Nominate Birdsall-R Resolutions.


Nominate I-Resolutions.
Hampton. Ia. Sept 26.-Judge r. p.
Birdsan. of Clarion. Ia. was yesterday

district Republican convention. The
nomination. was made on the second
ballot by a vote of SS TO 26 for C. f..
Ransier. of Buchanan. The Third dis
trict is at presentrepresented by Speak
er Henderson. who recently declined a
denomination. The report of the COM
mittee on resolutions was adopted, as
follows:
I'VE. the representatives of the Re
publicanSA of the Third congressional
district of Iowa. Sheartily indorse the
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 to he
nearly a reiteration of and to mean
no more than the st. Louis plank OF
1896. which recited: We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates is a practical
question to be governed by the condi-
tions of the times and of production.
The ruling and uncompriSing prin-
ciple is the protection and development
of American labor and industry"
The presidents policy is then in
dorsed and the following said about
Henderson,: I'VE most earnestly re-
gret the declination of the renomina-
ton which the Republicans of this dis
trict for the eleventh time unanimous
ly rendered the Hon. D. r. Hender-
son. We have faith in his
patriotism and in his personal and
political integrity. We real
ize his superb leadership and COM
manding influence in governmental af-
fairs and believe that his withdraw
al means a great loss to the people"

Alger and Ferry was made on mo-
ton to adopt the minority recon-
mendation of the committee on resoiu-
tions. to the effect that no express
sion of a sentiment of the conven-
tion on the senatorial candidacy of
aDv one be taken.
The test vote by a roll call of coun-
ties rejected the minority report by Il
vote of 427 yeas to 5SS nays. The ma
jority report which indorsed General
Alger was then adopted without an op-
posing vote. amid loud and continued
cheering from the Alger supporters. At

was unanimously adopted. The great
struggle of the Alger and Ferry forces
followed over the majority and mi
niority reports on the matter of in
dorsing General Alger for the United
States senate. Both factions were
primed for the fight. Supporters of
General Alger decided Wednesday
night to put a resolution through the
convention supporting the candidacy,o of
the ex-secretary of war for the Unit
ed States senate. The forces of DeX-
ter NJ. Ferry. of Detroit, determined
TO vigorously oppose the consideration
of the senatorial issue by the con-
ventin. The state central committee
voted against the senatorial resolu-
tions. When nominations were reached
Judge Sheppard. of Bay City. was
named against Carpenter, but his name
was withdrawn later.
