were as follows:
Whereas, AS an appropriate recog.
milton of his eminent fitness and dis.
tinguished services in the senate OF
the United States, the Republican
party of our state. in its last delegate
convention, unanimously declared in
favor of the reelection of Knute Mel
son as his own successor and,
sentatives of the state, heartily indorse
the action of our party and unani-
mously favor Senator Nelson's re-
election, not alone because of his dis
tinguished services, but also for the
reason that we believe his reelection
is demanded by the best interests Of
the state; now. therefore, Be it
Resolved, That we, the representa-.
tives-elect to the house of representa-.
tives about to convene, in caucus as
Sembled, hereby unanimously declare
in favor of the reelection of Knute
Nelson to the senate of the United
States to succeed himself for the term
of six years, beginning Marhc 4, 1901
and, be it further
Resolved, That we each and sever.
ally promise and agree that, as mem
bers of the legislature to which we
have been elected, we will support and
vote for him for this position and we
do hereby place in nomination as the

beginning March 4, 1901, our distin-
guished fellow citizen and senator,
