The Republican party of California, in State convention assembled at Sacramento, this 23d day of August, 1898, ae e@xpressive of its views upon the political questions of the day, and as a platform upon which all the candidtes of the Republican party in California ehall stand, does hereby resolve: First—That we reaffirm our belief fn and adof the principles ot . party as adopted at the Nationa] Convention held in St. Louis, 1894. Time hae tested the strength and proved the truth of the doctrines therein enunciated, while the country at largé‘has, under the influence of their en_ herence to the statement “the Republican forcement, grown in riches and happiness. In behalf of ourselves and of the Republican Party of this State we thank those brave sailors and soldiers of the great Army and Navy of the Republic that have achieved such brilliant victories while marching behind the Star Spangled Banner, and who have m de the American and honored in every — Shafter, Wheeler and Lawton, who have written their.james upon the scroll of the history of the world as le.ders excelled by noné and . equaled by few since the beginning of time. ‘We pledge our Senators and Representatives in ‘Congress and our candidates and our party to work and vote to secure the building of an as recommended by the pres Secretary of the Navy, and to request that a proportionate share thereof be adequate navy, eat Republican constructed on the Pacific. The wisdom of the people's choice in 1896 hae more and more apparent as time progresses. The patriotic devotion to his country which called our candidate in that c mpaign t. the ranks of its solders in the hour of rebellion has chara terized his every act since his inauguration ‘as President He has remembered the c.aims of his friends aud his party, but never at the expense of the Nation. He has protected the credit and. maintained the honor of the United States. His firmncss prevented the mistake of rec gnizing Cuban belligérency and the plunging of the country into possible the glorious successes we have achieved on in World, and honesty and fair the age. Each day adis to the glory and deepens the i we have in the Republican wa nominated and elected in 1896, whose official career since March 4, 1897, is approved by all classes and parties, and whom all delight to honor as President. William McKiuley. Their genius, however, would have been unavailing but for the valor and steadfastness to @uty displayed by thé sailors who, for many long months, were confined to the narrow limits of their ships in the heat of the tropics, and the soldiers who faced death not mercly by the i the cannon, but by dread and-who have p:cved that the first cit zen in peace and best war of any nation upon the made by the Democratic this State, at the Commencement of the late war. prizes of war, by the gallant sailors of our Navy, of certain Spanish by the Army and Navy of the United States. The victories won by our sailors and soldiers at Manila and Santiago, and the consequent acquisition of new territory, have increased our national h rizon and imposed new and great duties upon us. To properly care for what we have con iuered, to adequately protect Americans in travel or business abroad, to appropriately guard our national honorand make our flag the safeguard of al who sek the shelter of its folds, demand of us @ navy large enoszh to compel foreign nations, whether savage or civiliacA, to recugnize the claim of Ainerican citizenship wherever made, as entitled the claimant to safety and prote:tion for his property, his business and his person. We congratulate the people of the United Btatea upon the. fact that the broad Americaa policy of our President, William McKinley, has ’ dissipated all sectional issues. His p ‘liey both @s to the leaders and all matters pertaining of the broadest and a0 that side by side for a Ccummon flag and a common cause have s0u of our depx«rted Grant, Fitzhugh Lee, and the boys wo wore the who wore the g ay. All und for patriotic love of country. so that to-day we are in truth and in fact, in peace and in war, one united people. We affirm our belief in the financial plink of the national p.atform of 18% as @od correct ex:osition of the Republican party upon the finances of: the country. We commond the efforts of the national administration to secure an in national monetary agreement, and urg> that the attempt be renewed whenever au ‘oppertunity to do shall be presented. We ail attention to the fact that since the return of the Republican party to power the balance of trade his changed f.om more than four bunired millions ugainst the United States to about eight hundred and eighty millions in our favor, and ail of this is be ph aR pead conservative financial ic op’ hered to by the R-publican ps tte and President. ” We commend President McKinley for his refusal to consider any proposition looking to the sssumption of the Spanish-Cuban d.bt. Whereas the United States. in the pursuit ot its purpose of freeing the people of Cuba from Spanish misrule, has taken possession of that feland an:i alao of Porto Rico and other West India islands and of the Philippines, the Re publican party of California is in hea. ty sympathy with the declared policy of the Pr. si dent to accord to the people of cuba an Opportunity to form a stable. govergment, thus redeeming the promise made to the world. The national welfare demands the retention of the island of Porto Rico and the other West Indian islands céming under our control, and of the Philipines, in order to permit t .