stration. and especially of the Secretary of State, to secure by treaty with the
several European powers, the right to the free mtroduct.on of Amencan goods
*nto this great empire.
The Republican party of Oregon recognises the vital necessity of control of the
rganization and curtailment of the powers of the trusts and comb.nat.ons ofeap.-

We point with pride to the legislation adopted by the Inst Legislature. It
abolished the railroad commission. It reduced the legal rate of interest to 6 |«-r
cent. It passed an act for the submission of the people of a Constitutional amend*
ment providing for the initiative and referendum. It enacted n registration law
for the protection of the purity of the ballot. As experience demonstrates this last
act to be cumbersome in some particulars, we pledge the Republican Legislature to
make effort for its amendment, to the end that the registration of qualified voters
may be facilitated.
We are unalterably opposed to any measure looking to the lensing of the public
domain, believing that such a system would hnve an undoubted tendency to hasten
the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a lew individuals and against
the longestablished American policy of encouraging home-building.
We favor an amendment of the Constitution of the United States so ns to pro.
vide for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, .ind we
instruct our Senators and Representatives in congress to use every effort to secure
such an amendment to the Constitution.
We are in favor of the immediate construction of a canal bet ween the Atlantic
and the Pacific, and we instruct the Oregon delegation in Congress to lnlior earn
estly for the enactment of such legislation as will lend to the construction and oper-
ation of the canal under governmental control.
We urge the immediate passage of the bill now pending in Congress to pension
Indian War Veterans, and we pledge the support of the Oregon delegation in Con
gress to the same.
We heartily indorse the administration of Governor Geer and the state officers
of Oregon as economical, wise and creditable to the state.
