The convention was just getting down
to business Saturday when the Inter
Mountain went to press. After the per-
manent organization had been competed,
the committee on resolutions, through us
chairman, John f. Davies, presented the
following resolutions:
at the threshold OF the city's cam
paign, we, the delegates OF the repub-
lican party, in convention
congratulate the party upon the har-
mony and unanimity of all republicans
in a united effort to redeem this city from
the rule and misrule of democracy; and
submit for your consideration the fol-
lowing resolutions:
"That the eXigencies Of the situation
demand the earnest cooperation OF all
good citizens in the election of men to pub
lie office whose ability and reputation IN
this community guarantees the faithful
discharge of every duty imposed upon
them, and who will jealousy guard the
interests of our people.
That in the interest Of labor and good
! government we demand that the affairs
Of his city and it's officers shall not be
dominated or controlled by any corporate
power; and in conformity to the tradl-
! tons of the republican party We demand
that wages be maintained at a high
standard; and, further, that no employe
- T. "a. -. 49, 1@ ~1ntl 1is xyn Crno
in deprecated warrants. and that he be
not assessed for the benefit of any polit-
ical organization.
1--WE condemn the secret levy Of tolls
upon inhabitants of this city as notorl-
GUS violation of the law; and we further
record our condemnation Of the extrava-
CANT and improvident expenditure Of the
large revenues collected from the people
of this city, for which no adequate pro-
lection is afforded against the assaults
Of road-agents and thugs, and depreda-
ions of housebreakers and thieves, who
rob the people of what little is left after
the visit OF the tax~-gatherer, under the
present and past democratic administra-
tons; nor is the faithful expenditure OF
such revenues observable in the prope
care of the streets and avenues of this
city, or improvement of sanitary condi-
ions.
"That the interest of the taxpayers,
llC upDulluiIlS " Liz City, dlu lue pIO-
lection of homes and fresides Of our peo-
pie imperatively demand retrenchment
and reform in the administration of the
affairs Of this municipality, and the
faithful expenditure and accounting for
the large revenues of the city.
That the protection of the interests
Of this community as a whole is a para
mount issue in the city campaign, and
we unhesitatingly condemn any effort tc
convert the machinery of the city gov.
eminent into a vehicle for the f~nancia,
and political ambitions Of any man or SCI
Of men.
That while we recognize the fact thai
no issue of a national character is in
volved in the struggle for honest, eff.
cient and faithful government in the city
Of Butte, as republicans we desire tC
express u admiration and approval o.
the course pursued by the national ad
ministration in conducting the Spanish
American war, in bringing it to a sue
cessful conclusion to the credit of Amer
lean arms and in handling the problem!
growing out Of that conflict to the last
ing honor of the nation and the glory O
the flag.
THAT We commend the valor and patri
otism of our brave Montana boys and al
those who responded to their country
call, and who are heroically defendin,
the flag in the far-off islands of the sea
that have been thrown by the %exigencie
of the war under the protection Of tn
American nation, and we bespeak 70
them the love and confidence of all on
} people and their recognition in the wal Tx
Of peace, and we condemn the attempt O
any political organization to cast a stu
upon their achievements"
The resolutions We're approved an
} adopted amid wild applause.
