equal friend of labor and of capital,
vigorous and impartial, we have in
bin a president of whom we are
justly proud, and whose wise and
bene6cent administration we heartily
endorse and desire to have continued.
We therefore unanimously recommend
the nomination of this foster son Oh
North Dakota for the presidency by
the approaching national convention.
We recommend and approve the re-
cord made by the senato:s and repre-
sentatives from this state in congress
and rejoice that through their intel
ligent, energetic and harmonious
action great credit has come to them
as we'll as to the state they have so
faithfully represented. ..
We reaffirm our answering belief
in the republican policy of protection
20 American labor, American enter
prise American institutions and
American citizenship policy which
has brought marvellous prosperity to
every branch of industry. We favor
the reciprocity that will bring about
the full exchange of the things we
produce for the commodities that we
do not produce. As to competing
products, we favor such trade agree
ments with foreign nations as will
stimulate international commerce
without Lowering the. high standard
of living of the wage earners and pro-
ducers of the United States. We
favor revision of tariff schedules
to meet the changed and changing
conditions and insist that such revi-
sion shall be made by the friends of
our excellent fiscal system.
We revert with just enthusiasm to
the Success IF the republican policy

lions of Mckinley and Roosevelt has
no parallel. Through the achieve
ments of these patriotic republican
executives. from the liberation of
Cuba and the pacifcation of the
Philippines to the open door in the
Orient, the great American nation
has won victories in war and in peace
which have brought lasting benefits
to humanity and opened the worlds
markets to our commerce.

Mr.. Plumley offered the following re-
solution which was adopted:
The republicans of North Dakota
in state convention assembled desire
&c express their sincere sorrUW, caused
by the death If Hon. Mark Hanna,
who SO ably served the party as chair
man of the national commi tee and
the country as a member of the
United States senate We feel that's
he was crit off in the midst Of hi
usefulness. His death was the ma
lions loss
