tion which met in Oakland Tuesday
was one of interest, yet of short dura'
ton, being in session a few minutes
over an hour. Every district in the
county was represented by large del
egations and the enthusiasm with
which the convention endorsed the

the County Republican Committee,
called the convention to order.
Col. A. g. Sturgiss, of No IA, was
made its chairman and DR.. Fl. NJ.

the following report:
Be it resolved by the Republicans
of Garrett county in convention as
sembled-
That the temporary organization
be made the permanent organization
of this convention.
That we recognize the unexcelled
prosperous condition of our country
to be direct result of wise and iu-
dicious management of National af-
fairs by those in authority, the policy
pursued inspiring trust and conf
dence, and demonstrating the fact
that so long as the reins of this Coy
eminent remain in the hands of the
party now in power, that the affairs
thereof will be wisely and economical
ly administered and managed in the
best interests of the whole American
people, and fully believing that the
principles enunciated and practiced
by the great Republican party, will
not only insure continuance of the
present prosperous conditions, but
will lead to even better and more ben
eficial results.
We therefore heartily endorse the
wise and patriotic policy inaugurated
by the pure, noble and martyred Nc
Kinley, and SO ably and faithfully
carried out by President Roosevelt,
and we pledge ourselves answering
ly to stand by and uphold our wise
and courageous President in the fur
Their administration of the great trust
and possibilities committed to his
keeping.
We heartily commend and approve
of the course pursued by Hon. Louis
E. McComas in the United States
Senate in upholding the administra-
ton in the policy outlined and pur-
sued by the President of United States
and we especially commend him for
his defense of the brave soldiers of
our army who are defending and up
holding the honor of our country.
We admire, and heartily endorse
the course pursued by our own i'm
mediate representative, Hon. George
a. Pearre, and the earnest support
he has given to the principles of the
party and the policy of the admins
tration, and commend his whole
course in the Congress of the United
States. He has been faithful to his
trust, industrious, attentive and ac-
commodating; active in all matters
affecting the interests of his constit-
uency and accomplishing much for
the general good of the whole Dis
trict. He is an able and energetic
representative, untiring in his efforts
for the promotion of the welfare OF
the people, and we therefore recon-
mend to the Sixth Congressional Dis