¢ expansien of American trade and in ase of the latter to safeguard th» commerce already secured in the Orient. Im the event of the’ retention of this foreign territory it should bgthe Policy of the United States to extend to it the benefit of free commercial intercourse with all sections ofthe American Union, and to that end the provision of the Constitution requiring “that all duties, imposts and éxcises shall be uniform throughout the United States” should be rigidly enforced. j We pledge the nominees of the Repu’ lican party in the various Congressional districts in the State to use their utwost efforts, if elected, to secure the speedy extension of the revenue of the United States to the islands of ‘orto Rico and the Phil Ppines, that all parts ef our country may enjoy the benefits of trade intercourse with our new acquisitions on the same téfiie that now prevail throughout the All legislative candidates of the Republicar ad ob hereby pledged to choose a United tes Senator, who, indealing with the ques tion of the retention of the Philippiyes and Porte Rico, will devote his energies to rctgin ing in its integrity the protective Policy ofttin United States. We rejoice in the acquisitien of Hawaii and Porto Rico and favor the retention by om country of every foot of soil that has been con quered by the victorious hosts of our grea’ Republic. : ‘_ Wecondemn the action of the Democratic Senator of this State and the present Demo cratic nominee for Governor, then in Congress of the wirld. We congratulate the ation upon the fact that it has produced uch leaders upou the ocean as Dewey, Sampson, Schley and Hobson, and upon the land as Miles, war until prepared, while his untiring activity since the war was declared has made and sea. He has proved himself equal y to the astute Ministers of the Old has inaugurated the reign of dealing in the diplomacy of artery of trade. : The last Congres having unanimously passed 8 law providing tor the co lection of theindebtedness due from the Central and Western Pacific railroads to the Governmont, the Re publication pa’ty favors the enforcement thereof, and unless s ch law and all the provisions thereof be promptly atcepted and complied with .ny-such specified railréad companies, that the law be strictly enfor ed and the lien on said roads and proper: ies te foreclosed, and suid roads and mo: tgaged property be sold ac ording to law, and that all tunde that now or hereafter are realized from either or both of the said Pacific rai roads or from the collection of he og ge the a. whether. volunta or ‘oreclosure, apPied to the construction of the Nicaragua ‘canal. We pledge our candidates f+ Railroad Commissions to reduce wherever practi. able and needed the rates-<f freights and fares now charged by the transportation companies of the State, haying in so doing a just regard for the wa es of their employes and the rights of the people. ® The Republican party commends the appropriation for and congratulates the people on the projected improvement of San Pedro harbor. It ecmmends its representatives who have aided in accomplishing the work already done, and pledges.them to the fullest support of rll measures designed to improve our nvers and harb: ts. : Now as ever, the Republican party is the champion of the wage-earner of the Nation. Since its organization it has ever been active to benefit his condition and promote his welfare. It has, by its tariff legislation, furnished him remunerative employment, and by its homestead laws given him free homes. It now de‘clares th t the m, n must be protected as well as the product of his labor. Wherefore,: we demand the immigration laws: be so amended as to absolute'y prohibit the filling of the marts of labor in America with 1 borers from fo e-gn lands. We dema ‘d the enactment of such legislatidn regarding Hawaii, Porto. Rico and such other territory as may be acquired by the United Stites as will prtoect American work. men against contract Chinese, Japanese and . co lie‘immigratio , and that such exclusion act ‘ shall prohibit bot: the Japanése and Chinese ! now lo «ted in the Hawaiian islands from en . tering the United States. » thattheseizure of the individual or the State is a' s lately vessels was uo better ' security of ‘the community.

