Resolutions.
Resolved by the republicans of the
Sixth Congressional District of Iowa
in convention assembled:
"a year has not yet elapsed since
the tragic death of President Mckinley
and it is with feelings of deepest per-
sonal sorrow that We recall this fer
full crime against the entire nation.
President McKinley's name is ens,Irin-
ed in the hearts of all his countrymen
and will live il history with those of
the nations greatest and best men.
That We endorse and reiterate the
principles enunciated in the republican
national convention at Philadelphia in
June, 1900, and the republican state
convention at Cedar Rapids in August.
1901.
We renew our faith in the policy
of protection to American labor. In
that policy our industries have been
established, diversified and maintain-
ed By protecting the home market
the competition has been stimulated
and production cheapened. Opportunity
to the inventive genius of our people
has been secured and wages in every
department of labor maintained at high
rates, higher now than ever before,
always distinguishing our working
people in their better conditions of life
from those of any competing country.
I'VE recognize the necessity and
propriety of the honest cooperation of
capital to meet new business condi-
tions and especially to extend our rap
idly increasing foreign trade, but we
condemn all conspiracies and combin-
atoms intended to restrict business, to
create monopolies, to limit production
or to control prices, and favor such
legislation as will effectually restrain
and prevent all such abuses, protect
and promote competition, and secure
the rights of producers, laborers and
all who are engaged in industry and
commerce.
"That we heartily endorse the able,
aggressive and patriotic administra-
ton of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Called to the executive Office under cir
cumstances OF peculiar embarrassment,
he has discharged the duties of his
high place in such manner as to in
spire the pride of all progressive
Americans. We especially commend
his wise and courageous stand in IA
vor of reciprocity with Cuba, and his
fearless hostility to combinations in re-
straint of trade.
THAT We endorse the record made
by Hon. John F. Lacey in the able SER
vices he has always rendered the sixth
congressional district of Iowa in the
national house of representatives; that
we recognize in him a safe, prudent
and wise representative. That his
broad minded craftsmanship has not
only won for him a place in the AZTEC.
tons of the people Of this district, but,
brought honor to the great state of
Iowa, that we extend to him renomi-
nation for another term, to represent
| the sixth district of Iowa in congress,
| by reclamation.
THAT we refer with pride to the con-
tinued unparalleled prosperity of the
country brought about in spite Of the
violent protests of the Bryan democ-
racy through the sound financial and
protective policies of the republican
party.
1--WE heartily endorse the vigorous
administration of state affairs of Gov

fullest confidence in his ability to hold
the state up to the highest standard Of
advancement

Hon. B. F. Carroll of Davis coanty for
the office of auditor of state and We
