THE REso LUTIoNs.
We are proud Of the achievement.
Of the republican party in the past
and during the administration Of
the lamented Mckinley and his sue
cessor in office, who has faithful,
and tenaciously adhered to his
policy and carried it into effect.
Owing to the wise and conservative
policy Of the republican party the
country has experienced unparal.
leled prosperity; the public konol
has been maintained, industry fos.
tered, American commerce extended
and American influence enlarged
until the United States is recognized
as world power second to none.
We are proud Of Theodore Roose-
welt and his record and heartily en-.
dorse his administration and favor
his denomination and election.
We condemn and deplore the
methods adopted and pursued by
the county central committee OF this
county in its efforts to continue in
Office the present county officials Of
this county. We unequivocally
condemn gang rule and bossism as
personified in John S. Murphy, and
especially the deplorable and dis
graceful methods used at the caucus
at Minot on May II. 1904, and also
as exhibited today at the opera
house in this city, and pledge our.
selves to rid the county Of gangism
and bossisin. We favor a primary
election law, and hereby instruct
and direct the delegates elected at
this convention as delegates to the
Legislative convention for this dis
trict to use all honorable means to
nominate such men for the legisla-
ture as will use their influence and
votes to secure the adoption Of such
a law.
We commend the action Of Sena-
tor P. J. McCumber in his efforts to
establish federal supervision of the
inspection Of grain and believe that
such a provision would be of great
advantage to the farmers Of the
northwest, and we heartily recon-
mend his reelection.
We commend the record Of Hon.
H. G.. Hansbrough, United States
senator, Hon. B. F. Spalding and
Hon, r. F. Marshall, our members
Of Congress, and recommend that
