The Resolutions.
The resolutions adopted by the con.
ventlon are as follows:
we the republicans of Davis coun.
W, express our qualification at the sue
CeSStlJI a n a orc orf <f~ c
ialrs by the republican party. Repub-
ncanlsm has always meant the best in
government for the whole people That
the growth of the country, since the in
auguration of President Mckinley, vim
dlcates the wisdom of a great majority
OF the voters in placing upon the re-
publican party the responsibility of re.
storing national prosperity in 1896 In
the death of the greatest of statesmen
a deep national sorrow filled our land,
and another great leader of the party
was called upon to assume the grave
responsibilities that surrounds the
Presidents chair. And today no man
in the country commands the conf
dence and esteem of the American peo-
pie as Theodore Roosevelt. We en-
dorse his administration and renew
our faith in the principles, of the re-
publican party. and believe he should
be triumphantly elected to fill the Of
flee of President for four years more.
THAT we heartily endorse the long
and faithful official record of Major
Lacey in congress. We recognize in
him tried and true representative
who has always been faithful to his
constituents and the principles of the
republican party
That we are proud of Iowa as a
state, and commend the business and
administration of our state officials
that we endorse the able and efficient
record made by B. F. Carroll, auditor
of state, and instruct our delegation to
give him unanimous support the ensu-
ing term.
Upon the question of tariff we be-
lieve in the Dingley law, and stand by
the historic policy of the Republican
party for protection to American in
dustries. That of the statutes that
have been written for the entire coun.
try,by republican votes, none have been
SO productive of prosperity as the pro-
tective tariff laws. That in our county
we have witnessed an increase of al
most one hundred per cent in the value
of real estate, since the enactment of
the Dingley law. Labor has received
good wages, our farmers have pros
pered and our finances have been on a
sound basis and we believe in the con
tinuation of our present policy.
THAT we believe that the republi-
cans of the great state Of Iowa should
harmoniously support the principles of
the republican party as have been set
forth by former national republican
conventions and endorsed and support
ed by Theodore Roosevelt.
1--WE hereby instruct the delegates
appointed by this convention to vote
only for delegates to the national con.
vention, who are in accord with the
fundamental principles of the repub-
lican party"