Shafter and Joe Wheeler, . blue aud the boys . er the old flag-and . other contract labor. found therein, and will p: event any further influx or extension thereof. We also demand that Congress pass an ex-luson act prohibting further J panese and Economy in the e.penditures of the revenue necessary tothe happines: of the man and the “now, as-ever, belieVés in a rigid economy departments of the Government, city, county and State. We pledge all our candidates to an econontical administration of public affairs. to the end that taxation may be reduced to the smallest rate commensu: ate with the needs of the ;-ublic welfare. We oppose the doctrine of the single tax, of whi h the D mocratic nominee for Governor is th apo tle, as being socialistic and anarchist c, and the p acticai workings of which will be to release stocks, bonds, corporations and usurp ers from taxation and place all the burdens on the farmers and the owners of homesteads. We approve of the war revenue recently passed by Congress as being in the line with the above sentiments, as it compels the luxuries and the -orporations and aggregated wealth of the. Nation to pay a greater. yet. not improper, share of the taxation made necessar by the war than any revenue measure heret f re adopted. Its provisions for the issuance of bonds wisely extended the payment of theePenses of the war include the generation who will feceive er it from its results than the present, while it enables the people of America to show their patriotic faith in the country by purchasing the amount of’ bonds requi ed, a st iking contrast in financial and stateeman ike po icy to the selling of bond; to &@ greedy ‘syndicate }y the last Democratic national Administration. This is a law-aliding country and we are a law-abiding people. Unde our system of government there is no danger of ay one of its departments as uming power to the detriment of the others or the injury of the Nati n. The voters have always a remedy. for the ills that they think afflict them by a change of officials in the manner provided by the organic law of the land. We deprecate the attempt bthe Democratic-Popu istic-fusion party of Califor. nia to stir up hatred of the Judiciary and contemp of law as caléulated, if not designed. to sap the foundations of our Republic and bring anarchy upon our country. Those who ubuse the laws and the judges there f are ' Sually those who need the restraint. and have felt the deserved punish nent of the law. There is no document so wicked as th t which seeks to override the courts because of faucied errors, and no man so criminalas he who euun-iates such a doctrine. In our’ country the law must ever be a roler, or socialism and a archy and their attendant horrors wil destroy the ommonwealth./ We appeal to all goo cit zen and to.all true Americans to rebuke this unholy assault pon the courts, that have ever been in America the bulwark of the People and the shield of the innocent. The veterans of the army and Navy of the United States deserve and shoul] receive fair treatment and ge erous reco. nition When. ever practicall they. should. be given preference in the matter of employment and appoint. ive offices, and they are entit:ed to th enact ment of such laws as are bet calculate! to secure to them the fulfillment of the -pledge made to them in the dark dayaof the country’s peril. Furthermore, we ask our State leg slators to work to the end that the act of the Legislature approved March 31, 1891 relative to the em ployment of Union veterans, may be made more effective and binding upon the variow St te aod county officials. The University of Cal fornia has in the pasi been the recipent of the care of the Repui.lican party, under whose liber.) su po t it has lee: enabled to reach its present high standard We pledge ourselve: to conti ue that suppor: and make the. University worthy in every re spect of the most enthusiastic ‘hopes. of the people. It fitly crowns the educational systen, of our State. : The common schools have ever been jealously guarded and gene ously supported by. tae Re publican party. The publication of: school books by the . tate reduces the.expense of fur. nishi.g them to the minimum c st of manu facture, thus saving large sums to parents and proving 4 valuable aid in the general diffusion of kn while it increases ance in the schools. We condemn the effort: of the present Governor to destroy the ability of the State to econumigally produce schoo} books as certain to déliver the people of California into the of an Eastern school book monopoly, whose exaction will be all the more oppressive because of our exemption therefrom for the past six years. We Genaence the sotion at the present Gov ernor in vetoing.the appropriation, for the su: port of the State Printin, ; 4 inevitable result has been to cri splen. themselves. © pledge our-elves t pass such laws as will prevent such action i: the future, will maintain the common schools the early Gove nments. mniner, as will fully occomplish this. tion of our State, are entitled ifon. we denounce our navigable rivers had been made