The Republican party of Anne Arun-

affirms the National Platform adopted at

there set forth. We heartily endorse the
| National Administration in its policies
which has given renewed progress and
prosperity to our country and has enabled
it to assume leading position among
| the nations of the earth.
We heartily endorse our able repre-
sentative in Congress for the able man
| ner in which he has performed the duties
| OF his Office and cared for the interests
OF his constituents; we pledge him our
continued support. We denounce the
extra session of the Legislature called by
a Democratic Governor, as wasteful ex-
L a ~
public affairs and use OF public money to
| supply campaign material tor the Demo
cratic party with the sole aim of return
ing one man to the United States Senate.
We denounce in unmeasured terms the
election law passed by the last Demo
cratic Legislature as a blow at the free
exercise OF the right Of ballot, the great
privilege and characteristic of American
citizenship, and we pledge our untiring
and united efforts to repeal the wrong
committed. We invite all voters of thi:
county to aid us in restoring the free
right of voting TO those who, through
misfortune, are unable TO comply with
the conditions of said law and have, in
consequence, been disfranchised.
We condemn the Democratic State
oyster law of 1900. We approve the
leasing OF the beds and we pledge our
selves to a course calculated to preserve
the wealth OF the voters of this county &c
its citizens who take their living there
from, and we pledge ourselves 10 protect
the oyster grounds OF this county from
invasion from abroad.
Also the following resolutions were
unanimously passed:
We denounce the attempt upon the
life of our Chief Executive and call upon
our Senators and Representatives in Con
gress to use all means to stamp out the
growth of any system that accomplished
its ends through lawlessness. We heartily
sympathize with the President and hi!
noble wife and wish him a speedy resto
ration to his health and to the high dutie.
to which he has been chosen.
Resolved, BY the Republicans of Anne
Arundel county, in convention assem-
bled, that we cordially endorse and com
mend the faithful and energetic attention
to the interest of his constituents, the con
spicuous ability and distinguished public
services of our Representative in Con
