The Resolutions.
We, the republicans of the State of
Wyoming, in convention assembled,
view with qualification the unparallel-
ed prosperity which prevails among
our people in every part of our great
republic, and we recall with pride
that progress and prosperity have al
ways existed under laws passed by the
republican party and administered by
republican administrations.
Record of the Party.
We challenge attention to the record
of our party in recent national legis-
|lation; in the maintenance of a pro-
~tective tariff; in Legislation for the
proper regulation of the rates and
practices of railways, and to insure the
welfare of railway employees; in the
enactment of legislation for pure foods,
and for the better regulation of immi-
grafton and naturalization.
commemorative "
We view with satisfaction the eX-
aulted character, high courage and
splendid craftsmanship of our chief
executive, Theodore Roosevelt, and en-
dorse the fearless and impartial en-
forcement under his splendid admins
.%tration of the laws against unlawful
combinations in restraint of trade,
against the granting of rebates and
Snarin1 70 uprs Inv common M rriArG and
against all who have transgressed the
laws of the nation in any way.
Recommend Senator's Reelection.
We most heartily endorse and com
mend our delegation in congress, Hon.
f. E. Warren, Hon.. G. d. Clark and
Hon. f. w. Mondell, for the splendid
work they have performed and the
highly satisfactory results they have
obtained in the interest of the nation
and for the benefit of the people OF
Wyoming; and recognizing the emf
nent services of Senator Warren in
behalf of the State of Wyoming, and
the greater work yet to be accomplish
ed, we endorse him for reelection at
the hands of the people through the
next legislature.
Protective Policy for West.
We favor the continuation OF the pol
icy of the protective tariff. We do not
believe that the necessity exists for
any radical change in the tariff at this
time and we especially protest against
proposed changes which would deprive
western industries or enterprises OF
the protection which they now enjoy.
Wise Public Land Laws.
We favor the continuation of the re-
publican policy of the disposition of
the public lands to the people under
the land laws, and we are opposed to
the withdrawal of public lands from
entry except for purposes in harmony
with the existing land laws. Forest
reserves should be confined to the
areas clearly necessary for forest cul-
ture and preservation and for water
conservation. We believe no special
or unusual burdens should be laid upon
the people using the products of such
reserves or upon intended settlers up.
on the public domain.
Governor Brooks Endorsed.
We unQualiiedly endorse and ap-
prove the honest, intelligent and eco
nomical administration Of Governor
Brooks, and express u sincere appre-
citation of the wise and faithful service
of all our state officers. They have
given us an administration of state af-
fairs of which the people of Wyoming
may feel justly proud.
State Depository Law.
We heartily endorse and favor the
enactment by the next Wyoming legis'
lature of a depository law, along the
lines of the constitutional provision,
to the end that the state moneys will
be amply protected and the taxpayers
receive the benefit of the interest ac'
cruing from said funds.
Bill to Reapportion State.
We favor the passage of a just reap
portionment law by the forthcoming
Legislature, giving each county in Wyo>
ming a fair and proper representation
in the senate and house of representa-
tives, according to the census of 1905.
Support of State Ticket.
We pledge to the excellent state tick
ct nominated by this convention our
earnest support.