therefor by a Republican lature. _ The present year has demonstrated which shall pl n iful in million tion of the authorities, both State and Federal, ably to our taxable wealth and population. will require dollars, which, if invested by private capital, would subject the imposition and extortion. We, therefore, system. of storage reservoirs government. The interests of the farmer, mner and lumberman are inyolyed in. the preservation and reproduction of our forests, We pledge our representatives to the enactmet and energetic enforcement of such laws as will pro tect and preserve our forests as one of our greatest natu: al resources. The tree isthe mother of the fountain. and the widespread destruction of our forests by fire threatens to diminish the supply of water for mining and irrigation, and to entirely destroy the luntber industry of the State ata time when the demand for lumber abroad promises great prosperity to that trade. The Republican party of C: “tost bi legislation as the dairy intérests and the public form impositions in the sale of dairy products. and. the nominees of the party will carefully and thoroughly enforce this pledge. The necessities of the people and the require ments of trade alike demand good roads in every part of the State. We favor the of such laws as will, through a proper and judicious system, secure to California the highWays and roads needed for the Pleasure and business of the community. graded and maintained in su -h a» anner as to be in good order at all seagons of the year and ready at all times for the traveler, trade or carrier. The aduiteration of food is ® crime against the present and future welfare of the whole People. It has no excuse for its commission, and its perpetrators should be punished and the practice forever prevented We demand the vigorous enforcement of the laws already passed against the infamous traffic, and the passage and strong enfcrcement of such other measures as are needed to give the officials full 2 ta to panes oe upon civilization ang properly punish those engaged in a go business. ots © believe that a judicious appropriation should be made and ma‘ntained amehy the State and district fairs shal! be P-operly aided, and thus awaken a new interest in'agricultural, horticultural and stock-breeding pursuits. The Republican Party has ever been.the fearleas champion of the down-trodden and oppressed, and has always stood sponsor for the maintenance of fair w ges under just conditions; theref re we place our party, our candirem — ae unreservedly on re-ord as avo~-ing leislation t-eneficial to the industrial classes of this State, and we favor and recommend the use of the Allied Trades printing lat el on all printing, as a guarantee that. such work was executed by competent craftsmen under fair conditions. ‘The free labor and the indu tries of California are constantly snffering from the evils of convict 'abor, and large quantities of goods, the product of prison labor in other States are being imported and sold in California. This unjust and most vicious competition can only be met by judicious legislation on the part of our State and National represenctives. The Republican party of the State of. California, in State Convention assembled, hereby decla-es itself unalterably opposed to convict labor being brought into competition with free labor. and hereby pledges itself in support of any measure designed to protect and foster free labor ani the industries of our State against the evil effects of convict labor. And we are in favor of the Passage such laws as will cause such convicts to be employed upon the public highways of this State, the eby withdrawing them from competition with free labor in all branches of industries. We favor the passage of a law by the Congress of the Unite i States confining the sale of goods, wares and merchandise manufactured by convict labor to the state or territory in which they are produced. Where municipal charters have been adopted by the vo es of the citizens of municipalitiag under constitutional provision we reqnest our Legislature candidates to vote to approve the same in the Legislature. The purity of the elections is the salvation of the country. All parties willingly submit to an election fairly conducted and: in which the ballots have been honestly counted: no othor election should be tolerated or ermitted. The foundation of a'l selections is the pri of a political party. Such primaries should be as honestly conducted as general elections. No partisan is bound hy the decision of a dishonest_primary. We therefore declare onrselves unreservedly in favor of a law regulating the primary elections of all political Parties, to the end that he .ame protection that was extended by the Australian system to general eletions be now extended to primary elections, We heartily indorse the work of the State League of Republican Clubs, and recognize the ‘. great importance of clu) organization, The apportionment of the interest arising from the irreducible school fund has been made by the Oregon State Board of School Land Commis. sioners.

