The Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions then
made its report, which was adopted by
the convention. This report is as fol
lows:
1--WE. the representatives Of the re.
publicans of the sixth congressional
district of Iowa, in convention assem-.
bled, declare our abiding confidence in
the policies of the republican party
The legislative record of the party has
been triumph for the progress and
development of our country. The wis
dom of her craftsmanship that has
wrought out the great public policies
for which the republican party Is re-
sponsible, is emphasized in the last
analysis by the universal prosperity OF
the last nine years. Business activity
has brought to labor and capital true
reward of merit Values have in
creased, opportunities for the honest
brain and muscle of the country have
multiplied and extended until we as a
people are partakers in a prosperity
and civilization that increases the hap
piness of every citizen of the United
States, and exerts an influence which
is world wide among the nations of the
earth.
Reaffirm National Platform.
"The republicans, Of the sixth dis
trict of Iowa confidently endorse and re
affirm the principles Of the republican
national platform of 1904. Upon that
platform, our great leader, Theodore
Roosevelt was elected and our party
was continued in national control by
an unprecedented majority of salts
fed people. The pledge of that plat
form has been honestly kept.
Policy Of Protection.
I'VE believe in the policy of protec
ton to American industries. Since the
enactment of the Dingley tariff law in
1897, prosperity has blessed our PEG
pie. We look back to the enactment
of that tariff law as the potent factor
in re-establishing hope and confidence
for future commercial and business
transactions in the American laborel
and business man! Our accomplish
ments, under this law, have attracted
the attention of the commercial an6
financial centers of mankind. It has
brought to the humble laborer hope and
good wages. To the farmer good mar
kets and higher prices for his lands
and crops. To every avocation Of bus
mess life prosperity that is rapidly
developing the latent energies Of the
American people. Our commerce, both
foreign and domestic, is without a par
allel; and our manufacturing and f.
nancial centers are increasing the
happiness of the people. We challenge
the worlds craftsmanship to show us
a system that has done more than the
protective policy to bring prosperity
to any people than the protective poll
cy of the republican party. We dc
not look with favor on any change that
will not add too rather than subtract
from our present prosperity.
Endorse Roosevelt.
I'VE endorse the administration Of
President Roosevelt. We believe in
his American way Of doing things. In
