The following additional report Of the
platform and resolution committee, read
by John F. Davies, excited wild enthu-
siasm and Davies was frequently inter-
runted by applause:
Whereas, The recent state republican
convention, held in the city of Helena,
showed that it was completely dominat-
ed and controlled by the Standard Oil
company, and for that reason ignored
and rejected the claims of the duly chos-
en- republican delegation sent from his
convention ais delegates to the state con-
vention, and seated a delegation chosen
by a convention not legally called by the
republican county central committee. but
which was named on account of its sub
s%erviency to the interests Of the Standard
Oil mpan and the Amalgamated Cop
per Mining company; n
Whereas, In this county the ticket
which will Dear the republican name rep
resents nothing but the selfish interests
of the said ompan and was nominated
to further it's end and purposes; n
Whereas, The great issue in this
campaign in Silver Bow county is
whether or not all our political rights
and all the business and other interests
of the people of the county are to be
surrendered to this great octopus; and
Whereas, We believe that by a fu-
sion of the eight-hour republican, DEM
o~cratic, labor and populist parties, the
people can overthrow their common
enemy; and
whereas, The democratic labor and
populist have recognized the independ-
ent republicans by placing some of them
upon their tickets as candidates for
county Offices:
Now, therefore, we, the republican
convention of Silver Bow county. duly
called and chosen, adhering to the prin-
ciples and doctrines of the republican
party. do hereby pledge our support to
the fusion county ticket placed in nomi-
nation by the democratic, labor, popu-
list and eight-hour republican parties,
and we call upon all true republicans in
the county to assist in throwing off the
yoke which is sought to be placed upon
our party by the great capitalisttc
monopoly which threatens the political
and business interests not only of the
people of this county, but of the entire
state of Montana"