The Republican party of California, in State convention assembled at Sacramento, this 23d day of August, 1898, ae e@xpressive of its views upon the political questions of the day, and as a platform upon which all the candidtes of the Republican party in California ehall stand, does hereby resolve: First—That we reaffirm our belief fn and adof the principles ot . party as adopted at the Nationa] Convention held in St. Louis, 1894. Time hae tested the strength and proved the truth of the doctrines therein enunciated, while the country at largé‘has, under the influence of their en_ herence to the statement “the Republican forcement, grown in riches and happiness. In behalf of ourselves and of the Republican Party of this State we thank those brave sailors and soldiers of the great Army and Navy of the Republic that have achieved such brilliant victories while marching behind the Star Spangled Banner, and who have m de the American and honored in every — Shafter, Wheeler and Lawton, who have written their.james upon the scroll of the history of the world as le.ders excelled by noné and . equaled by few since the beginning of time. ‘We pledge our Senators and Representatives in ‘Congress and our candidates and our party to work and vote to secure the building of an as recommended by the pres Secretary of the Navy, and to request that a proportionate share thereof be adequate navy, eat Republican constructed on the Pacific. The wisdom of the people's choice in 1896 hae more and more apparent as time progresses. The patriotic devotion to his country which called our candidate in that c mpaign t. the ranks of its solders in the hour of rebellion has chara terized his every act since his inauguration ‘as President He has remembered the c.aims of his friends aud his party, but never at the expense of the Nation. He has protected the credit and. maintained the honor of the United States. His firmncss prevented the mistake of rec gnizing Cuban belligérency and the plunging of the country into possible the glorious successes we have achieved on in World, and honesty and fair the age. Each day adis to the glory and deepens the i we have in the Republican wa nominated and elected in 1896, whose official career since March 4, 1897, is approved by all classes and parties, and whom all delight to honor as President. William McKiuley. Their genius, however, would have been unavailing but for the valor and steadfastness to @uty displayed by thé sailors who, for many long months, were confined to the narrow limits of their ships in the heat of the tropics, and the soldiers who faced death not mercly by the i the cannon, but by dread and-who have p:cved that the first cit zen in peace and best war of any nation upon the made by the Democratic this State, at the Commencement of the late war. prizes of war, by the gallant sailors of our Navy, of certain Spanish by the Army and Navy of the United States. The victories won by our sailors and soldiers at Manila and Santiago, and the consequent acquisition of new territory, have increased our national h rizon and imposed new and great duties upon us. To properly care for what we have con iuered, to adequately protect Americans in travel or business abroad, to appropriately guard our national honorand make our flag the safeguard of al who sek the shelter of its folds, demand of us @ navy large enoszh to compel foreign nations, whether savage or civiliacA, to recugnize the claim of Ainerican citizenship wherever made, as entitled the claimant to safety and prote:tion for his property, his business and his person. We congratulate the people of the United Btatea upon the. fact that the broad Americaa policy of our President, William McKinley, has ’ dissipated all sectional issues. His p ‘liey both @s to the leaders and all matters pertaining of the broadest and a0 that side by side for a Ccummon flag and a common cause have s0u of our depx«rted Grant, Fitzhugh Lee, and the boys wo wore the who wore the g ay. All und for patriotic love of country. so that to-day we are in truth and in fact, in peace and in war, one united people. We affirm our belief in the financial plink of the national p.atform of 18% as @od correct ex:osition of the Republican party upon the finances of: the country. We commond the efforts of the national administration to secure an in national monetary agreement, and urg> that the attempt be renewed whenever au ‘oppertunity to do shall be presented. We ail attention to the fact that since the return of the Republican party to power the balance of trade his changed f.om more than four bunired millions ugainst the United States to about eight hundred and eighty millions in our favor, and ail of this is be ph aR pead conservative financial ic op’ hered to by the R-publican ps tte and President. ” We commend President McKinley for his refusal to consider any proposition looking to the sssumption of the Spanish-Cuban d.bt. Whereas the United States. in the pursuit ot its purpose of freeing the people of Cuba from Spanish misrule, has taken possession of that feland an:i alao of Porto Rico and other West India islands and of the Philippines, the Re publican party of California is in hea. ty sympathy with the declared policy of the Pr. si dent to accord to the people of cuba an Opportunity to form a stable. govergment, thus redeeming the promise made to the world. The national welfare demands the retention of the island of Porto Rico and the other West Indian islands céming under our control, and of the Philipines, in order to permit t .