The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-10-24

safed to the country through the exc
cution of the principles and policies
for which William Mckinley stood,
Eve bow submissively to the will of
Divine Providence in permitting that
| great, noble, pure and unselfish man
to be stricken down by the assassin's
blow. In dying at the post of duty he
left an example of Christian charity,
heroism and fortitude which consti-
tues a fitting close to his pure, lofty
and unselfsh life. We congratulate
our fellow citizens upon the particu-
lar good fortune which gave to us in
his successor, by operation of law,
chief magistrate who has justly
earned the approval of all the people,
without reference to party.
1--WE commend the patriotism, judg-
ment and devotion to republican prfn-
ciples exemplified by the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt, and we
favor his nomination as the party
candidate in 1904 We reaffirm our
faith in the principles, policies and
purposes of the republican party as
set forth in its national platform
adopted at Philadelphia in 1900.
While thus announcing ourselves
in favor of the party of protection to
American labor and American indus
try, we condemn as hypocritical and
insincere the pretensions of Montana
democrats that they can favor a
duty on wool and free trade in wool
en- and manufactured goods and all
the other products of American labor.
1--WE are in sympathy with the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt,
and stand unalterably opposed to
trusts and combinations of capital
intended to restrain trade, stifie COM
, petition artifcially enhance prices Or
and in this connection we call the
, special attention of the electors Of
, Montana to the contrast between the
, eight years of servile subsection to
trusts and combinations by the Cleve-
, land administration, as compared
! with the vigorous, fearless and I'M
compromising execution of the law
) under the administration of President
Roosevelt. The same laws were upon
the statute books during the Cleve-
land administration that were found
{ upon the statute books by Theodore
Roosevelt. Cleveland was inactive,
{ inert and subservient to corporate
combinations and trusts; Roosevelt
) has invoked the law and the spirit
of the law for the suppression of un-
{ lawful trusts and combinations, and
t we call upon the people of Montana,
| by their vote, to approve his course
9 in this behalf.
t eve are unalterably opposed to
any revision of the protective tariff
+ by the free trade democracy, but we
: favor such revision of the tariff as
r Theodore Roosevelt stands for. In
e announcing our cordial approval OF
! the administration of Theodore
t Roosevelt, we desire to call specia
attention to the fact that he is the
n first president of the United States
s who, fully comprehending the posi-
: bilities of the intermountain country
# recommended government aid for The
S reclamation of the arid lands. While
Z counting support for this movement
l. from all parties and conditions o.
S men, we submit to the electors O.
e Montana that the claim that this
). movement originated with the demo
l. cratic representatives or senators il
l. at variance with the truth, and WI
r pledge the republican party of Mon
e tana to continue an unfailing supper
IS of President Roosevelt in the move
Il ment for the reclamation of deser
r lands.
l. eve approve the policy inaugural
l. ed by President Mckinley and con
e tinued under the administration o
n President Roosevelt, for the uplifting
n of all the inhabitants of all the pos
n sessions acquired by the Un1tet
n States as the result of war will
Spain, and we call upon the peopl
n of Montana to condemn and resen
o. by their votes the un-American, IN
1T patriotic and reasonable representa-
IS tives and politicians condemning tn
o. army of the United States while fight
e ing in the field to maintain the homo
% of the flag. With particular prophet
II may the republicans of Montana re
Of sent the vile, cruel and unpatrioti
e. criticism of it's volunteer soldiers VIII
ID went forward at the presidents cal
1T to fight the battles, some of whom
surrendered their lives in distan
ef climes for the honor and glory of tn
t. American flag.
ID 1--WE commend as responsive to tn
I'd spirit of the age and in harmon
