As p. m.
Resolutions as Adopted.
The following are the resolutions in
full as finally adopted by the conven
tion:
We, your committee on resolutions
beg leave to submit the following:
Whereas, at the last territorial Re.
publican convention, we were called
upon to mourn the tragic and untimely
death of our beloved President, Will
lam Mckinley; and now the sad news
comes to us that his nearest friend
and adviser. the head of our national
party organization, has followed his
great chief of the world beyond:
Be it resolved That in the death of
| Marcus A. Hanna, the nation has lost
one of it's greatest statesmen, the
! Senate one of its foremost members,
the Republican party it's able, trusted
and wise leader and the people gener-
ally one of their truest friends in
whatever station or condition they
might be. He was always to be relied
upon for advice, and assistance, wise
counsel and prompt action in their be-
half In him was embodied the true
idea of American citizenship; self
made man in its best meaning, he was
an example to our youth and monu-
ment to our institutions which can
produce such a character That our
heartfelt sympathy is extended to his
5ereaved family in the loss of one SO
dear to them.
Resolved, That on this fiftieth ami
versary of the birth of the Republican
party, we are profoundly grateful to
the Providence which called it into ex-
istence, and has protected it during
these so years in it's work for the good
of the people and the glory of the ma
tion. While it has met with reverses,
checks and hindrances, and three of its
chosen Presidents have met untimely
death while in the discharge of their
duty, yet it has never wavered in it's
onward course, nor halted in it's pro-
gress for the good of the whole peO-
pie; it has not been welded to it's
idols of the past, but has foreseen new
isSnes and conditions and been prompt |
to deal with them as they arose. That
the conduct of national affairs upon
tt, declaration of the Philadelphia
pi form of 1900, first under President
Nj Ktnley, and afterwards by President
Ro aaevelt. meets with our cordial ap-
proval and highest admiration, especi-
ally the administration of the Philip
pines, the passage of the law provid-
ina eor irrigation sites and reservoirs,
ano the consummstion of the treaty
rr.a which eaaal Mn> shortly be
by the United States and
under it's control for the commerce of
the world, mark an era in the nations
for which the Republican ad
is entitled to the credit.
Resolved, That the administration
)f President Roosevelt during the per-
od of nearly three years, in which he
has been at the head of the nation. as
he successor of the lamented McKin-
ey, merits our highest admiration and
approval. He has carried out the poll
,y and expressed wishes of his pre-
iecessor, and has met new issues and
when they arose as he be-
ieved Mckinley would have done. To
1im more than any other belongs the
credit of the consummation of that
great project, the Isthmian Canal en-
:irely under American control, which
or years past has been the hope of
he people. And by his vigorous prose-
,ution of illegal trusts, his impartial
attitude toward labor and capital, his
investigation of alleged
frauds and corruption in the postof
ice and land departments of the gov
srnment, has demonstrated the same
qualities which caused the people to
select him four years ago as suitable
md proper person for the high office
If Vice President And we believe
hat he has earned the right to occupy
1y the suffrages of the people, the
,reat Office which he now holds by op-
,ration of the law Therefore, we in
,truct our delegates to the national
convention to vote for, and use all
means to secure the fear
ess, patriotic, strenuous American
Theodore Roosevelt, as the candidate
If the party for President of the Uni
ed States.
Resolved, That the conduct of terri
orial affairs, in all it's branches, un-
Ter the administration of Governor
Miguel A. Otero, merits the highest
,ommendation not only of the Repub-
lean party but from all good citizens.
The public debt has been steadily re-
luced until the last of the $150,0OO, de-
iciency which it inherited from the
administration, has been
,aid. Assessed values have increased
while there is sinking fund on hand
sufficient to meet the maturing bonds.
md interest on the territorial obli
cation has been promptly met.
A uniform system of keeping the
public books and records has been
adopted. and a system of official in
,pection has been introduced, from
