The republicans of the Second Wisconsin
congratulate the people of the district on the
prosperity of all citizens, on the welfare of the
people and hope for continuance of the same.
We endorse the administration of President
Mckinley and advocate his re election and the
election of Theodore Roosevelt of New York
as vice president
We heartily endorse the national and state
platforms of the republican party and the prin-
cples therein set forth.
We favor sound financial Legislation and re-
terate our opposition to the pernCiOuS doc
trine of free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to
l. advocated by the democratic party in 1896
and reaffirmed in the Kansas City conven-
ton in 1900. We heartily approve the &C
ton of Representative H. B. DAZZLE in voting
for the financial law passed at the last session
of congress, whereby every dollar of Ameri-
can money is made as good as gold.
We attribute the splendid prosperity now
blessing our country to the sound financial and
tariff legislation of republican congress. We
believe that continuance of the republican
party in power will insure continuation of
our present prosperity and rapid advance of
the United States in all lines of business en-
terprise.
We heartily endorse the action of the pres
American trade in the markets of the world
and point with pride to the progress of Amer
lean farmers and manufacturers in international
trade during the past four years.
We approve the action of the republican adj
minstration relating to our island possessions
and believe that President Mckinley should
be upheld in his patriotic efforts to maintain
the honor of the flag and TO introduce free gov
eminent into those downtrodden countries
which came under the protection of the Amer
lean people as the result of the Spanish war.
We approve the earnest work of Representa-
tive H. B. DAZZLE for the passage of the Grout
oleomargarine BILL which seeks to protect the
farmers of the'United States from fraudulent
competition with imitation butter as well as to
insure for the consumer a pure article of food
for consumption, and thank him for his work
in securing favorable report on the bill from
the house committee on agriculture, which we
believe will insure its passage at the next Ses-
sion of congress-
We also approve the successful efforts of
Representative DAZZLE in introducing rural free
mail delivery into this district, thereby placing
it among the leading districts in the United
States in the number of such routes now in
operation and pledge continuance of work
along this line.
