The following resolution was then
introduced and adopted:
We, the republicans of Caledonia
county, in convention assembled, re-
affirm our adherence to the principles of
the republican party as expressed in the
resolutions adopted at the state conven-

this day having nominated a ticket of
representative republicans, pledge our
hearty support to the said ticket at the
coming September election.
On motion of Charles Wilson it

A resolution that the senators
should only serve one term was re-
ferred to the next convention.
w. H. Taylor was called out and
made a short speech, promising to
enforce the laws if elected and thank
ing the convention for the nOmina-
ton.
Judge Smith was called out and
thanked the convention most heart
lily for the nomination. l can hardly
believe have served you as Judge of
probate for nearly - years. Serv-
ing you so long as have, and faith
fully, as l have tried, it would be ex-
ceedingly strange if in - years had
not incurred somebody's displeasure.
But assure you l have endeavored
to perform the duties of my Office
faithfully. This is all 1 can promise
you if elected. Let me thank you
once more for the confidence you
express by placing me in nomina ton.
Silence is sometimes more powerful |
than words. The silence that comes
over our chief industry in this village |
every afternoon at 3 80 instead of 6 |
speaks more forcibly than any words |
of the orator. This is the logic of |
friends expected to do better than
the republicans have ever done. All
honor is due to the irmness and
backbone of the president OF the
United States for the stand he has
taken in the great strike. Talk
about Czarism. Think of Mr.. Debs
stopping the industries of the nation
by one order. We have no need or
use for any such man as this Debs
in our government, There is no call
for revolution of this kind.
