We, the republicans of Linn county, in
convention assembled, do hereby reaffirm
our allegiance to the principles and policies
of the republican party as enunciated by
the last republican national convention and
all preceding declarations of the party. We
point with pride to the fact that every prom
ise made the American people has been I
faithfully kept, and that the policies of the I.
republican party when enacted into law &
have brought measureless prosperity to the {
country. We are proud of the fact that dur
ing the past ten years of republican admin
istration the fallen fortunes of the republic
have been rebuilt, public credit established, !;
labor given remunerative employment, the
volume Of our currency increased, our rivers 1
and harbors improved, our army and navy =
and made more efficient until
they are now adequate to protect the Amer Z
lean interests at home and abroad. The I
wisdom of these policies is shown in the fact
that happiness and contentment prevail
over our entire land Money is plenty and
the rates of interest low.
Therefore, we heartily endorse the wise
and patriotic administration of Theodore
Roosevelt and assure him that the republic
cans of Linn county are with him in his fight
TO control the great trusts of the country Il
hat are being operated contrary to law, and
% effectively abolish rebates and secure =
,quitable and just freight rates for the L
people. IN
We heartily endorse the wise and patriotic
,ourse Of our senator, Maj. William Warner,
n faithfully upholding the policies Of the n
present administration and safeguarding
Ehe peoples interests. We are proud OF the
TACT that we are represented in the greatest L
av making body of the world by man of
marked ability and whose heart beats I'm
,ympathy with the masses of the American
people. We heartily indorse the adminis- :,
ration of the republican officials OF MissoE-
4 and assure them that their public acts
ave fully met the expectations ofthe peo-
lie OF this country and the state OF Missouri
md We assure them that II they continue to n
