The governor said: "If an Important measure mould be fought foe through the campaign, wherein It is an Issue, and after the legislature baa acted upon It and passed it fairly. If the measure Is reasonable and constitu tional, I do not caro . whether It la upon the liquor question, county option, or any other matter of Importance, I hold It ia the duty of the executive to approve It and I would ao act If such a measure were brought before me. "My record upon this matter Is such that I believe I can appeal to the people of Nebraska for their verdict When some of those who criticise me were avoiding the liquor question, or refusing to take a stand upon it, I waa vetoing the Fort Crook bill, signing the daylight aloon bill, a bill pro hibiting the ' sale or drinking of Intoxi cating liquors upon railroad traina of Ne braska, and other beneficial measures deal ing with the liquor traffic, and I did It in the face of the fact that I was a candidate for re-election."

So far as th public is aware, there was no change in th situation this morning' as regards th republican state convention, Many delegates cam in during tha night and held conferences at th hotel at all hour, but no on had any announcement 10 mak (his morning a th result of them, Congressman U.

He declined to talk polltica until he had con ferred wit, other leaders. The talk ia the lobbies this morning strongly indicated a fight on the perma nent chairmanship on the floor of the con vention. Anti-option leaders declared that in many instances the instruction for county option by county convention were Irregularly adopted and would' b re pudiated by th delegate on thl ground. They based their hopes ot winning th per manent control of the convention with United Btatts Senator Brown la the chair. Supporters of Congressman Norns declare that their man will have a good majority, even if some ot th delegates do renounce their Instructions, as more than anough delegate personally favor their Idea and their candidate.

Vice Chairman Learned ot Omaha, Republican Platform, of the State me gr the laat for the which tr The great republican party, which for rirty years nss maae msiory -United Mates of America and took up our commonwealth when It waa a territory and lifted It into state hood and has gone along with its periods of growth until It has about 1,250.000 of people and an annual production of wealth of about 100,000.000, again sub mits Its cause to the votera ot,lhe state of Nebraska. During the late year of our nation' prosperity under the republican party (he prlcea of farm lands have been going upward until they have doubled and trebled In value, and the product of the farms and of the cattle range have o multiplied In their soiling price that they have gone beyond anything here tofore known in the history of the state. We are chiefly an agricultural people, ana under republican administrations we have reached an era of financial pros perity that outmeasures all comparisons. This prosperity in Nebraska has kept moving step by ten with the develop ment Of the Industries, and resources of . the country at large and the greatest period of this advancement has been " reached under the administration of our most excellent president William II. Taft. No political organisation In any coun try can point to such a record of achievements during the last fifty years a the republican party of America. From Unooln- to Garfield, nd from Osrfleld to MoKlnley, and from M Klnley to Taft, w can etand upon out record and challenge all comer to the list. Yet It remain true that William M. Taft as president, during the laat congraes, haa brought forth more !erts--fntlon for the benefit of the people than did any other president during the same . period of time during the lt quarter of a century. By his Impartial enforce ment of the law; by the continued prose cut Ion of Illegal t runts and monopolies, -and by hi more effective rvlc In the regulation of the rates and service of transportation companies, he ha made good all that hi predecessor had begun and proved himself true to the Interest The Interstate commerce act, n Its ad ministration, developed point of weak ness, and upon the recommendation and Insistence of the president these have been remedied and the commerce court has been created. For a quarter of a century many of our people have advo cated the establishment of postal sav in its bank. What other have attempt ed In this direction they have failed In accomplishment; but the wisdom and Insistency of President Taft has made the postal savings banks a reality. By his persuasion congress has paed a def inite law, giving to the president the unquestioned power of setting apart Um ber and mineral land for purposes of conservation, and within the last few months, In pursuance of that1 authority, he haa set apart many millions of acres.

