During the years of Republican ad.
ministration, the land and sea powers
of the United States have been victor.
ious in just war for the relief Of dis
tressed humanity.
Our territory has been enlarged by
the honorable acquisition Of Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippine archi.
pelago. No alliance or entanglement
with any foreign power has been
made and we are at peace with all
nations.
The organized forces Of rebellion in
our new possessions have been over
thrown and stable government is
rapidly being established. Our ma
tional revenues have exceeded our
expenditures and our exports annual
ly overbalance our imports by half
billion dollars. Our commerce has
expanded, our markets have been en-
larged, the idle have been given en-
ployment, wages have been advanced
and prosperity abounds throughout
the land.
We believe that the attainment OF
these blessings is so far due to the
wise and patriotic administration OF
President Mckinley that he will be re-
nominated by acclamation and we
pledge him the support of our dele
gates to the national convention at
Philadelphia. We endorse the just
and economical administration OF
Governor Stanley and our other state
officers.
In the councils Of the nation, the
administration has had no abler sup
porter than Hon. William A. Calder
head OF the 9th district Of Kansas.
As a mem Der OF the committee OF
banking and currency and as chair
man Of the subcommittee on pen
sions his abilities have an especial
feldfor their brilliant exercise and
we now announce to the people his
denomination by reclamation and ask
his election at the polls in November.
The Republican party contends for
the common welfare Of the people
for tariff that protects. for money
that is sound, for pensions that are
Just and generous and for the main
lenance Of the flag wherever it has
been planted. To the support OF
these principles we invite all patri-
otto citizens.
