We are devoted to the Ideal of honorable peace. We wish to promote alt wise and practicable measures for the Just settle ment of International disputes. In view of our abldlne Ideals there la no danger of militarism In this country. We have no policy of aggressiveness, no lust for ter ritory, no zeal for strife. It Is tn this spirit that we demand adequate provision for national defense, and we condemn the Ineicusable neglect that has been shown tn this matter of first national Importance. We must have the strength which self respect demand, the strength of an ef ficient nation ready for every emergency. Our preparation must be Industrial and economic as well os military. Our se verest test will come after the war Is over. We must make a fair and wise re adjustment of the tariff tn accordance wirh sound protective principles to Insure our economic Independence and to maintain American standards of living. I deeply appreciate the responsibility you Impose. 1 should have been glad to have that responsibility placed upon an other, but I shall undertake to meet It grateful for tho confidence you eipresa. I sincerely trust that all former differ ences may be forgotten. I have resigned my Judicial office, and I am ready tu .devote myself unreservedly to the campaign. HOW HUGHES WAS NAMED, Whitman Lauded Record of Can didate and Criticised Present Administration. In placing Charles Krans Hushes In nomination for president Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York said: We are assembled here to name the standard fearer of the irrrat llepubllcan party. We are here to name a man who will substitute trained statesmanship for apprentice politics. We are here to aetect the next president of these United States. The national horizon la dark and trou bled. From afar the lurtd flashes of a world war remind us of our own cltlsens killed and our own flaff Insulted. To the south we see anarchy encroaching; on our borders. At Washington the president watches and waits. Yet we must not think the task before us an easy one. The country Is still at peace, and the maintenance of peace will be plausibly claimed by the Democratic party. A form of prosperity la In the land, sod few perhaps recojcnUe Us temporary na ture or pause to analyse Its causes. The treat war In Europe created unusual and temporary markets which stayed for the time the disaster otherwise sure to result from a Democratic tariff. If the devout prayers of all mankind be answered the frightful holocaust of war will end as quickly as It began, and the products of European labor will pour In upon us. undeterred by a tariff barrier. A Nation "Proud to Fight," We must chooae a man so great that he may bring home to the people a realiza tion of the artificial character of our tem porary prosperity. We must choose a man so great that he may be able to lead us safely through the perils that will follow peace. We mutt choose a man so great that he may meet as a true Ameri can the supreme nit tonal issues of the hourund tho future. Our party Is rich In men Imbued with the true spirit of Americanism. Our party has ever believed that for the mainte nance of these principles the nation should be ready, prepared and, should necessity call proud to fight." W e bring to you today the name of a man trained In battle for thn truth, tried and found faithful In the administration of great public trusts, cter.tng In his Re publicanism, free from the nnlmosltlos en gendered! b) factional strife, his private life above suspicion, his public life with out a flaw, a great lawyer, an effective campaigner, an able executive, a mature statesman, e. learned Jurist. lie, above all others, combines the essential quali fications of a true leador in this crisis of the party and of the nation. Ills searching, fcarH'S and epoch mak ing Investigation Into the management of our great Insurance com joules gave the people their first glimpse of his rare power, courage and Idealism, When he was first nominated for governor of the Empire State so great was hit hold upon the iHopl that he was victorious, al though every other candidate on the He publkan tick ft went down to defeat. Ills nomination here will carry with ft abso lute certainty of success In New York state. Hughes on Preparedness. In his speeches he has shown his sound ness upon the great question of national prei redness, lie naUl: "We nre devoted to the Interests of peace and we cherish no policy of aggres sion. The maintenance of our Ueats la our surest protection. It is our confident aim to live In friendship with all nations and to realize the alms of a free government free from the Interruptions of strife and the wastes of war. It la entirely consist ent with the alms and it Is our duty to make adequate provision for our defense and to maintain the eflU-lcncy of our army and navy. And this 1 favor." No one coutu better express the funda mental doctrine which underlies our na tional defense. His principle are sound, llepubllcan and patriotic. I noed not dwell upon his rvcent career Of his most recent patrlotlo services on the most au gust of the world's tribunals his magnifi cent utterance from the bench are the brat monument. We have s-n him the man of action, the champion of the people, the Idol of the electorate, tho faithful public sen ant, the profound thinker on national Issues. Tho great sUts of Nsw York, through the Hps of Its governor, offers to the peo ple and the party, to the voters of the party no, not only to them, to the great nation her son, her noblest and her beat.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM I' Calls For Preparedness and Protection of American Rights. Chicago, June l.