The Republicans Of Dawson county

faith in the we'll established princi-
plies of the Republican party and con-
gratulate the country upon the splen-
did evidence Of prosperity that pre-
walls everywhere. No greater mission
was ever performed than when the
Republican party went forward and
rescued a discontented people from
the whirlpool Of business stagnation
into which the Democratic party had
plunged them.
We endorse the splendid record of
President Roosevelt and believe in
him the country has found a fearless
leader and one who has demonstrates
his ability to deal with great problems
impartially and in a manner that has
inspired the confidence of all political
! parties.

made by the Republican Party in re
deeming their promise made to Cuba,
two years since, by giving to them
an independent form OF government
and firmly establishing them as a
free and independent nation among
the powers Of the earth.
We endorse the record of our repre-.
sentatives in Congress and recommend
1 that the members Of the next legis.
i latne from Dawson county use all
honorable means to secure the re
election to the United States Senate

statesman, A. b. Kittredge.
/ We endorse the record OF Governor
Herlied and the entire state admin
istration. We believe that the bes
interests of the state will be served
by the election Of the entire Repub
lican state ticket at the coming

lieve that the death Of the POpuliS
