sembled. that we proclaim our fealty to
the principles of the Republican party as
enunciated by the words and exempli6ed
in the lives of Lincoln, of Grant, of Gar

which the union fought in deadly strife
and for which three Presidents of the
United States suffered martyrdom.
Second-We commend the. admins
tration of Theodore Roosevelt and his
advisers in the affairs of the nation, and
ask OF the party his denomination to the
Presidency as but a fitting tribute to his
high character. lofty purposes and rare
craftsmanship.
Third-We earnestly deplore the pres
ent party strife within our own State,
whereby the great and important aims
for Republican success are lost sight of
in struggle for personal advantage and
individual leadership. and we ask of our
party leaders to act in a greater spirit of
conclliation and harmony and to subject
their personal ambitions to that greater
object-party success in Maryland.
Fourth-We pledge our party in the
Assembly of Maryland to enact laws for
the protection of the ballot and for an
honest ful6llment ofthe rights guaranteed
every citizen by the Constitution of the
State of Maryland.
Fifth-We deplore the present condi-
ton of the oyster industry, whereby so
large a number of our citizens earn their
livelihood, and pledge our represent
atives in the Assembly to enact better
laws for its protection and to save this,
our greatest natural source of wealth,
from ultimate destruction.
Sixth-We deplore the unbusinesslike
and wasteful use of the public money in
Anne Arundel county, whereby exces-
sively high taxes have become neces-
sary and grevious burden upon all her
citizens. pledging our County Commits
sloners to the adoption of such rules and
practices as will affect economies in every
branch of the county's finances and re-
suit in putting Anne Arundel county upon
safe, wise and economical cash basis.
