by tradition

THE Republican League clubs of the
state of Kansas in delegate convention
assembled again declare their abiding g
faith in the principles of the Repub-

its doctrines and carry them to the
homes of all the people.
I'VE call attention to the great pros
perity that came TO US all in state and
nation during thirty years that the Re
publican party wrote the laws and con-
trOlled their administration.
I'VE turn with pride to all of the
platforms that have been given US by
our national party and select from
them the last declaration of principles
made at St. Louis in 1885 as the great
est and best that has ever been given
us upon which to enter a campaign and
contend for victory
I'VE accept and indorse the declara-
tiOns made in the platform and will
give them our enthusiastic support
We congratulate the party upon
having secured the nomination of VIII
liam Mckinley and Garrett A. Hobart
as standard bearers in the campaign
and pledge our united and enthusiastic
work TO secure their election and to
secure the election ~ the entire Re
publican ticket