-FoUowlni Is the plat- form adopted by the Republican national! contention: In 11 the llepubllcan party stood fori the I'nlon. As It stood for the union of state It now stands for a united people, trie to American Ideals, loyal tokAmerl cai traditions, knowing no allegiance eij cept to the lornlltutlon, to the govern t mnt and to the Hag of the I'ntted Htates. . We believe In American policies at home and abroad i Protection of American Rights. j We declare that we believe in and will) enforce the protection of every American citizen In fill the rUhta secured to him by the constitution, treaties and the law of nations, at home and abroad, by land and sea. These rights, which. In violation of the specific promts of their party, mads at Baltimore In Ml the Democratic pres ident and the Democratic conffres. have failed to defend, we will unflinchingly maintain. We desire peace, the peace of JusUcs and right, and believe In maintaining a atralght and honest neutrality between the belligerents In the grent war In Eu rope. We muat perform all our duties and Insist upon all our rlghta as neutrals, with out fear and without favor. We believe that peace and neutrality as well as the dignity and influence of the Tnlted States cannot be preserved by shifty sipedtents, by phmsemaklng, by performances in lan guage or by attitudes ever changing In aa effort to secure groups of voters. The present administration has destroy ed our Influence abroad and humiliated us In our own evea The IlepiU'Hcnn party believes that a Arm, consistent and cour ageous foreign tollcy, always maintained by llepubllcan presidents In accordance with American traditions ts the best, as It ts the only true way to preserve our peace and restore us to our rightful place among the nations. We believe In the pa cific settlement of International disputes and favor the establishment of a world court for that purpose. Mexico. We deeply sympathise with the tS.0y people of Mexico who, for three years, have seen their country devastated, their homes destroyed, their fellow citizens murdered and their women outrage! by armed bands of desperadoes Ml by self seeking, conscienceless agitators. We express our horror and Indignation at the outrages which have bn and are being perpetrated by these bandits upon American men and women who were or are In Mexico by Invitation of the laws and of the government of that country and whoae rights to security of person and property are guaranteed by solemn treaty obligations, we denounce tne is-1 defensible methods of Interference em-1 ployed by this administration in the tn-j temal affairs of Mexico and refer with ! shame to Its failure to dlacrarge the duty I of this country ss next friend to Mexico, lta duty to other powers who have relied upon us sa such friend and its duty to our citizens In Mexico In permitting the con tinuance ef auch conditions, first, by fail ure to act promptly and firmly, and, sec ond, by lendtng Its Influence to the con tinuation of such conditions through rec ognition of one of the factions responsible for these outrages. We pledge our aid In restoring order and maintaining peace In Mexico, We prom ise to our citizens on and near our border and to thos in Mexico, wherever they may be found, adequate and absolute pro tection In their Uvea, liberty and property Monroe Doctrine. We reaffirm our approval of the Mon roe doctrine and declare Its maintenance to be a policy of this country eaaentlal to Its present and future peace and safety and to the achievement of its manifest destiny. Latin America. We favor the continuation of Ilepubtican policies, which will result In drawing more and more closely the commvrcta!, finan cial anil social relation between this coun try and the countries of IAttn America. Philippines. We renew our allegiancw to the Philip pine policy Inaugurated by McKlnley, ap proved by congress and consistently car ried out by Iloosevelt and TafL Eve:i In thla short ttme it has enormously Improv ed the material and mcLiI conditions of the islands, given the Iblllpplne people a constantly Increasing pirtlclpatlon In their government and, If persisted In. wilt bring still greater benefits In the future. We condemn the Democratic administra tion for Its attempt to abandon the Phil ippines which was prevented only by the vigorous opposition of Itepubllcan mem bers of congress, aided by a few patriotic Democrats Treaty With Russia. We reiterate our unqualified approval of the action taken In Di "emlier. 111. by the prcklent and congreem secure with ' Uussla, as with other countHM, a treaty ' that will recognhw the abtiolut tight of i expatriation and prevent all tt'.Tlmlna- i Hon of whatever kind U twwMi American . citizens, whether native born or alien, and regardless of race, relhclon or pre I vlous political allegiance. We renew the j niF w uusri v i t in 'I utviy m a m tu maintain the right of asylum, which Is neither to be surrendered nor restricted, and wo unito In the cherished hope that the war which Is now demolating tlie work! may speedily end with a complete and Inating restoration of brotherhood among the nations uf the earth and the assur ance of full mjujI rights, civil and tell glous, to all men In every land. Protection of the Country. In order to inaintuln our peace and make certain the security of our people within our own borders, the country must have not only adequate, but thorough and complete national defense, ready for any emergency. We must have a sufficient and effective regular army and n provi sion for ample reserved, already drilled and disciplined, who can be called at once to the colors when danger comes, We must havo a navy so strong and so well proportioned and equipped, so thor oughly ready and preptirnl that no enemy can gain command of the sen and eftact a landing In force on either our western or our eastern coasts. To secure thne re milts we must have" a coherent and con tinuous policy of national defense, which even tn theo perilous days the Imwrat lo party hus utterly failed to develop, but which we promise to give to tho country. Tariff, The llepubllcan party stands now, us always. In the fullest senso for the policy of tariff protection to Amerlran Industries and American labor and doe not regard an antidumping provision aa an udequaU substitute. Huch protection should be rm sonuble In amount, but sufficient to pro tect adequately American Industry and American labor and be so adjusted as to prevent undue exactions by monopolize or trusts. It should, moreover, give special attention to securing tho Industrial Inde pendence of the United States, as In the case of destuns. Through wise tariff and Industrial legis lation our Inlustrles can be so organized that they will becoiie not only a rommer