The Republicans Of Washington
I County in convention assembled,
reaflirm their faith in the principles
Of the Republican party and re-
| joice in the achievements of the
nation under Republican policies.
The wisdom of our present hnan-
cial policy, which has been disput-
cd by the Democratic party, is
now universally conceded TO be the
correct policy.
The policy Of protection, which
is one of the cardinal doctrines of
the Republican party, has likewise
withstood all the assaults Of the
opposition. aud its wisdom is fully
demonstrated by the widespread
| and unprecedented prosperity the
country enjoys. Under the magic
of our system Of American protec-
ton the nation has gone forward
among the nations Of the earth, I'M
I'll it is now in the front rank in
finance, in manufacturers, in ma
teriaI development and general
prosperity. Our wage carnors find
ready employment at renumerative
wages and are better paid than
those under any other flag.
The wise, vigorous and aogre5
sivc administration of President
Roosevelt commands our enthusi-
aslic approval, as it has won the
hearty pIaudlts of onr countrymen
regardless Of party. We especial
iy approve his ideas of railway
rate regulation and recommend
that our Senators and Representa-
tiyes in Congress support this pol
icy. We rejoice in the election of
Senator William Warner to the
United States Senate, because we
know he is not only true to the
creed of Repubicanism, hnt is the
friend of all the people Of Missouri,
irrespective Of party and can be
depended upon at all times iii the
Senate to stand up for Missouri.
We endorse our Republican dele
cation in Congress in upholding
the hands of President Roosevelt
and supporting his policies and feel
assured they are earnest, active
and conscientious in seeking to
promote the interests of their con
stltucnts. We especially approve
the course of our Congressman,
Hon. Marion +. Rhodes, anI re
ioice in his ability and industry.
We commend his course generally,
and especially do we endorse his
efforts to pension our worthy mill
Tia soldiers of the Civil War, who
rendered substantial and patriotic
service in the preservation of the
Union when the nation was in great
peril. We therefore urge his re
nomination and election to Con
gress and hereby authorize him to
name from the Republicans of
Washington County his own dele
gates to the Congressional Conven-
ton at Piedmont, Missouri, August
9TH, 1906. The County Central
Committee is instructed and en-
powered to issue credentials to said
delegate when named by the Hon.
Marion +. Rhodes.
We rejoice that our RcpubIica-
ton State officials by their efficient,
faithful and strict performance Of
duty and enforcement of law, have
! redeemed the pledges of our party
in 1904: viz: that if the affairs Of
State government were intrusted to
the Republican party, it would re-
| form the State administration 50
far rs controlled by the Republican
party, from the long, lax and mis-
government which has characteriz
ed the Democratic administration
of affairs in Missouri.
| Knowing Prof. J. L. White to
have been born andreared in South
east Missouri and to be a self-made
man and a practical public school
man, we'll qualified for the high
position of State Superintendent of
Public schools: we therefore in
struct our delegates. 10 the State
Convention to vote for him and use
all honorable means to secure bis
nomination.
We hereby authorize the dele
gates and alternates, attending the
various conventions to which dele
gates have this day been elected
to cast the vote of the county ii
