district Republican convention neld
here was only ratification meeting Of
the popular will. and it required less
than an hour to nominate James y.
Tawncy and adopt a platform. The

larationS of the recent national Re
publican platform and pledges to the
nominees of that convention active and
enthusiastic support. 1t indorses the
twin doctrines of protection and reci-
.procity. 1t charges the Democratic
party with inability to deal with the
grave problems Of finance and industry
according to any principle Of econom-
les, save one based on sectionalism, in
sdividual favoritism and monopolistic
influence. It says: ."rhe Republican
party made and ever since maintained
every dollar, whether Of gold, silver or
paper, equal in purchasing and debt
paying power"
John A. Lovely of Freeborn made the
speech of nomination, and it was
warm communication Of Mr. Tawney
and his record. Loud applause greet
ed him, and the nomination received
seconds from about every county in the
district, and was made by reclamation
and unanimously.
