dorsement of the principles and poll
cics enuncated in the national republi-
eau platform. Living rs we do in both
au industrial and agricultural commu-
nifty, we know that The republican
pledges and promises of four years ago
as affecting the general welfare have
been fulfilled and that our people are
now enjoying the greatest measure of
prosperity that they have ever expe-
rienced.
We regard the republican national
ticket, the strongest that could be
named and we will give to our great
standard bearers, Mckinley and Roose-
Nelt, our most loyal, enthusiastic and
ua;tcd support.
We note with pride and sincere graf
ifcaton the prominent and growing
zl1lnencc Of Iowa craftsmanship in the
nationa councils and we attribute this
result to the policy of Iowa republic
cans in sending TO congress- strong men
of marked ability and high character
and retaining them in public position
for such period of time as will give to
the people the fruits of their best SER
vices.
The commanding position in the ma
tional house of representatives, occu-
pied by Hon. John r. Lacey, the able
representative from the sixth district,
is matter of special qualification to
our people. We recognize the high and
patriotic purposes directing his actions
as a sincere and faithful representative
of all the people and we heartily ell
dorse his record rs member OF con-
gress from this district.
This convention cordially commends
to the people the splendid, progressive
and business like direction of state af-
fairs under Governor Leslie NJ. Shaw,
and straight out republican state adj
ministration, and we believe Iowa will
this year roll up the largest republican
majority in her history,
