Resolutions.
Resolved, We heartily endorse the
administration of our president, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and look forward with
pleasing anticipation to the certainty
of his denomination by reclamation
at the coming national convention,
endorsing the official acts of his ad-
ministration which have inspired the
country with confidence in the stabil-
ity of business affairs.
Turning from our national admin
istration to state affairs, we are proud
of the able and conscientious admin
istration of Governor Cummins and
heartily endorse the same.
We take especial pride in the rec
ord of Hon. John F. Lacey, our fellow
citizen and member of congress from
this district, and unqualifiedly en-
dorse his denomination by acclama-
ton.
We take pride in the high rank he
has taken in national affairs and the
he is held by his fellow mem
bers and his high standing in the
of the people of his dis
trict, state and nation.
Upon this record we pledge him our
hearty and united support and shall
him at the general election
BY greater majority than ever be-
FORE
A party's platforms are a part of
its history, but the supreme test OF
the republican party's claim to pres
ent and future confidence must be
based upon what it has done.
1t has met and rightly solved each
great and passing question as it has
arisen.
The policy of protection, to which
our party stands pledged, is historic:
1t is the American system; it has
been measured again and again by
the only sure test in human affairs.
the test of experience, and the re-
suits of that policy have never led
to disappointment.
We rejoice at the restored and con-
tinued prosperity which has followed
the return to the protective princi-
pie, and we confidently look to the ma
tional republican convention for an
declaration of continued
faith in that doctrine which has
proved so beneficial to the whole
country.
Reciprocal treaties, made within
the principles of protection, and
which do not sacrifice or impair our
own industries, meet with our ap-
prevail.
We endorse Senator Allison, Sena-
tor Dolliver, Governor Cummins and
J. W. Blythe as delegates-at-large to
he national republican convention.
