We give our hearty endrsement to the platform and candidates presented by the National Republican Convention. We applaud the renomination of William II. Taft, a President who, like. Abraham'Lin coin, has proven that calmness? kindness and sympathy are compatible with firm resolution and in flexible courage. A Republican administration which, has stood behind the protective tariff," principles of Clay, Garfield, .Blaine and McKinley, has also given to the child its first national recognition and to theworkingmau the broadest . . national support. . ' It has likewise preserved to the Utah farmer, miner and that prosperity which results from protected sugar,- - lead and wool.