¢ expansien of American trade and in ase of the latter to safeguard th» commerce already secured in the Orient. Im the event of the’ retention of this foreign territory it should bgthe Policy of the United States to extend to it the benefit of free commercial intercourse with all sections ofthe American Union, and to that end the provision of the Constitution requiring “that all duties, imposts and éxcises shall be uniform throughout the United States” should be rigidly enforced. j We pledge the nominees of the Repu’ lican party in the various Congressional districts in the State to use their utwost efforts, if elected, to secure the speedy extension of the revenue of the United States to the islands of ‘orto Rico and the Phil Ppines, that all parts ef our country may enjoy the benefits of trade intercourse with our new acquisitions on the same téfiie that now prevail throughout the All legislative candidates of the Republicar ad ob hereby pledged to choose a United tes Senator, who, indealing with the ques tion of the retention of the Philippiyes and Porte Rico, will devote his energies to rctgin ing in its integrity the protective Policy ofttin United States. We rejoice in the acquisitien of Hawaii and Porto Rico and favor the retention by om country of every foot of soil that has been con quered by the victorious hosts of our grea’ Republic. : ‘_ Wecondemn the action of the Democratic Senator of this State and the present Demo cratic nominee for Governor, then in Congress of the wirld. We congratulate the ation upon the fact that it has produced uch leaders upou the ocean as Dewey, Sampson, Schley and Hobson, and upon the land as Miles, war until prepared, while his untiring activity since the war was declared has made and sea. He has proved himself equal y to the astute Ministers of the Old has inaugurated the reign of dealing in the diplomacy of artery of trade. : The last Congres having unanimously passed 8 law providing tor the co lection of theindebtedness due from the Central and Western Pacific railroads to the Governmont, the Re publication pa’ty favors the enforcement thereof, and unless s ch law and all the provisions thereof be promptly atcepted and complied with .ny-such specified railréad companies, that the law be strictly enfor ed and the lien on said roads and proper: ies te foreclosed, and suid roads and mo: tgaged property be sold ac ording to law, and that all tunde that now or hereafter are realized from either or both of the said Pacific rai roads or from the collection of he og ge the a. whether. volunta or ‘oreclosure, apPied to the construction of the Nicaragua ‘canal. We pledge our candidates f+ Railroad Commissions to reduce wherever practi. able and needed the rates-<f freights and fares now charged by the transportation companies of the State, haying in so doing a just regard for the wa es of their employes and the rights of the people. ® The Republican party commends the appropriation for and congratulates the people on the projected improvement of San Pedro harbor. It ecmmends its representatives who have aided in accomplishing the work already done, and pledges.them to the fullest support of rll measures designed to improve our nvers and harb: ts. : Now as ever, the Republican party is the champion of the wage-earner of the Nation. Since its organization it has ever been active to benefit his condition and promote his welfare. It has, by its tariff legislation, furnished him remunerative employment, and by its homestead laws given him free homes. It now de‘clares th t the m, n must be protected as well as the product of his labor. Wherefore,: we demand the immigration laws: be so amended as to absolute'y prohibit the filling of the marts of labor in America with 1 borers from fo e-gn lands. We dema ‘d the enactment of such legislatidn regarding Hawaii, Porto. Rico and such other territory as may be acquired by the United Stites as will prtoect American work. men against contract Chinese, Japanese and . co lie‘immigratio , and that such exclusion act ‘ shall prohibit bot: the Japanése and Chinese ! now lo «ted in the Hawaiian islands from en . tering the United States. » thattheseizure of the individual or the State is a' s lately vessels was uo better ' security of ‘the community.

