man.
Former Senator David Z. Dick, OF
Allegany, made a speech while the
committee on resolutions was out.
He said every man who loved his par
ty had a right to feel proud of the
unanimity of the Republicans of the
Sixth District. The Republican par
ty had reason to congratulate itself.
He predicted Col. Pearre would be
reelected by still greater majority.
His fearlessness and fidelity to duty
has won him the esteem of men of all
parties. When the speaker referred
to Col. Pearre's opposition to civil
service there was loud applause. He
has in Congress sustained the great
principles handed down by Mckinley
and continued by President Roose-
welt. This policy will be sustained
by the people of the Sixth District by
an unprecedented majority. The par
ty in this State is ready to stand on
its past record; it has always redeem
ed its pledges.
Arthur Willard, of Frederick coun-
county, also made brief speech. He
said the old and young, the high and
low, had come to give honor to Col.
Pearre, who has done all in his power
to settle disputes between capital and
labor, and in all questions of public
policy he has not been found want
ing. The whole district is crying for
Pearre's nomination.
DIR. w. c. Boteler, of Frederick
county, spoke of the great and useful
men which his historic county had
produced, among others the hero of
Santiago Bay, Winfield Scott Schley.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted;
The Republicans of the Sixth Dis
trict in convention assembled con-
graduate the people of the country
upon the prosperous business condi-
lions now generally prevailing as a
direct result of the development of
the policy OF the Republican party.
! We are proud of the fact that our
representative in Congress, Hon. Geo.
A. Pearre, has been a prominent fac.
tor in bringing about and maintain
ing the policy of our party and has
taken high rank in the halls of Con-
gress on account of his ability, intel
ligence and general conception of the
needs not only of our own Congress
sional district, but of the whole
country.
We commend him for his faithful
service, fidelity to duty, and general
efficiency, and earnestly recommend
his denomination by reclamation and
call upon all lovers of good govern
ment irrespective of party to rally to
his support in the coming campaign.
We deplore the death of our great
I leader, William Mckinley, but rejoice
in the fact that he has left as a heri-
tage to his fellow citizens character
so patriotic and statesmanlike that
his influence will strengthen for good
in all the future history of our nation.
We commend the vigorous policy
of the Administration.
We endorse and look with pride
upon the splendid record and achieve
ments of our fellow citizen, United
States Senator Louis E. McComas.
His marked ability, craftsmanship
and Fidelity to duty has given him
rank among the nations most dis
tinguished statesmen.
Mr.. 7. G. Pownall, of Allegany,
placed Col. Pearre in nomination.
His speech was a masterpiece of ora
tory and sound logic. Seconding
speeches were made by Arthur Will
lard, of Frederick; Scott T. Jones, OF
Garrett; John G. Wilson, Allegany;
B. H. Warner, Montgomery, and
Capt. L. H. Kuhn, Washington
county.
On motion of Senator Dick, the

of Allegany; A. H. Harrington, OF
Frederick; S. T. Jones, of Garrett;
w. H. Rock, of Montgomery, and
Moses Whitson, of Washington coun-
ty were named committee to notify
Col. Pearre, whom they escorted to
