We, the republicans of Custer county
in convention assembled, declare our
confidence in the principles
and policies of the Republican party,
through the enforcement of which the
United States has attained front rank as
q world power.
The country is to be congratulated on
the great measure Of prosperity that has
come under the wise and statesman
like administration inaugurated by the
lamented Mckinley and continued by
President Roosevelt.
We recognize great achievements in
state craft of VIM. Mckinley as Presi-
dent of the United States, and our coun-

menace to civil government Of the teach
ing and promulgation of the principles
that actuated his assassin.
We believe the administration ofGoy.
ernor Herreid has been the most sue
cessful Of any since the state was admit
ted into the Union. By the wisdom and
efficiency of his administrative acts he
has reflected credit upon the party and
The state.
We heartily endorse the excellent
work of Senator A. B. Kittredge in the
senate of the United States, and favor
his continuance in that Office.
We approve the course Of our repre-
in congress and national af-
fairs, and it is with especial pride and
we note that all of the as
,urances made by the Black Hills two
years ago as to the ability, integrity and
honor of Honorable Eben w. Martin
haye been more than fulfilled. His
work in Congress has been energetic and
effective, and we pledge the delegates of
this convention to every effort to secure
his continuance as representative from
South Dakota.
We deplore the death, in the prime of
his manhood, of the Honorable John l..
Pyle, attorney general, and respectfully
suggest that the state convention to be
held at Sioux Falls on June 4th, next,
express by suitable resolution the loss
