6 PLATFORM ADOPTED BY THE MARYLAND REPUBLICANS The Republic:!!! platform adopted by the party in Maryland, is as fol low.- : We, the opre-etilative- of the Re publican party of Maryland, assem bled in state convention, this 25th day of September, IPl'.t. in offering our platform to the voters of the state believe that the state and the nation, as evidenced by elections throughout the country in the past two years are looking to the Republican party to correct the abuses from which the •.•cur.try is suffering from reekle-- 1 ex travagance, the neglect of proper re constructive measures and the ten dency to depart from the principles which have produced the security and prosperity of our people. Treaty c.f I’eaee. We congratulate our stale and na tion on the patriotism of our people and the unexcelled heroism of our soldiers and sailors whose sacrifices and bravery at home and abroad 1 rought the great war to a victorious via;e. We believe that a treaty of peace lused on this victory should permit, no surrender of our independent nat ional sovereignty. We stand firmly against provisions which would take from Congress the constitutional right to declare war and to determine when our armw forces should he sent to foreign countries; which would in terfere with the absolute control over o.u domestic affairs, such as immi gration and hie tariff laws; which would in any way abridge the policy of the United States us laid down in the Monroe Doctrine: which would im pose upon tlii- country any obligation to meddle in the disputes among for eign nations. We favor reservations that will preserve .American rights and seven ignty to the American peo ple. Burdensome Taxes. The waste, extravagance and in competency of the Democratic admin istration in nation a d state ar, di rectly responsible for the excessive, discriminating and umieeo.-sarily bur densome taxes and have largely con tributed to the present high cost of ( living.

Economies. We recognize that the country is about to enter upon an era of unprece dented business competition and we de.-ire for cm.- -late an administra tion which will place Maryland in the most favorable position in the great industrial race. To this end, modifi cations in oar laws, in aeeordinee with changed conditions and economic de mands, must bw promptly made in order to meet the requirements of the times and the exigencies of the future. Among t he- economies to which we pledge ourselves are.