Shafter and Joe Wheeler, . blue aud the boys . er the old flag-and . other contract labor. found therein, and will p: event any further influx or extension thereof. We also demand that Congress pass an ex-luson act prohibting further J panese and Economy in the e.penditures of the revenue necessary tothe happines: of the man and the “now, as-ever, belieVés in a rigid economy departments of the Government, city, county and State. We pledge all our candidates to an econontical administration of public affairs. to the end that taxation may be reduced to the smallest rate commensu: ate with the needs of the ;-ublic welfare. We oppose the doctrine of the single tax, of whi h the D mocratic nominee for Governor is th apo tle, as being socialistic and anarchist c, and the p acticai workings of which will be to release stocks, bonds, corporations and usurp ers from taxation and place all the burdens on the farmers and the owners of homesteads. We approve of the war revenue recently passed by Congress as being in the line with the above sentiments, as it compels the luxuries and the -orporations and aggregated wealth of the. Nation to pay a greater. yet. not improper, share of the taxation made necessar by the war than any revenue measure heret f re adopted. Its provisions for the issuance of bonds wisely extended the payment of theePenses of the war include the generation who will feceive er it from its results than the present, while it enables the people of America to show their patriotic faith in the country by purchasing the amount of’ bonds requi ed, a st iking contrast in financial and stateeman ike po icy to the selling of bond; to &@ greedy ‘syndicate }y the last Democratic national Administration. This is a law-aliding country and we are a law-abiding people. Unde our system of government there is no danger of ay one of its departments as uming power to the detriment of the others or the injury of the Nati n. The voters have always a remedy. for the ills that they think afflict them by a change of officials in the manner provided by the organic law of the land. We deprecate the attempt bthe Democratic-Popu istic-fusion party of Califor. nia to stir up hatred of the Judiciary and contemp of law as caléulated, if not designed. to sap the foundations of our Republic and bring anarchy upon our country. Those who ubuse the laws and the judges there f are ' Sually those who need the restraint. and have felt the deserved punish nent of the law. There is no document so wicked as th t which seeks to override the courts because of faucied errors, and no man so criminalas he who euun-iates such a doctrine. In our’ country the law must ever be a roler, or socialism and a archy and their attendant horrors wil destroy the ommonwealth./ We appeal to all goo cit zen and to.all true Americans to rebuke this unholy assault pon the courts, that have ever been in America the bulwark of the People and the shield of the innocent. The veterans of the army and Navy of the United States deserve and shoul] receive fair treatment and ge erous reco. nition When. ever practicall they. should. be given preference in the matter of employment and appoint. ive offices, and they are entit:ed to th enact ment of such laws as are bet calculate! to secure to them the fulfillment of the -pledge made to them in the dark dayaof the country’s peril. Furthermore, we ask our State leg slators to work to the end that the act of the Legislature approved March 31, 1891 relative to the em ployment of Union veterans, may be made more effective and binding upon the variow St te aod county officials. The University of Cal fornia has in the pasi been the recipent of the care of the Repui.lican party, under whose liber.) su po t it has lee: enabled to reach its present high standard We pledge ourselve: to conti ue that suppor: and make the. University worthy in every re spect of the most enthusiastic ‘hopes. of the people. It fitly crowns the educational systen, of our State. : The common schools have ever been jealously guarded and gene ously supported by. tae Re publican party. The publication of: school books by the . tate reduces the.expense of fur. nishi.g them to the minimum c st of manu facture, thus saving large sums to parents and proving 4 valuable aid in the general diffusion of kn while it increases ance in the schools. We condemn the effort: of the present Governor to destroy the ability of the State to econumigally produce schoo} books as certain to déliver the people of California into the of an Eastern school book monopoly, whose exaction will be all the more oppressive because of our exemption therefrom for the past six years. We Genaence the sotion at the present Gov ernor in vetoing.the appropriation, for the su: port of the State Printin, ; 4 inevitable result has been to cri splen. themselves. © pledge our-elves t pass such laws as will prevent such action i: the future, will maintain the