On motion the report was accepted
aud the committee discharged.
The committee ON permanent organi-
zation reported that the temporary
organization be made permanent, and
the report was adopted and the COM
mittee discharged.
The committee on resolutions made
the following report;
We, the republicans, of Day county
South Dakota, in delegate convention
assembled, do hereby re-affirsa our
allegiance to the principles of the repub-
lican party, as contained in its last
national platform and in the platform
and resolutions adopted by tie last
republican convention held in the state
of South Dakota.
We, assert that the only unalterable
principle Of the republican party is its
pledge to-. by wise legislation promote
the best interests of all of the people
allo the time. We assert that all other
matters are transitory and but means
to an end and when that any other
party attempts to legislate for n class of
individuals to the exclusion of any other
individuals the inevitable result is basi-
ness depression and loss to all classes.
We as republicans are proud of the
fact that the republican party is a pro-
gressiye party and hat at the same time
it is not a fanatical ~party-that it is
ever ready to adopt and promote new
ideas from whatever source they may
come, provided those ideas be practic-
able and for the benefit of the general
public, and we confidently assert that
no reform has ever been successfully
put into operation by any other party and
we firmly believe that in the future the
same conditions will continue to prevail.
We congratulate the people of the
country on the great degree of prosperity
now prevailing and ask them to contrast
it with deep depression existing under
democratic rule and then choose the
party with which they will cast their
influence and to which they would trust
their fortune.
We assert that there are only two
parties before the people at this time, by
whatever name they may be called, N
is the republican party, the other the
democratic party. Ali anti-republicans
must work with the democratic party.
Local and transitory parties and frag-
ments of defnnct political organizations
are no benefit to their supporters. In
order for a party to be Of benefit TO its
supporters 1t must have a strong
national organization, as the general
financial condition of the whole people
is affected only by national legislation
and as there are but two national parties
there are only ~twoparties with which
voters can ally themselves with any