And remem bar during hi administration ana since, under the whip and spur and. energy of Attorney General William ,T. 1 nompson every one of these law haa been enforced Not one I a dead letter.b.ut all ar InlfuQ force and effect. Those-progressive meas urea were promised by the republican party to th people ot this state before election. The promise was kept and every pledge redeemed at par by republican offi cers after election. Every law represented a step In advance. They were' th sub stance and not th shadow of real pro gressive legislation. "Let it not be forgotten that the last democratic legislature found all thee law on tho statute books and that legislature, I . ,. .u. .., .r reckless as it was of th public welfare, did not dare repeal a single one. But let me tell you what they did dare do. They put in their tim o changing th Mat statutes that all of th appolntiv officer of th stat not controlled ty the consti tution itself should become th appointee of th governor Instead of different stat officers, it waa necessary to do this be cause 'the governor was' a democrat and th state officer war republican. For example, the first law passed by th aenate two year ago was a law depriving a repub- lican secretary of stats pf th power to designate the newspapers In each county which should publish proposed : coqstitu- tlonal amendment and placed th.p power in th hands ef th gtversor. It look today a if the governor was a far-seeing man in getting that l,w .passed;' for last week be designated the. Commoner a th official constitutional amendment publisher for Lancaster county. What will the bar- vest be? Let u hope that after th pri marie the fee for the publication may persuade the Commoner to "come back" to the governor' support. No, satisfied with th record so far made, the democratic legislature assaulted ths constitution in order to get partisan control of the schools and charitable institutions it the state. Not yet satisfied with its record, It made a second assault cn the constitution in order tq steal the supreme bench of the state, litulec the fraud, aud pretence of a non-partisan judiciary. Not aatlsfled with thla record, It passed a bed sheet law ex tending the length of the sheet to nine feet, and now to their chagrin and humlll- I ation. -find that It la still too short to cover their sin from th sight of the people. Back to llejinblicnnism. "With the record republican and dent ocratlc before th people ot this stat can there be any doubt of th election of republican legislature and a republican gov- ernor? Lt ua get back to another Sheldon legislature and to another governor like him, true to. Ihe beat Interests of the best PP's of th best commonwealth of the best nation on earth. ',But republican, with all ths progressive Patriotic legislation of our party in this "te- th t fllZ IU1I SIB '"-' of ths republic haa the congress ot the United 8tatas In a singls session enacted ao many Important and progressive law a did th republican eoogres just ad journed. Two years ago President Taft was elected on the pledge that h with a republican congress would give the people , conservation law which would legalise and I validate th Roovelt policy of conserving J pature' resources- Th promts waa kept laud a conservation bill ass passed which board appointed for 4h purpose of seek ing Information and making recom mendations mi to tariff amendments and revisions. At the solicitation of our president the last aongress made a lib eral appropriation for such purpose, and the president has already appointed a board competent and .qualified to go on with this work of tariff Investigation. During his administration the general tariff law ha been revised by a repub lican eongress and Is now being tested before the Amerioan people by aotual experience. It may be true that no tar iff law can be perfect in the sense of bringing the best result te every par ticular Individual or to each particular locality or to each Individual Interest, In a nation of to.000.0u0 of people, cov ering ao vast an area. Whose varied In dustries are affected ty ollmate, and produot of the soli and factories, and by transportation facilities, and where these vast peoples are represented In the senate and house of representatives by abotu five hundred Individual minds and volcea. there must be concession and compromises. The law which wa en acted had the support of the majority of these representatives. It Is the law of the land until it shall be changed In the regular waa, . . . . During the first eleven month of ex perience under, the present tariff .law the Imports have exceeded those of any previous period of like extent In the sum of tU4.O0u.O00, 000. More than 49 per Cent of these imports have come In under the present tariff law, free of duty.- The customs receipts during the same eleven month,, under the operation of the tar iff law, were .102,S2J,161, which have not been equalled or exceeded during a like period of time for over thirteen years. It also apears from aotual experience that the gross Importations on which the tariff has been reduced under the pres ent tariff law exceeds those on which the tariff duty haa been Increased In the ratio of sis) to- on. As a republican party, be it remembered, we are pro tectionists. We dq not have to apolo gise to any maji or to any nation for that belief. On this doctrine we build our faith on1 the teachings of the pagea of our eountry'a history. The republican party ha never failed except when it faltered. Ita long ca reer of victory ha been by boldly meet ing each question as It arose; by fac ing with courage every danger that croased It path, while its fearlessr.es of consequence and it determination to be true to the' principle which brought the party Into existence, have been It inspiration from- the day of Lincoln to William H. Taft. In thoae early day It faoed seces sion rather thaa giv it consent to the extension ot slavery rather than sub. mit to a disunion of the states, it took up the burdens of the Civil war. When the war wa ever and' General Grant accepted the surrender of General Lee, the republican party did not Stop f question whether the terma of thesur- satisfies every friend of conservation. It doe what every congress before it had neglatctd to do it clothe tha president with power to actually 'conserve these re sources and not leave him In doubt about nia autnority to ao so. nines jar. Tart De cern president be hag steadfastly adhered to the policy Pf hi predecessor and has withdrawn from the field of private en croachment and appropriation th great natural resources pf the nation, including th water power site of the country, several tlrr.es greater thaa. had ever been with drawn during th llf of th republic. Under his administration not a single foot of the public domain in the: great empire of Alaska ha been deeded to a, singl monopoly or syndicate. It all belong to th people of the United State and will continue to do o unless th American poop become so foolish as to turn the government oyer to th dernocratlc partyl Postal vtsijg jpremlse.

