ROOSEVELT AND BAILEY.
Barber County Republican Commit
tee Resolutions.

The Republican county central com
mittee of Barber county in its meeting
Saturday unanimously passed the fol-
lowing resOlutionsi e.
I'VE, the members of the Republican
county central committee of Barber
county, urge That the county conven-
ton elect no delegate to the state con-
vention who will not be in favor of
sending a delegation to represent Kan
sas in the national convention known
to be in sympathy with the present ma
tional administration and one that will
work enthusiastically for the nominal
ton of that fearless soldier and states
men, Theodore Roosevelt, as the Re
publican candidate for president.
I'VE endorse the administration of
W. ]. Bailey as governor of Kansas,
and urge that the delegation sent to
represent Barber county in the state
convention be as earnestly in favor of
his denomination as it is for the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt for president.
I'VE also urge that delegates be
elected to the congressional. convention
favorable to the nomination of Victor
Murdoch for congressman from the Sew
enth congressional district"
