The resolutions and platform of the
Republican Assembly Convention,
held in Millville Thursday afternoon.
are as follows:
ga oontented people, enjoying the
fruits of magnificent prosperity, make
up this the greatest nation in the
whole world. Pointing with unsul-
lied pride to recent magnificent
achievements in adding to the nations
new Republic and going to the other
side OF the world to give honest gov
ernment and contented freedom to a
semi-civilized and oppressed people,
the United States attracts the atten-
tion and gains the admiration of the
whole world, and adds luster and
glory to the grandest flag of any ma
tion. All this accomplished by the
courage, valor, patriotism of the
greatest soldiers in the world, max
ing up armies of truest citizenship,
volunteering from every phase of
American life, a free will Offering to
the worlds advancement and the alb
solute freedom of it's people.
"These achievements, directed by
the patriotic spirit of honest Republic
can administration guided by the
craftsmanship of the Nations great
est men, born of Mckinley and con-
TUNED by Roosevelt, in the face of
constant opposition of jealous political
montebanks, appeal to the people and
are sustained by the same patriotism
that made this Republic and preserved
the Union.
And while all this has been gener-
ously accomplished for a foreign, dis
tressed people, the guiding spirit of
a Republican administration has
given its own people a prosperity and
contentment that it has never known,
and the nation to-day is richer,
grander, better than in all it's history
before.
with all these achievements, so
we'll accomplished, we join with the
nation in approving, endorsing and
encouraging the administration of
President Roosevelt and the men he
has called about him to carry out the
policies of the lamented Mckinley.
"It is alike gratifying to the people
OF Cumberland county that the First
and Second Congressional Districts
have re-nominated and heartily en-
dorsed Hon. Henry Clay LoudensIager
and Hon. John g. Gardner, who have
added the strength of the character
and ability in the consummation of
the national advancement
with the progress of the Nation,
the State of New Jersey has kept it's
place, and to the earnest, honest
counsels of Republican leadership
must be ascribed it's success. Wiping
out embarrassing indebtedness, rid
ding the treasury of useless extrava-
gance, by wise legislation providing
sustaining income, the Republican
party has built up it's public institu-
tions for the benefit of the people, and
reduced it's local taxation by aiding
the counties in the support of their
magnificent schools. The administra-
tion of Governor Franklin J. Murphy
follows the same progressive, high
plane of his illustrious predecessors.
with the advancement of Hon.
Edward O. Stokes in the affairs of the
State, the people of Cumberland county
were compelled to select successor
to take the place which he had filled
with such signal success and earnest
ability and it is source of greatest
qualification that in Hon. Bloomfield
H. Minoh worthy successor was OBJ
tanned. Following so able a prede-
cessor he was called upon to exercise
his best efforts, and his first year in
the Senate gives promise that Cum
berland county will continue to have
influence and distinction in legislative
affairs
"In the House of Assembly Hon.
Louis H. Miller added character and
ability and easily earned for himself
further consideration of his constitu
ENJOY, and with his colleague Hon.
VIM. j. Moore, is entitled to the
well wishes of the people they served.
"The support of the Republican
party of this county is easily pledged
to the nominees Of this Convention
and their candidacy is commended to
all fair-minded citizens who are ear
nest for the prosperity and good
government of the State. We believe
that the people should rule through
their representatives, and we urge
