"A committee on resolutions was
appointed which reported as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That the republicans of
Stearns county in convention assem-
bled. do most heartily and cordially
endorse the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
First. Upon his vigorous policy in
redeeming the pledges Of The rel ill
can party, given in national conven-
ton, to assure to the nation wise
and just protective measure, which,
while assuring to labor its just reward
at the same time pro duces a, Il att
revenues for the maintenance of the
government under normal conditions.
Second. His eminent ability, wise
Judgment and unassuming patriotism
manifest in the conduct of affairs in
the existing difficulty with Spain, both
before and after the declaration OF
war, meets with our hearty approval.
Peace with honor is the true and patri-
otto American policy, but when war
becomes inevitable its vigorous prose-
cution to Speedy and successful ter
minatiOn commands our heartiest en-
dorsement. President Mckinley has
been conspicuous in the advocacy aud
prosecution of this policy; aud has
thereby earned the hearty approval OF
every wise American, irrespective of
party. He is emphatically the right
man in the right place at the right
time.
The brilliant naval victory at Ma
Mia, unequaled in the history of war
fare, is an added glory to American
achievements. The prompt recogni-
tion of the bravery of Rear Admiral
Dewey and his officers and marines
was gratifying to all Americans. The
patriotic sons, both on land and on
sea, who have volunteered to defend
the national honor and liberate a per-
secuted people from Spanish barbar-
ity, are entitled to the loyal support
of all citizens of this republic, and in
the further prosecution of this war We
confidently expect deeds of valor
worthy of American manhood.
We commend the action OF tbs Re-
publican senator's and representatives
in standing SO loyalty by the prin-
ciples of the Republican party and the
administration OF President Mckinley.
We especially endorse the course Of
Hon. Page Morris during his first term
in congress, for his Jealous efforts in
bshalf of this congressional district.
He has been exceptionally efficiel in
aiding the settlers upon government
land; and the opening ofthe Mile Laos
ervation is an evidence OF his great
influence, his efforts having been
crowned with success where his prede-
cessors achieved only failure. Believ-
ing in his integrity TO Republican prin-
ciples, his loyalty to his district, and
his ability to further advance the pros
perity of his constituents, we hereby
entrust his interests to the delegates
elected this day to the congressional
convention, to be held at AnOka, June
4st, 1898, and pledge Congressman
Morris the undivided and enthusiastic
support of the Republicans of Stearns
county at the polls next November.
