olutions was then read, as follows:
The unparalleled prosperity Of our
country and the wonderful increase in
our foreign trade we believe is due to
the wise craftsmanship of our Repub-
lican leaders. and faithful adherence
to the national policy of protection and
reciprocity as outlined and promul-
gated by William Mckinley and so
emphatically Endorsed and interpreted
by President Roosevelt.
I'VE commend the president Of tho
United States for his straightforward
and manly course on all public ques-
tons. ana for his untiring zeal and
patriotic devotion to the principles of
his party and the welfare of the Amer
lean people.
I'VE point to the harmonious CO..
operation Of our states representa-
tives in congress, and their courageous
stand upon public questions with much
satisfaction, and express our confidence
in their judgment and ability.
I'VE indorse the present administra-
ton as having been wise, economical
and honest: and the party pledges its
candidates to a continued faithful OBJ
servance of the best business interests
of the state in all departments of pub
lie service.
Proud of the achievements of our
army and navy, and mindful of the
glorious record of the North Dakota
volunteers, we resent the attacks on
our army made by Democratic leaders
in congress, and characterize them as
un-American and unpatriotic The
Republican party stands for good gov
eminent and the faithful enforcement
of all existing laws. =: T.
