The committee on resolutions reported

, vention:
: The Republicans of the county Of Ok
, ford by their delegates in convention
, assembled at Paris, Maine, this 18th day
of June, 1905, hereby adopt and pro-
claim the following resolutions.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the time
honored principles of the Republican
party in the state and nation. We en-
dorse the platform of principles adopted
by the Republican State Convention
held at Portland, Maine, June 9th,
1905, and pledge our loyal and enthu.
siastic support to the distinguished
nominee of the party, the present and
the future governor of the state OF
Maine. We commend the efforts OF
Gov. William T. Cobb in the enforce
ment of law and especially of those
statutes which promote the sobriety and
civic righteousness of the community,
and we bespeak the support of all good
citizens for his unfaltering campaign
against the evils of intemperance.
We pride ourselves anew in the patri-
otto and unrelenting vigilance OF our Re-
publican President Theodore Roosevelt.
We honor ourselves once again In en-
dorsing his unhinching warfare against
corrupt combinations, against oppres-
sion and unfairness, and against dis
honesty and corruption, whether in low
places or high. We commend and en-
dorse his constant labors in securing
equitable regulation of railroad rates and
in inaugurating rigid and honest scien-
tific inspection of meat products. We
delight in the ability and wisdom OF our
president, and in his patriotism and his
i
Throughout the state in general and
within our own county in particular we
urge the rigid aud constant enforcement
of the organic law of our state of Maine,
particularly that relating to the sale of
Intoxicating liquors and the suppression
of vice. We would shield no man, or
group of men, from the consequences of
deliberate and willful attractions of our
prohibitory law.
Our candidate for Congress, the Hon.
Charles E. Little6eld, deserves the sup
port of all Republicans in the coming
campaign, as man of courage and con-
viction and man who has taken high
stand in the councils of the nation.
We believe that no plan for the equal |
ization of public burdens could be more
effective or just than further extension
of state aid in the building and maintain |
ing of highways and bridges.
The industries of our state depend
largely on our standing forests. We be- |
lieve that immediate legislation is neces- |
sary for their protection.
With confidence in their fidelity to the |
ancient precepts of Republicanism, we
pledge our unbroken strength for the |
nominees of this convention, for we be- |
lieve that unity and harmony in the
ranks of the Republican party are the |
surest and strongest safeguards of the |
rights of the citizens of our county, |
state, and nation.
The convention adjourned at 1:25,
after session of little more than two |
hours and half.
