REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. ot , in T»e Annual CoBvenUon Declare* Repub- hi tfc»n Principle*. of One year ,A*o . the Republican Convention, couaintiXg of legislative nom- pi Ineea and od|*r*, •» deaignnted by law, p< Bet in annuifl session in Trenton. w At that tine a contract with the pub- tl be was proposed, that, if placed in S power, a program of constructive leg- b. illation would be undertaken. Definite ti pledges were adopted in order that the obligation should be clear and unmis- j» <h table. U The voters the pledges made si • and at the election following changed cl the Democratic control in both Houses »i of the Legiriature to a Republican majority. ° Hie last a&aion has more constructive o work to its credit than has been ac- it complished in any single session in it years. The work of reformation, after .1 Democratic rule of the state for four d years, could not be completed in a sin- ri gje session and we plegde ourseve*. if elected to oontinue this work of im- t provement and, reform. ° The economy and efficiency legislation h which failed in two previous Democratic e Legislatures, was successfully placed on b the statute bosks and numerous consul- r idations of scattered State Departments fc have been effected hereby in the inter o est of modern business like regulation t and control Bitter Democratic opposition to these S reforms marked almost every legislative f step, in dear violation of their prom- ' ises to the people as the Democratic a Party was as strongly pledged to the r economy and efficiency program as were f the Republicans. ' In addition to the continuation of the rograni already well under way, thru < he accomplishments of the last session, in our judgment particular attention should be given by the incoming Legislature to: " A revised financial policy including a I roper busisness like budget system. Enact such biws ps will insure a sane and business tike policy for the develpment of the rivers, harbor, canals and i other waterways of the State, as they are among our most valuable assets and i when properly improved will prove of l incalculable benefit to our citizens. * | The promotion of free, public, non- i sectarian education; the development of • industrial, vocational and agricultural education; a constructive policy for the development of rural schools; additional normal school facilities as soon as the finances will warrant : flic encouragement and support of Hie negro in his struggle for advancement and wholesome service through a liberal education. A proper equalization of tax assessments; the elimination of grade crossing- in the order of danger and as rapidly a* the expense involved will permit. Enact «uch laws as shall definitely direct the procedure for the creation and retirement of the obligations of our municipalities, that public welfare, may be advanced, municipal credit conserved and the taxpayers' interests properly safeguarded . .Study the problem of the expf.ns* and chff''oX oar mental defectives so that tieV nfay. receive the greatest amount of eare with the least expense to the State. An aggressive encouragement and development of our agricultural resources. A revision of the road laws of our State and the development and systematic repair of our good roads which, under the Democratic administration, have been allowed to be rained so tbat now i they have become a disgrace instead of a j credit to the State. A continuation of the program for ! economy and efficiency, so substantially i begun. A pr«i>er protection of the labor in - . terests of the State. A simplification of eur election laws . without sacrificing the safety or the . honesty of the ballot in order thrt the I large number of voters who refuse to | exercise suffrage under our unnecessarily complicated machinery shall not bo] disfranchised. A proper delegation of power to muni--.eipfflitirs without sweeping away -those; fundamental Htsttr-wiilr principles and policies generally acc.-pt.xl and recognized for year- aa wi»e and la-neficent. Maintain ! s..f-*;, ir.rd the civil service lav of the State, passed by a Rely weaken-d through Democratic manipulation. The necessity for a revised financial |K>lirv is most apparent from the fact , "that th.- Democratic Comptroller adinilt«y in a rejs-rt to the Legislature of ■ 111 1 A that the State faced a deficit which might exceed by the close of the fiscal j year fcJ.rtOO.ffOO. The Republican ma- ( joritv r. cognizing this serious financial . situation, brought about by excessive appropriations of the two preceding • Democratic Legislatures, cut dow n the t appropriations $1500,000 and vet provid.il ample funds for the maintenance of all state institutions and departments. M e insist that the State should not , spend more than its income, a policy ! adopted by the Republicans at the last j ses-ion. and to this end we shall limit i

our appropriations within the estimated or the State, If th^ Democrats ( had subscribed to this policy, a deficit, I of course, could never have occurred. The requisition system we approve in i principle, but not to the extent that 1 permits any state officer to arbitrarily withhold payment of appropriations to . the embarrassment of institutions and i State departments, when the tame have i regularly allowed by the Legislature. In connection with a revised financial policy, we propose to consider the matof State purchase whereby State supplies can be standardized and purchased in bulk, as is done in large and successful business. We appeal to the patriotic citizens of iiew Jersey to vote against the Democratic Party which has allowed Amercitizens to be shot, American soldiers 'and Bailors to be killed,- and the American flag to be trampled in the without taking any measures for redress. * We appeal to the electorate to rebuke the Democratic Party for ita enactment of a tariff, which approaches free trade, has . paralyzed the industries of the country, except those that are supported a foreign war. It has injured the credit of the United States so that its bonds are selling below par, and, in spite of its promises, the cost of living is continually rising. We appeal to all the people of our irrespective of party affiliation, for the support of this program, for a vote of confidence in Republican ideals and principles, so that a re-united party realize the true aspirations of a great majority of the citizens of the Republic.
