| Strong Resolutions Adopted.
The resolutions, which were read to
the convention by A. w. Lee, are as
| follows:
The republicans of Wapello county
are unanimously in favor of the nom
nation OF Theodore Roosevelt for
President We believe as has been
ably expressed by one Of the Iowa dele
cation in congress, that he, stands pre-
eminent and is the ideal of the great
mass OF the republican party. We be-
lleve that he is honest beyond criti-
cism or cavil; that he is truthful in
all utterances, and brave under all cir
cumstances; that he is wise in the pol.
icy OF government and that he is we'll
grounded in the principles that have
made this nation great. In his service
OF nearly three years in the presi-
Dental chair, in the wisdom of his ut
terances upon all civic matters, we
have evidence that he has true con
ception OF Wnat should be and a wise
appreciation of the method of it's ac-
complishment. We regard his pre-
sentation of the principles and policies
or the republican ty relating to the
tariff as made in his Minneapolis
speech last year as ere to which every
true republican will give hearty and un-
4 elulyocal endorsements. We believe
That President Roosevelt is eternally
right wien no says tha it is the duty
OF this nation to see to it that our
laws shall in no event afford advantage
III our market to foreign industries ov-
er American ir';i's!Tjes. to foreign cap
ltal over American capital, to foreign
labor over our own labor With this
| principle arti purpose always in view,
we believe that the tariff should be
sufficient to eiilalize conditions here
and abroad in the production of every
article that we GO or can produce in
this country. We are not in favor Of
lowering the duty on any article at the
behest tf ally Datiuu that will result
IN giving up any Eo.t:cr of the Ameri-
can market that is now supplied or
which can be supplca by home pro-
duction We believe that specific tar
if schedules should lt. adjusted to ac-
cord with the changing conditions of
business but never ID manner. that
directly CT indirectly attacks the wis.
dom and soundness of the protective
principle. Under the policy of protec.
ton We have had the highest prosperi-
ty and the highest wage scale and the
highest price for our farm products
which the history Of the world has ey-
er known. We commend and endorse
the policy of reciprocity with foreign
lands for trade in non-competitive pro-
ducts only.
1--WE believe that the unanimous
sentiment OF Iowa republicans in favor
of the nomination of Theodore Roose
welt will be best conserved by the Sc
lection of Senator William B. Allison,
Hon. j. W. Blythe, Governor A. b.
Cummins and Senator j. P. Deliver as.
delegates at large from this state to.
the national republican convention.
Such selection will insure that no
state IN the union will be more ably or
honocably represented, and the dele
gates to the state convention are here.

opportunity for the sixth district to be
represented in that great body by a
tried and true republican, strong and
conservative thinker, and an able man.