Hal bulwark, but a powerful aid to na tional defense. The Underwood tariff act Is c complete Miss Nannie King has returned to her home at Jelllco Creek Ky, after spend ing several months with her sister, Mrs II. L. Sipple. Mr and Mrs Lewis Murphy of Dry anssville attended preaching at Scotts Fork Sunday and visited Mr. and Mrs, Elijah McMillan. Miss I'eschle Mae Sanders has re turned home after spending several days very pleasantly with friends and rein- .ar.ure in every reepect. Under Its admin, i itrstton Imports have enormously In creased In spite of the fact that the Inter course with fore Inn countries has been largely cut oft by reason of the war, while the revenues, of which ws stand In such dire need, have been greatly reduced, Un der the normal conditions which prevailed prior to the war. It was clearly demon strated that this act deprived the Amer ican producer and the American wage earner of that protection which entitled them to meet their foreign competitors, snd, but for the adventitious conditions .created by the war, would long since have paralysed all forms of American Indus try and deprived American labor of its Just reward. It has not In the least reduced the cost of living, which has constantly advanced from the date of Its enactment. The wel fare of our people demands Its repeat and the substitution of a measure which. In peace aa wetl aa In war. will produce am ple revenue and give reasonable protec tion to all forms of American production in mine, forest, field and factory. We favor the creation of a tariff com mission, with complete power to gather and compile Information for the use of congress In all matters relating to the tariff. Business. The Itepubllcan party has long believed In the rigid supervision and strict regula tion of transportation and great cor porations of the country. It has put Its creed Into Its deeds, and all really effec tive lawa regulating the railroads and the great Industrial corporations are the work of llepubllcan congresses and presidents. Tor this policy of regulation and super vision the Democrats, In a stumbling and piecemeal way, are undertaking to Involve the government In business which should be left within the sphere of private en terprise and indirect competition with Its own citizens, a policy which Is sure to re sult tn waste, great expense to the tax payer and In sn Inferior product. The llepubllcan prty firmly believe that all who violate the laws In regula tion of business should be individually punished. Itut prosecution Is very differ ent from persecution, and business sue teas, no matter how honeaOr attained. Is apparently regarded by the Democratic party as in Itself a crime. Huch doctrines and beliefs choke enterprise and stifle prosperity. The Itepubllcan party believes tn encouraging American business aa It believes In and will seek to advance ait American interests. Rural Credits. We favor an effective system of rural credlta as opposed to the Ineffective law proposed by the present Democratic ad ministration. Rural Frse Delivery. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery system and condemn the Demo cratic administration for curtailing and crippling 1L Merchant Marine. In view of the policies adopted by all the maritime natlona to encourage their shipping Interests, and In order to enable us to compete with them for the ocean carrying trade, we favor the payment to ahlpa engaged In the foreign trade of lib eral compensation for services actually rendered tn carrying the malls and such further legislation as will build up an ade quate American merchant marine and gtve us ships which may be requisitioned by the government tn time of national emergency. We are utterly opposed to the govern ment ownership of vessels aa proposed by the Democratic party because government owned ahlpa, while effectively preventing the development of the American mer chant marine by private capital, wilt be entirely unable to provide for- the vast volume of American freights and will leave us more helpless than ever In the hard grip of foreign syndicates. Transportation. Interstate and Intrastate transportation has become so Interwoven that the at tempt to apply two and often aeveral sets of laws to Its regulation has produced conflicts of authority, embarrassment In operation and Inconvenience and expense to the public. The entire trenrportatlon system of the country hae become essentially national. We, therefore, favor such action by legis lation or. If necessary, thruuch an amend ment to the constitution of the United States as will result in placing It under exclusive federal contml. Economy and a National Budget. The Increasing cost of the national gov ernment and the need for the greatest economy of lta resuurves, in order tu meet the growing demands of the people for government service, call for the severest condemnation of the wasteful appropria tions of this Democratic administration, of Its shameleas raids on the treasury and of lta opposition to and rejection of Presi dent Toft's oft repeated proposals and earnest efforts to secure economy ami ef ficiency through the establishment of a simple, buslnensllke budget S) stem, to whkh wo pledge our support. Conservation. We believe In a careful husbandry of all the natural resource- of the nation a huebandry which mtns development without waste, use without sbuse. Civil Service Reform. The elvtl werie law h always ben sustained by the )fub4ksn party, and we renew our repeated declaration that It shell be thoriiuyhly and honestly t-n-forced and extended wherever practicable.

Unitm-ming the attitude long maintained by the llepubllcan jKtrty. we hold that oin dale appointed to administer the govern munt of any territory should be bona fide reeWeuts of the territory lu which their duties are to Ui erfrnied. Labor Lawa. We pledge the llepubllcan iwirty to the faithful enforcement of all federal laws p4d for the protection of labor. We fAvor vocational education, the enactment and rigid unfurceineiit of a federal child labor law, the enactment of a generous nud oaxuprehenslve workmen's compensa tion lrtv, within the commerce power of ctiiigrvea. and an accident compf-nssttlon law covering alt government cmHiyves.
