senatorial district, in convention as
sembled. point with pride to the great
prosperity of the American people and
the exalted position this nation has
taken among the nations of the earth
since the advent into power of the re-
publican party seven years ago. We
do not hesitate TO say that both are
due TO the wise craftsmanship of
Mckinley and Roosevelt and the poll
cies executed and laws made by the
republican party. After more than
fifty wears OF discussion, it has re-
manned for the republican national
administration. headed by the indOm-
liable Roosevelt, TO bring about the
building of an isthmain canal to con-
meet the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
1t has remained for the present repub-
lican administration to begin the sys-
tematic work of retaining by irrega-
ton vast tracts of desert land so as to
enable our fast increasing population
To acquire land, the best the sun ever
shone upon, and To make this coun-
try in fact the granary of the world.
We point with pride to the distin-
guished services rendered t. the coun-
try by Wisconsin's two senators, John
c. Spooner and Joseph V. Quarles,
and our present congressman, w. L.
Brown. We point with pride TO the
services rendered in the state legisla-
ture to this district by our senator, ID
+. Riordan, and hereby thank him for
his fidelity to duty AMI his lahors for
the welfare of the people of this dis
trict.
We renew our allegiance to the
great republican party and pledge our
support to President Roosevelt and
the whole republican ticket. Be it re-
solved by the republicans of the Thir-
tieth senatorial district that at this
particular time we deem it wise that
Joseph V. Quarles should be re-elect-
ed To his seat in the United States
The chairman then declared nomi-
nations for senator in order. Edward
