Resolved, that we, the republicans of

do most heartily endorse and commend
the administration of William Mckinley;
that we endorse the Philadelphia plat.
form and condemn that of Kansas City,
and we declare that the election OF Mr..
Bryan would bring about national
calamity. We have commendable
pride in the record of that eminent
statesman, Thomas II. Carter who has
50 ably represented the state of Mon
tana in the senate of the United States,
for the past six years. With such men
i'll the congress of the United States we
believe our industries and interests will
receive the attention and protection
they should have.
We condemn the unlawful and con
temptible methods employed two years
ago by w. A. Clark to secure a seat in
the United States senate, and hereby
pledge our representative to vote for the
lection of none but tried, and true re-
publicans for United States senators.
We deem it wise % elect senators by
popular vote; to fix the length OF a legal
days work in hazardous employments;
to pass such laws as will require stricter
accounting by state and county officials
and that all combinations for monopoly
be prohibited by law.
We commend the record our republi-
can officials have made in the past four
= Years, in striking contrast to those who
have concurrently held Office in this
county, and we pledge our nominees to
continuance of faithful and corscen-
tious sarVices.
