Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1900-03-15

and we believe that where the flag has
gone, either by conquest or treaty,
there 1T must remain, and we denOunce
in unmeasured terms the enemies of
our country at home, who are giving
aid and comfort to Aguinaldo and his
semi-savage herds, and charge them
with blood outlines in the death OF
soldiers who have laid down
their lives in defense of the flag
IN the Philippine Islands.
3. We commend the clean and business
like administration of Governor Stan
ley and his associates, and rejoice in
the fact that our State Agricultural
college is no longer running as popu-
list kindergarten, and that ali our state
institutions are wisely, efficiently and
economically administered.
4. We endorse the candidacy of Con-
gresham w. A. Reeder, and assuring
him of the support of this. his home
county, we look forward with pleasure
to MS denomination by reclamation, at
an early date.
5. We are unalterably opposed to
trusts and com bines of every nature
whereby legitima tie competition is
ellmlu ated, and we urge our member of
congress to use his influence to bring
about such legislation as will curb or
destroy these sOulless enemies of man
kind.
6. We believe that the charges of
transportation, express and telegraph
companies are in many cases ex-
or bitant and unjust, and we urge our
ate officials and legislature to give
these questions that prompt and earn
est consideration that their great i'm
portance demands.
z. Resolved, That in the interest of
the repub lican party of this state, and
to insure it's future success and further
growth, we instruct the delegates Sc
lected by this convention to use all
honorab BILE efforts in the congressional
conven ton, and also to the state con-
ventIOn. to secure the election of new
national committeeman to represent
Kansas upon the national publican
committee, and to select some for
that position who is not a federal office
holder.
Believing that a more honest, fair
and satisfactory nomination of candI-
dates for the various public offices can
be brought bout and consumated by
the election of the primary election sys-
system as adopted oy Shawnee county
and other counties In this state, aud
also believing that as such such system
requires the nomination of such candi-
dates by the people direct it will. if
adopted, have the effect and tendency
of defe ating the jobs, schemes, tricks
and subterfuges OF few designing. willy
and many times corrupt politicians in
bringing about such nominations, many
times against the wishes of the people;
therefore, be it
RESOLVED. By this convention that
