attempt to close our mills, chill our furnaces,

times of peace turn over TO the foreign manu-
facture and laborer the work that belongs to our
own people and make our wives and children go
hungry and ragged as was the case in the bitter
days of the last Cleveland administration.
The Republican party has nothing to fear
from free election, an honest ballot and fair
count.
We therefore favor the passage by the next
legislature of an effective general primary cleo
law, personal registry laws, an improved and
simplitied ballot law, eliminating all objection
able features of the present law, and such laws
as will make it easy to expose and promptly pun
ish fraud at elections.
Res0lUed, That we cherish the memory of that
just and broad minded man William Mckinley,
not only asa Republican, but as a humanc man
and patriot
William Mckinley was u man whose life was
entirely and absolutely Of service to interests
higher and broader than party orsef. He had
his years of obscurity his years ofquiet growth
and unnoticcd progress and now in light of his
recognized greatness we do well to preserve his
memory with the tribute of martyrs crown Of
unending love and reverence and gratitude.
We most hartily and fully endorse the official
acts Of President Roosevelt who dares to be
President in fact as well as in name and who is
not afraid to take the American people into his
confidence.
We concur with his ideas of the proper policy
of the government rs expressed in his New Eng
land and Western speeches and we promise him
our earnest and undivided support in carrying
out his purposes so expressed and our assistance
in his nomination and election in 1901.

administration Of Governor William \. Stone
and the state department under his charge.
