Realizing that at this time, on the eve OF
the meeting OF the National convention. .
platform Of principles By the Republicans
OF this state Is not required further than
. declaration OF reatiirmation OF the
pastannounced positions OF the party;
yet the Republicans or Iowa improve this
opportunity to declare that with unanimity and
enthusiasm we present the name of William b.
Allison to the Republican convention for the
nomination for the office OF President of the
United States; and We do this not from
feeling Of State pride. but from profound
conviction that we are acting in obedience to
an obligation now resting upon Republicans
everywhere to urge the selection only Of the
strongest and best candidate. His quar-
ter OF century of service in both
branches OF Congress has been conspicuous for
loyalty to the Republic. for fidelity to the princi
plies that underlie the Government, for pro
found knowledge OF the material resources and
the needs of the Nation, for great wis
dom and skill in finance, for .
broad and prudent craftsmanship. In party
councils he has been the foe OF factions:
with all the leadership OF the party the
wise and trusted counselor; to the opposition
the fearless but ever courteous foe. He IS in
the full vigor of his mental aud physical powers
genial, asfab.e and alproaehape, never acting
from passion, rarely from impulse, but uni
formly from calm consideration and Judgment.
Kind in thought and speech and purpose, the
embod, ment of personal and official integrity.
he presents a rare combination OF all the ele-
ments for strong party candidate and wise,
popular and honored ESecut ve, and we COM
mend his name to the judgment Of the Re-
publicans Of the Nation"
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed with cheers
