Be II resolved, by the republicans Of
Cedar county, In convention assembled we
give our hearty endorsement to the ad-
ministratlon OF President Roosevelt as a
practical exposition of the doctrine of
progressive republicanism. We deem him
| the greatest political leader of modern
times, and in his firm and aggressive course
to settle the great commercial, industr1ai
heartily endorse his personal efforts TO Sc
cure the enactment of an effective law to
regulate railroad rates, as well as the many
renewing our pledges Of loVslty TO the
| principles OF republicanism we regard this
Campaign as but the commencement of the
, ! crest battle of 1905. when Nebraska shall
| Insist that the essentials of Roosevelt pro-
gressive republicanism shall prevail in the
! platform of the national convention.
: We favor the election of United States
senators by direct vote Of the people, and
until such time as this can be brought
! about demand that the selection of a
candidate for United States senator be
made by the delegates in state convention
= stitutionai i ' an amendment that viii be sub. sub
mitted TO the voters at the next election
, for the creation of railway commission
2 full power to fix freight rates and prevent
rebates or determinations TO and from
persons or corporations.
We favor any and all measures that tend
e TO bring the power of government closer
D to the people and all measures that tend
! to enlarge the power of the individual
voter within the lines of the party and tC
minimize the power OF those who undel
, utilize their abilities In political intrigue
We therefore favor the enactment by thu
next legislature of a statewide primary
, election law which will give the indvidua
voter the right TO select directly candi
dates for elective offices. Such law mus
be well guarded that the voters of eacl
