merchant marine and we cordially an

gress which created the merchant ma
rine commission to investigate and
report upon this subject.
A navy powerful enough to defend
the United States against any attack,
to uphold the Monroe doctrine and
watch Ovcr our commerce is essential
to the safety and the welfare of the
American people. To maintain such a
navy is the fixed policy of the Repub-
llcan party.
We cordially approve the attitude Of
President Roosevelt and congress In
regard to the exclusion of Chinese la
Dor and promise a continuance of the
Republican policy in that direction.
The civil service law was placed on
the statute books by the Republican
party, which has always sustained 1t,
and we renew our former declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and hon.
estly enforced.
We are always mindful of the coun-
try's debt to the soldiers and sailors
of the United States and we believe in
making ample provision for them and
in the liberal administration of the
pension laws.
We favor the peaceful settlement OF
international differences by arbitra-
ton.
PRESENT VIGOROUS FOREIGN
POLICY is COMMENDED.
We commend the vigorous efforts
made by the administration to protect
American citizens in foreign lands and
pledge ourselves to insist upon the
just and equal protection of all our
citizens abroad. 1t is the unquestioned
duty of the government to procure for
all our citizens. without distinction,
the rights of travel and soiourn in
friendly countries and we declare our
selves in favor Of all proper efforts
tending to that end.
Our great interests and u grow
ing commerce in the Orient render the
condition of China of high importance
to the United States. We cordially
commend the policy pursued in that
direction by the administrations Of
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt.
We favor such congressional action
as shall determine whether by special
determinations the elective franchise
In any state has been uncOnStltutlOn
ally limited and if such is the case we
demand that representation in con
gress and in the electoral colleges
shall be proportionately reduced as
directed by the Constitution of the
United States.
Combinations of capital and of labor
are the results of the economic move
ment of the age, but neither must be
permitted to infringe upon the rights
or interests Of the people. Such com
binations when lawfully formed fol
lawful purposes are alike entitled t.
the protection of the laws, but both
are subject to the laws and neither
can be permitted to break them.
The great statesman and patriotic
American, William Mckinley, who was
reelected by the Republican party tt
the presidency four years ago, was as
sassinated Just at the threshold of his
second term. The entire nation
mourned his untimely death and die
that justice to his great qualities 0
mind and character which history will
confirm and repeat.

CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT EXPRESSED

The American people were fortunate
In his to whom they turned
with a trust and confidence which
have been fully justified. President
Roosevelt brought to the great respon-
sibilities thus sadly forced u or him a
clear head, a brave heart, an earnest
patriotism and high ideals of public
duty and public service. True to the
principles of the Republican party and
to the policies which that party had
declared he has also shown himself
ready for every emergency and has
ity and with success.
The confidence Of the people in his
justice, inspired by his public career,
enabled him to render personally an
inestimable service to the country by
bringing about a settlement of the coal
| strike which threatened such disas-
trous results at the opening of winter
in 1902.
Our foreign policy under his admin
istration has not only been able, Wig
orous and dignified, but in the highest
degree successful. The complicated
questions which arose in Venezuela
were settled in such a way by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the Monroe doc
trine was signally indicated and the
cause of peace and arbitration greatly
advanced.
His prompt and vigorous action in
Panama, which we commend in the
highest terms, not only secured to us
the canal route but avoided foreign
complications which might have been
Of a very serious character.

ard, which was then menaced with de-
%struction. Confidence returned to bust.
ness and with confidence an unex-
ampled prosperity.
For deficient re senles supplement-
ed by imprOvident issues OF bonds we
gave the country an income which
produced a large surplus and which
enabled us only four years after the
Spanish war had closed to remove over
500, OOO, 900 of annual war taxes, re-
duce the public debt and lower the
interest charges of the government.
The public credit, which had been
SO lowered that in time of peace a
democratic administration made large
loans at extravagant rates of interest
in order to pay current expenditures,
rose under Republican administration
to it's highest point and enabled US to
borrow at 2 per cent even in time OF
war.
We refused to falter longer with the
miseries Of Cuba. We fought a quick
and victorious war with Spain. We
set Cuba free, governed the island for
three years and then gave it to the
Cuban people with order restored,
with ample revenues, with education
and public health established, free
from debt and connected with the
United States by wise provisions for
our mutual interests.
We have organized the government
of Porto Rico and it's people now en-
JOY peace. freedom, order and pros
perity.

Andrew Hamre and Mrs. Louise
Erickson were married at Valley City
last Saturday Judge Moe, we under

bridal couple returned home last Mon
day and have settled down to house
keeping in their residence on Len

to chronicle such an event as this and
Judge Moe will perhaps never again
be called upon to unite = like couple.
The blushing bride is young lady Of
only n summers while the BRIDE
groom is Is hoary old man Of 26. The
marriage was great surprise to the
relatives and friends Of the couple
who were astonished when they heard
Of it. This is . free country and =
man or woman has right to marry
whom they please, at the same time
we are Of the opinion that the mar
rage Is unnatural and should never
have been allowed. We are told that
our home officials refused to issue q
license which position is backed up|
by tht entire population Of the city.
