Show uu RESOLUTIONS OF UTAH REPUBLICANS. Theodore Roosevelt was not without with-out a word of praise in the Republl can state convention in Salt Lake yesterday The platform adopted con. tained this paragraph: "tt e condemn the treaty contracted contract-ed by the present Democratic administration admin-istration with Colombia as an attempt' to humiliate ex-President Roosevelt. I by confesing that he secured the Pan ' ama canal zone for this country-through country-through chicanery and artifice. The refusal of a Democratic senate to glve j him a hearing on the subject was unworthy un-worthy American statesmanship." On fusion In Ulah, the platform de clares "We note with interest that hunger hun-ger for office in lTtah has proven a successful cntaleptic agent iu uniting Progressive and Democratic parties while their leaders and platforms elsewhere throughout the nation are vigorously denouncing each other We do not know who is responsible for that word 'cataleptic' as descrlb- J ing the manner in which I he Progres j sives and Democrats were united, buti otherwise the plank Is a good one Hunger for office undoubtedly possessed the Democrats when they coaxed the Progressives into an unholy un-holy alliance The strongest part of the platform Is the la6t one In which Republican-! ism is upheld In these words "The policies advocated by the Republican Re-publican party are those which made; this commonwealth great. The creative crea-tive pioneers of this sturdy region have included both men of large and of small means The cry against tii'- man or institution which prospers finds no echo In this mountain state. Home industry, organized effort, helpful help-ful aid to the beginner, reward for exceptional ability and a welcome band for both capital and labor ' these are our cardinal principles He who decries the conditions which made I 'tab great nnd the nation great will find little sympathy here We have big business and we want more of it. We want more Utah copper mines, more great smelters, more great coal plants, more rallroadc. more factories, more big irrigatloMj reservoirs. We want also the man of little means. the worker whoi makes Utah his home and is inter-1 ested in her destiny. "We want to keep Utah boys at home, while we hold wide the door for those who come here to partake of our opportunities and sharo our responsibilities |
