Chairman Packard spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of the
| convention: have to thank the county
central committee for the honor of this
opportunity to renew my faith and
pledge my fidelity to the representa-
| tives of the Marshall county republic
cans. The duties of the convention
will not awaken much concern since
| the loaves and fishes have been wisely
distributed thru the authority Of the
voters in the recent primary election.
| The county ticket challenges our loya!
support, containing the names of some
of our most gifted and eminent men,
! bers of our party. and. meriting our
approval, must receive the votes of Il
united party. The tenets of our party
have become the watchwords of pros
perity and peace. How many of our
| political opponents stop to consider
that the marvellous growth and adj
vancement in wealth, education, and
power among the nations of the earth,
has been promoted and reached thru
the political direction of the republican
party.
"A country SO great and prosperous
that it is attracting to our shores half
million Of emigrants per month, and
finding employment, yet there is a null
titude needed to supply the demand
in the Industrial work of our country.
Protected industries, sound currency,
reciprocal arrangements with nations
here and there. where we would gain
new markets. will continue our prodig-
ious progress in the commercial world.

and her statesmen; we repose conf

the nation and in none more than in
those, our own great leaders, in the
senate, the house, and the cabinet. In
our governor and the officers of the
state, Iowa adds new lustre to an al
ways we'll governed state; we have an
abiding faith in Cummins and compe-
tition, and none in monopoieS and
mungwumps. Have our democratic
brethren no pride of country, that they
always oppose the measures which have
promoted the healthful growth and
progress of our country; that they fo.-
low the leaders that have made them
support states rights, wild cat money
free trade, silver currency, populism
or any old thing which has been con-
demned by the republican party? The
flag is yours as well as ours, but Rooss-
welt is nearer to it than Bryan. That
flag holds dominion under the tropical
sun and in the frigid arctic night, over
q mighty continent, and on the isles OF
the oceans on both sides of the earth.
so that the sun never sets on the star
spangled banner. Have pride in the
things which point TO the destiny of our
glorious country"
