BURTON. GET IN LINE.
Lyon Co. Republicans Request
Him to Stand by Roosevelt.

The resolutions adopted by the Lyon
county Republican convention Saturday
We're written by ". A. White. The main
feature in them was the request to Sen
ator Burton to stand by President
Roosevelt on Cuban reci iorOcity- The
resolutions were as follows:
Eve the Republicans of Lyon county
meeting in convention. at the thresh-
old of our work proclaim our thanks
to Providence for the happy conditions
which surround US. We seem to be go
ing into q year made on purpose for the
Kansas farmer and we rejoice tat the
bounty which nature is heaping before
US, shall be guarded In the harvest by
wise laws made by the Republican par
ty in our state and in our nation.
We send our warmest greeting ana
heartiest loyalty to the American sol
diers in the Philippines many of whom
are Lyon county boys. We are proud of
their achievements and we pledge them
that support which Republicans give to
American soldiers always and in every
Vicissitude. Our faith in their integrity,
inspires our pride in their courage.
I'VE come before the people of Lyon
county in this campaign the champions
of the record of President Roosevelt. He
came into his Office after great trag-
edy which took " illiam Mckinley from
us and removed good great kind wise
statesman from the guidance of our ma
tional affairs. Roosevelt has taken up
McKin1ey'S work and made it his very
own. Under Mckinley America gave
cuba freedom, under Roosevelt Cuba
took her Independent place among the
nations of the earth. Our duty to Cuba
today is a moral one and not a COM
mercial obligation, and we affirm the
loyalty and faith in President Roose-
velt's view of that duty as expressed by
the recent Republican state convention.
and we most earnestly request Senator
Burton to stand by the Republican ad
ministration on this great moral issue.
We point to the magnificent record
made by the Kansas congressional DEL
egatiOn in the house of representa- atives
on this and other questions as guide
to our senator By advocating the
moral side of a moral issue. Chester I.
Long has become a national leader, and
by good hard work for his state ChaS.
Curtis has become a peerless represen-
tatiVe of KanSaS, and the whole dele
cation in the lower house has given
Kansas the name in American affairs
that she had in the days of Plumb and
ingalls, and their famous cO-WOrkers in
the lower house.
AS citizens OF Lyon county and Re
publlcans of the Fourth congressional
district we pledge our unswerving sup
port to Congressman James NJ. Miller,
His efficiency as legislator and his
honesty and worthiness as represen-
tatiVe Of the people of this district have
had numerous shining exam pies and we
most sincerely thank him for getting d
government building at Emporia We
promise him 10 crystaliZe our gratitude
into the biggest majority for Miller that
any congressman ever received in Lyon
county.
we congratulate ourselves that in
the approaching campaign we will have
the ightforward administration a.
Governor Stanley to use as an evidence
of what Republicans VIII do when they
have the state administration. In en-
dorsing unequivocally the strong state
ticket named by the state convention al
Wichita last month. We can promise the
people nothing better than a cOntinu-
ance of the honest, capable administra-
ton given to Kansas by Governor Stan
ley and his associates.
In county affairs we stand where we
have always stood, for the demand that
u dollars worth of taxes going out Of
the treasury shall bring to the people
full dollars worth Of necessary ser
vice In this demand we point to our
record as pledge that the demand will
be fulfilled"
There was a minority report which
ignored instructions to Burton. That
report was defeated, as the majority re
port was adopted with cheers
