county to elect delegates to the state
and congressional conventions was
! held at ST. Cloud on Wednesday, and
the utmost harm ony prevailed. The
convention organized with Anton

Fred Reid of st. Cloud secretary. The

and delegations to the conventions

The committee on resolutions,
through its chairman, w. B. Mitchell
reported as follows:
Resolved, that we, the Republicans of
Stearns county, most heartily endorse
the administration of William McKin-
ley in it's policy both at home and
abroad. The people have prosperity;
the great commercial development of
the nation has deserved recognition;
and the honor of the nation has been
everywhere maintained. We believe
the people of this country will express
their appreciation of this happy situa-
tion by the reelection of President Nc
Kinley by a majority even greater than
that of four years ago.
Resolved, that PageMorris has render
ed this district such valuable service
during his past and present terms in
congress that his reelection is demand
ed by the best interests of the people
whom he has so ably served. His alb
ility has not only made him a most val
liable representative of the Sixth con-
gressional district but has gained for
him recognition on the floor of the
House as one of its ablest members. In
the interests, therefore, not only of his
Immediate constituents, but of the state
at large, the delegates from this con-
vention are hereby instructed to useall
honorable means to secure he nomina-
ton of Page Morris as the Republican
candidate for congress.
Resolved, that in recognition of their
eminent position, and so to the end
that Minnesota may be most ably rep
resented in the Republican national
convention, we would urge that Sena-
tor Davis and Senator Nelson be cho-
sen to head the delegation from this
state to the Philadelphia convention.
Resolved, that we feel pride in there
cord made by company M of the Thir-
teenth Minnesota regiment, during the
campaign in the Philippines, and we
would desire especially to express our
appreciation of the patriotism and de-
voted loyalty of it's members in re-
naming at the post of danger and
duty after their term of enlistment.
: Another quite lengthy resolution
was adopted referring exclusively to a
plan for reorganizing the state COM
mittee.
The resolutions relative to President
Mckinley, Congressman Morris and
Company M, were applauded enthusi-
astically-and again.
