bill Russell's companion said that there
was no need of making change as he
had plenty of small change in his poe

planned that he was mistaken. Russell
then handed bill to Flint which was
supposed to have been the same five
dollar note that he had first offered

Special to Times Republican.
/ Denison, June 27.-The Crawford
county republican convention, held here
yesterday afternoon selected delegates
to the state convention and adopted
resolutions embodying the Iowa idea in
a modified form. The fact that this is
Secretary Shaw's home and that he
dominates the politics &c the county TO
a considerable extent lent additional
Interest to the tariff resolutions. The
resolution on the tariff follows:
I'VE attribute the unparalleled pros
perity of the country since the begin
Iring of the Mckinley administration in
a large degree to the policy of protec-
! ton which has been maintained by the
republican party and we unqualitiedly
declare ourselves in favor of the prin-
! ciple of protection. Under its influence
millions of laboring men have found
| employment at good wages: home mar
kets have been built UP for the sale of
the products of farm and factory. and a
condition of general prosperity prevails
turnout every section of the country.
The question of schedules is a prac-
teal one to be governed by conditions
of time and production, and we further
recognize that business and industrial
conditions may change so that neces-
sity may arise for rea0justing tariff
schedules. and under such conditions
changes should be made: keeping in
mind the saving principle of protec-
ton.
1--WE denounce the democratic policy
of tariff for revenue only as one fraught
with ruin to American Industry. bring
Ing idleness and suffering to American
labor and hardship to the country in
general.
The convention also took cognizance
of the postal frauds in the following
language:
I'VE approve the vigor With which
his administration has undertaken to
purge the postal department of the
government from the suspicion of fraud
and corruption: and we commend his
acts and the acts of the republican par
tv in looking toward the correction OF
trust evils and favor such further
course OF action as shall prevent eN
tortion without hindering the devel-
onment of American resources by
American capital"
The resolutions also heartily endorse
the Roosevelt administration, recon-
mend his denomination and refer to
Governor Cummins. Secretary Shaw
and Congressman Conner in terms of
the highest praise. The delegates
chosen are +. w. Meyers, a. Wright, !