common schools the early Gove nments. mniner, as will fully occomplish this. tion of our State, are entitled ifon. we denounce our navigable rivers had been made therefor by a Republican lature. _ The present year has demonstrated which shall pl n iful in million tion of the authorities, both State and Federal, ably to our taxable wealth and population. will require dollars, which, if invested by private capital, would subject the imposition and extortion. We, therefore, system. of storage reservoirs government. The interests of the farmer, mner and lumberman are inyolyed in. the preservation and reproduction of our forests, We pledge our representatives to the enactmet and energetic enforcement of such laws as will pro tect and preserve our forests as one of our greatest natu: al resources. The tree isthe mother of the fountain. and the widespread destruction of our forests by fire threatens to diminish the supply of water for mining and irrigation, and to entirely destroy the luntber industry of the State ata time when the demand for lumber abroad promises great prosperity to that trade. The Republican party of C: “tost bi legislation as the dairy intérests and the public form impositions in the sale of dairy products. and. the nominees of the party will carefully and thoroughly enforce this pledge. The necessities of the people and the require ments of trade alike demand good roads in every part of the State.

The aduiteration of food is ® crime against the present and future welfare of the whole People. It has no excuse for its commission, and its perpetrators should be punished and the practice forever prevented We demand the vigorous enforcement of the laws already passed against the infamous traffic, and the passage and strong enfcrcement of such other measures as are needed to give the officials full 2 ta to panes oe upon civilization ang properly punish those engaged in a go business. ots © believe that a judicious appropriation should be made and ma‘ntained amehy the State and district fairs shal! be P-operly aided, and thus awaken a new interest in'agricultural, horticultural and stock-breeding pursuits. The Republican Party has ever been.the fearleas champion of the down-trodden and oppressed, and has always stood sponsor for the maintenance of fair w ges under just conditions; theref re we place our party, our candirem — ae unreservedly on re-ord as avo~-ing leislation t-eneficial to the industrial classes of this State, and we favor and recommend the use of the Allied Trades printing lat el on all printing, as a guarantee that. such work was executed by competent craftsmen under fair conditions. ‘The free labor and the indu tries of California are constantly snffering from the evils of convict 'abor, and large quantities of goods, the product of prison labor in other States are being imported and sold in California. This unjust and most vicious competition can only be met by judicious legislation on the part of our State and National represenctives. The Republican party of the State of. California, in State Convention assembled, hereby decla-es itself unalterably opposed to convict labor being brought into competition with free labor. and hereby pledges itself in support of any measure designed to protect and foster free labor ani the industries of our State against the evil effects of convict labor. And we are in favor of the Passage such laws as will cause such convicts to be employed upon the public highways of this State, the eby withdrawing them from competition with free labor in all branches of industries. We favor the passage of a law by the Congress of the Unite i States confining the sale of goods, wares and merchandise manufactured by convict labor to the state or territory in which they are produced. Where municipal charters have been adopted by the vo es of the citizens of municipalitiag under constitutional provision we reqnest our Legislature candidates to vote to approve the same in the Legislature. The purity of the elections is the salvation of the country. All parties willingly submit to an election fairly conducted and: in which the ballots have been honestly counted: no othor election should be tolerated or ermitted. The foundation of a'l selections is the pri of a political party. Such primaries should be as honestly conducted as general elections. No partisan is bound hy the decision of a dishonest_primary. We therefore declare onrselves unreservedly in favor of a law regulating the primary elections of all political Parties, to the end that he .ame protection that was extended by the Australian system to general eletions be now extended to primary elections, We heartily indorse the work of the State League of Republican Clubs, and recognize the ‘. great importance of clu) organization, The apportionment of the interest arising from the irreducible school fund has been made by the Oregon State Board of School Land Commis. sioners.
