question Is the paramount issue before the

dorse that part Of the state platform that
, demands the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at the present ratio Of 16 to /. and
join hands with all parties who cooperate
with US upon this important issue.
Resolved, That the present road law per-
hitting the supervisors to be the road STU

satisfactory. We therefore recommend
that the matter be laid before the next

tenn Of sprinkling county roads be extend
ed a. fast as possible.
Resolved, That we commend the patriot
ism Of the American soldiers and sailors
who have gone forth to fight under the
Stars and Stripes war for humanity and
. war for the cause Of freedom, yet we
6eprecate the treatment that has been
melted out to many Of our soldiers by keep
ing them In unhealthy camps and feeding
them on unwhoiesome food, and hope for
. thorough and impartial investigation to
be made that the responsibility may be
placed where II belongs.
