The Census and Persons Ava,
From Home During June.

The count of the people in the
United States will begin in all
parts of the country June 1, and
end in the cities two weeks later
and in the rest of the country be-
fore the close Of the month. The
people are to be counted at their
places Of residence. but as many
persons and families will be
away from their homes during
June there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted,
II they are not counted, the
locality in which they live will be
misrepresented to that extent.
and in some cases this misrepre-
sentation may be enough to effect
the representation in Congress

come Local pride and state

omitted from enumeration in

omissions are most likely to oc-
cur in the large cities where
families close their homes and go
elsewhere for the summer. The
occurrence of the Paris expo
sition this year is likely to in
crease the number absent from
the country
In all cases Of contemplated
absence the head Of the family is
requested by the census Office to
communicate with the supervis-
sor of the district in which he
lives. He is also requested to
leave information regarding his
answer to the questions which
are to be asked with some re-

agree to see that it reaches the
enumerator on his grounds.
Such information might better
be left as q memorandum in

to be overlooked. The questions

pleQSe themselves anew w ulle

We commend and endorse the
wise judgment, broad states
manship and enlightened patrio-
tism of our president, William
Mckinley, and instruct the dele
gates elected by this convention
to cast their votes in national
convention for his denomination.
We affirm that the pledge Civ
en- in 1896 that the gold standard
should be given the vitality of
public law, has been fulfilled by
the act of March II, 1900, which
maintains the parity of all our
forms of money, whether of pa
per, silver or gold and the public
credit has thereby been raised
higher than ever before under
any administration Of any party
and higher than that Of any other
nation and that this legislation,
together with the enactment of q
tariff law based on sound re-
publican principles, has restored
confidence both to the producer
and the consumer, and greatly
increased the volume Of trade.
We assert that the republican
party now stands, as it always
has stood, for the money laws
that benefit all the people alike,
the borrower as we'll as the lend
er, the laborer as we'll as the eli,
ployer, and such as equalize and
lower the rates of interest. We
favor legislation that will pro
mote elasticity i'll the currency
for the benefit Of the producer
and laborer. the farmer, the
manufacturer and for the general
commerce of our people.
We heartily approve and en-.
dorse the wise and patriotic
course of our senator's and repre-.
sentatives in congress.
We extend to the volunteers
from the state who recently en-.
listed in the war with Spain and
in suppressing the insurrection
in the Philippines. our heartfelt
thanks for their gallant and pat
riotic service.
We recognize the evil Of un.
limited aggregation of capital in
trusts and monopolistic corpor
alton. and urge congress to take
such action as will most effect
ually suppress such evil.
We favor the extension of our
commerce into China and the far
east. to further the Introduction
and establishment Of a
market for our surplus
grain. cattle and other products;
and we favor the retention by
the United States Of every foot
of the territory over which the
