The Republican Convention of New York State has adopted a platiform supporting President Roosevelt's policies and favouring an early revision of the tariff.

Besides scathingly attacking the methods of predatory wealth, and urging the passing ,of iegislation to prevent the grosser forms of commercial gambling, the President advocated closer iFederal control over railway rates, the ,amendment of the employers' iliability law, and the abolition of the injunction to check labour organisations irom exercising their legitimate functions.
