BIRDSALL NAMED.
To Make Race for Congress in
Henderson's District.

Hampton, Ia, Sept. 26.-Judge B. p
Birdsall, of Clarion, Ia, was nominated
for congress by the Third district Repub-
lican convention. The nomination was
made on the second ballot by a vote of IS
to 26 for c. E. Ransier, of Buchanan. The
Third district is at present represented by
the speaker of the national house. David
b. Henderson, who recently declined a
denomination. The report of the COM
mittee on resolutions was adopted by the
convention follows.
Eve, the representatives of the Repub-
licans of the Third congressional district
of Iowa, heartily endorse the platform of
principles adopted by the late Republi-
can state convention at Des Moines We
deny that the Dingley tariff breeds and
shelters trusts. We interpret the tariff
plank in the Des Moines platform OF 1902
to be nearly a reiteration of and to mean
no more than the st. Louis plank of 1895,
which recited
We are not pledged to any particular
schedules. The question of rates is a
practical question to be governed by the
conditions of the times and of production.
The ruling and unconpromising principle
is the protection and development of
American labor and industry
I'VE cordially recognize and earnestly
commend the patriotic fervor of President
Roosevelt and the wisdom of both the for
eign and domestic policies of his admin
istration which are adding constantly to
the high reputation of the nation abroad
and the prosperity of the people at home.
I'VE most earnestly regret the declina-
tion of the denomination which the Re
publicans of this district for the eleventh
time unanimously rendered the Hon. D. B.
Henderson. No official has been more
anxious to keep in touch with and faith
fully represent the well considered judg-
ment of his constituents than has Colonel
Henderson during all the long years of
his congressional career. We have faith
IN his patriotism and in his personal and
political integrity. We are conscious of
his great mental power and ability. We
realize his superb leadership and COM
manding influence in governmental affairs
and believe that his withdrawal of his
name is a great loss to the people,
Judge Birdsal1 is about As years old. The
only office he has ever held is the Judge
ship of the district court which he re-
signed q year ago to resume the practice
of law in Clarion.
