Republican Platform Adopted at Chicago Convention
The Republican national convention adopted the party platform by viva voce vote, defeating Cooper of Wisconsin's minority report. The platform calls for tariff reform with a twofold maximum and minimum rate under presidential administration, stronger antitrust measures, railroad rate regulation with public accounts, and continued support for currency reform, postal savings, and national defense. It endorses subsidies for farmers, road construction, natural resource conservation, and expansion of the merchant marine, while pledging loyalty to veterans and Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Philippine affairs.