No one hx ever pretended that that act wa perfect. lis warmest friends hav alwsy admitted, its imperfection. But notwithstanding ita imperfections with tha Information congress bad at th time It was a bettor law than th law it super ceded, and 1 entitled tq th commendation and support of the American people a a tap toward th relief of the public from the dutle of th Dingley law which the country " had outgrown. It la well to re member that this -law touched about 6,000 articles of commerce. Every paragraph In th law treated thee article either sep arately or In groups and every paragraph was separately considered and separately voted on either viva voce or by roll. pemoerat and Tariff. "It should pot b forgotten that during all th- months thl law was cqnsidrd there wr all told about 100 roll calls on what tb duty rat should b. Th other duty ratea on all the other article war acceptable to everybody including the dem ocrats, for on every contested duty a roll call waa hud.

These aply within the confine of the late of Nebraska as wall as to the union at large. Fealty and patriotism to the republican party at home and in this coming election Is as Important as it was In the last presidential elec tion, and as it will be in the election which ar to come.

We recognlre In them and in all of them the riKht to free speech and ot independent though, but In the principles of the , great republican party which have the good of the whole country at heart, we ask for the unanimity of sentiment gnd cordial cooperation. Last but not least, of all, let us uphold the hands of President Taft during the full period of his administration and send to him our united and harmonious declaration of cordial sympathy and unstinted support. For the further regulation of the liquor traffi) In Nebraska, we are in favor of th paasage of a county op tion law by the next legislature, andi pledge our candidate for governor If elected to approve auo ha law on that Subject as the legislature may enact. We favor the creation of a non partisan board of control for the penal, reformatory and charitable institution of the state. We favor the passage of a new ap portionment law at the next session of the legislature, redisricting this state into tenatorlal and representative dis tricts, giving to each fair and equal representation based on the population as shown by the census of lnio, and .if the legislature which la elected this fall, falls to perform this constitutional duty while in regular session, we pledge the people of this state that the re publican governor if elected, will con vene the legislature in apeclal session until this constitutional duty has been performed. v splendid, fighting, courageous and pro. gretslv republican in th house Klnkald Norri and Hinshaw and your two sen ator voted for th law.

' ' , ' ''Six years ago President Roosevelt bfcgan a heroie struggle for a law to regulate the common carriers engaged In interstate bust' ness. It was his plan to so control them that the publlo might have equal and reasonable rates and service. Th struggle waa a war ot giant forces. Th opposition to hi plaa took It stand on tha ground that th federal government wa without power under th constitution to Interfei wlh th business of corporations chartered by th stat. Th Roosevelt forces won the battl and pasasd th law. But aald from settling beyond dispute the power ot th government to regulat the railroad, j th law failed to bring full and substantial relief to the public. In other words, It es tablshed the power, but it did not provide for its full exercise. It gave the Interstate Commerce commission a very limited juris diction within which to act. So it hap pened that our last platform promised to amend th Roosevelt statut so that - the full power of the government asserted and established by Roosevelt might be fully ex ercised. President and Congress. "I wish every cltisen, and especially every Republican, would read again the message of President Taft to the last congress on this subject. He called on Congresa to keep the faith. After several months ot delay and debate th faith waa kept. A law wa passed which give every man and every shipper and every community the right and ths power to enforce it, to have im partial and reasonable rates and service. Under this law the eonmton ha th power to investigate ratea on It own ini tiative, not waiting for a complaint to be filed. Undar thla law no increase ot rates pan go into effect for nln month without tb consent of th commission, which is Charged with th duty of ascertaining and determining their justice and equity. Un der this-law tb government I absolute master of all tb transportation ratea ef fecting every man, woman and child in the United State. Not only that, it brings the telephone and telegraph companiea within the Jurisdiction and subject ts the control and regulatloln ot the government. The taw la th largest forward atep ever taken y any government to protect public rights and to promote the publlo welfare. "My friends, these laws were all passed during th closing daya of congress. Tha delay waa not the fault of the president Hla messagea recommending them had been before Congresa for months. Congresa heal. tated and debated for almost seven months before a single one of these great measures was Bent" to the White House for approval. How well I recall the debates on that pro vision of the law relating to the power of the government to prevent increased rates going Into effect. While we were debating it, while we wer talking about It, while a were sending out great headline for our constituents to resd, the raUroada were diligently proceeding to forestall the new law by Increasing the rales under the old law. They failed. Not because congress acted nor because congress talked, but be cause the president stopped the increase by a writ of injunction, it la good to know that the people have today In the White House a man who acta while others talk. "Republicans, I have only begun to tell the story of our record for achievement. I leave the rest for you to relate. Let the people know the truth and the result will take vara of Itself.
