Indiana Republicans Adopt Tariff Platform At State Convention
At Indianapolis on April 5 Indiana Republicans concluded their state convention by adopting a platform centered on protective tariffs and a tariff commission, while denouncing the Payne Aldrich tariff. Senator Albert J Beveridge gave the principal speech denouncing the tariff act and urging a commission to study production costs both at home and abroad. He aligned with Taft’s policies on tariffs but opposed specific tariff increases and protections, affirming support for a wage-protective law. The convention named George A Cunningham permanent chairman and read the resolutions with broad support, though some votes prompted chorus of nos from the hall. The report and platform were adopted as the session adjourned, with further details to follow on page five.
