Resolutions Adopted.
Be it Resolved, That the Republicans
of Kenosha County, in convention as
semb1ed, hereby affirm their allegiance
to the grand old Republican party
which for forty years has stood for
liberty and prosperity of the people,
and has always advocated the princi-
pies of sound financial policy and good
government. It has promoted the
growth of good citizenship, fostered
the growth of American industries,
and has been first and foremost in car
rying out and urging forward the poll
cies of good government which have
placed the government of the United
States foremost among the nations of
| the world.
We endorse the administration of
our President, William Mckinley, and
we commend his wisdom and states
manship not only in advocating a
sound financial policy. but also in
dealing with the difficult questions
arising out of the Spanish war and the
treaty with Spain.
We heartily endorse the platform of
, the Republican party adopted at the
national convention at Philadelphia,
as embodying those principles for
which the Republican party stands to-
day, and we pledge our earnest efforts
to secure the election of William Nc
Kin1ey and Theodore Roosevelt, the
standard bearers of the party as Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, because they represent the
highest type of American citizenship,
and aresmen of wisdom, tried and true,
who can safely be trusted to hold the
reins of government.
We endorse the platform of the
State Republican Convention at Mil
waukee and pledge our hearty support
to the Honorable Robert M. La Toilette
for Governor of Wisconsin and to the
nominees of the State convention for
the other State officers.
We consider the platform of the
Democratic party adopted at the St.
Louis convention unwise and unpatri-
otto and tending to destroy our pres
tige at home and abroad. It raises be-
fore the people false and base1ess is
sue which they term paramount" for
the sole purpose of turning the atten-
ton of the voter from the main issue,
that of free silver. We hold that the
Republican party is above all Repub-
1ican, and that no spirit of imperialism
lives within its ranks. And we be-
1ieve that the destinies of the nation
are safe in the hands of the Repub-
lican party.
And finally, we maintain that the
present era of prosperity brought
about through the efforts and successes
of the Republican party during the
past four years entities the Repub-
1ican party to a continuance of the
confidence reposed in it by the people
of the United States at the last Presi-
Dental e1ection. On these grounds we
march during the present campaign,
confidently believing that the election
on the sixth of November will entit1e
the party of progress, prosperity and
Repub1icanism to a continuance of its
trust.
Respectfully submitted.
