RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
Allegiance to the Principles of the Re-
publican Party Is Reaffirmeei, and
che Administration of President
Roosevelt Endorsed-officers Are
Elected.

Philadelphia, Pa. June 20.-Reaf-
firming allegiance to the principles OF
the republican party and condemning
combinations in restraint of the trade,
the National League of Republican
clubs ended its convention.
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention are in part as follows:
We pay tribute to our great leaders.
from our first standard bearer, John G.
Fremont, and Abraham Lincoln, the
first repuI lican president, to Theodore
Roosevelt, Sour present leader, the
worlds first citizen, who, thru his
rugged honesty, his persistent deter
mination, his unflagging courage and
his demand for a square deal for every
person and every interest, has gained
not only the respect and love of his fell
low countrymell, but the esteem and
admiration of all mankind.
We indorse the sentiment of William
teetive tariff is sacred, but that sched-
ules should be changed when condi-
tions of industry, commerce, and
finance demand, and not till then
We emphasize the results of the OPP
Grafton of the Dingley tariff which is
giving us 8. surplus of revenue; unpar-
elleled activity in our factories, for
ests, and mines; profitable prices for
{ ~ - 20 ~ Orpltpr
bank clearngs and relatively less fail
ures than ever before; q continually
larger volume OF employment at higher
wages, resulting, in unprecedented con-
sumption of not only the necessaries
but comforts, eonveniences, and lux
uries of life, augmented withal by
{ larger savings and investments than
have previously been recorded in our
history.
Approve Advanced Legislation.
We approve of the action OF the pres
emit congress in carrying out the rec
ommend atons of President Roosevelt
ly more advanced legislation than has
been given US in a single session since
the days of the civil war.
We have just pride in our party's
record in it's settlement of the cur
rency question thru the adoption OF
the gold standard; in the establish
ment and development of the rural free
delivery system now extending to more
than 10000 routes and 100000 homes;
in the progress made in opening our
arid lands to cultivation, thru irriga-
ton; in the well begun work of con-
Meeting ocean and oceansw with an 18th
milan canal; in the many laws looking
4 to the welfare of labor and in the COM
pleted or pending legislation providing
for equitable railroad regulation in in
terstate commerce; for better lnspec-
ton of food products; for free alcohol;
for a new state; for an American mer-
chant marine, and for many other inn
portant measures which have been or
are to be considered.
Against Illegal Combinations.
We are opposed to all Illegal combi-
nations in restraint of trade, Whereby
the interests of either producers or
consumers are injured or whereby
thru monopoly, rates and prices of
products are controlled at the expense
of the masses. We wage no war on
capital or corporations as such, but we
do ask for equity and justice to all, by
all and for all.
we are opposed to inequality which
permits one twelfth the voters Of the
country to WELD one-quarter of the
national legislative power. The sup
preston and denial of suffrage de-
naands the reduction of the power so
usurped. The denial of suffrage should
never be rewarded with political pre-
miums. The democracy of at least
eleven states should be deprived of it's
unfair prep onderance of power, and the
full measure of political rights secured
to every qualified citizen, white or
black. who, is capable and willing to
assert political manhood. The politi-
cal party that profits by the suppress
sion of the ballot is not to be trusted
with the making or administration Of
the national laws.
We reiterate the demand of our last
national platform that our republican
majority in congress should courage
ously carry out the principles and
pledges of the party and enact such
legislation as will make all the consti
tutional amendments absolutely and
finally effective.
We ask for immediate legislation
looking to the establishment of parcels
post and postal currency or notes to
facilitate trade thru orders by mail.
The following officers were elected:
President, Senator e. A. McAlpin, of
New York; vice president, H. H. Myers
of Little Rock; secretary, Chauncey
Dewey, of Hamilton, o.: treasurer, w.
q. Porter, South Dakota.
The selection of the next place of
meeting was left to the executive COM
mittee.
