the committee ON resolutions today
was adopted by the'convention as FOL-
lows:
I'VE, the representatives Of the Re-
publicans OF the Third congressional
district Of Iowa, heartily indorse tie
platform Of principles adopted by the
late Republican state convention at
Des Moines We deny that the Ding
ley tariff breeds and shelters trusts,
We interpret the tariff plank in the
Des Moines platform Of 1902 as merely
q reiteration Of and to mean no more
than the st. Louis plank Of 1895, which
recited.
owe are not pledged TO any partlcu-
lar schedules. The question OF rates
Is a practical question to be governe
by the conditions OF the times and Of
production. The ruling and uncCmpro-
missing principle is the protection and
development Of the American labor
industry.
I'VE cordially recognize and earnest
~ commend the patriotic fervor Of
Prest Roosevelt, and the wisdom OF
both the foreign and domestic policies
OF his administration which are add
ing constantly TO the high reputation
" the Nation abroad and the pros
perlty of the people AZ home.
I'VE most earnestly regret the de-.
clination OF the denomination which the
Republicans Of this district for the
eleventh. time unanimously rendered
Hon. d. b. Henderson. No official has
been more anxious TO keep In touch
with and faithfully represent the well
considered judgment Of his constitu
ents than has Col. Henderson during
all the long years of his congress
sional career. We have faith In his
patriotism and in his personal and po'
litical integrity. We realize his superb
leadership and commanding influence
in governmental affairs, and believe
that his withdrawal means a great loss
TO the people"
Judge Blrdsall Il about 40 years old.
The only Office he has ever held Is the
judgeship of the district court, which
he resigned a year ago 10 resume the
practice OF law in Clarion.
