Ringing Resolutions Adopted by the
Congressional convention-Work
Of Past is Partys Hope
Of Future.

Following is the full text of the
resolutions unanimously adopted by
the Sixth District Congressional con
vention this afternoon:
"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 a triumph, for the progress
and development of our country. The
wisdom 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 &C,
tiyity has brought to labor and CAPT
tai true reward of merit. Values
have increased, opportunities for the
honest brain and muscle of the coun,
try have multiplied, and extended ,un
til we as people are partakers in a
prosperity and civilization that in
creases the happiness of every citizen
of the United States; and exerts an
influence which is world wide, among
the nations of the eartn.
'The republicans of the Sixth Lls.
trict of Iowa confidently endorse and
reafirm the principles of the Repub.
liean National Platform of 1904. Up,
on that platform our great leader,
Theodore Roosevelt, was elected and
our party was continued in national
control by an unprecedented majority
of satisfied people. The pledges OF
that platform have been honestly kept.
"We beieve in the policy Of Pro
lection to American industries. Since
the enactment of the Dingley Tarnf
law in 1897, prosperity has blessed our
people. We look back to the enact
ment of that tariff law as the potent
factor in re-establishing nope and con
fidence, for future commercial and
business transactions, in the American
laborer and business man. Our ac-
complishments, under this law, have
attracted the attention of the COM
mercial and financial centers of man
kind. 1t has brought to the humble
laborer hope, and good wages. To the
farmer, good markets and higher
prices for his lands and crops. To
every ayocation of business life a
prosperity that is rapidly developing
the latent energies Of the American
people. Our commerce, both foreign
and domestic, is without parallel;
and our manufacturing and financial
centers are increasing the happiness
Of the people. We chanenge the
worlds craftsmanship to show us a
system that has done more to bring
prosperity to any people than the
Protective koncy of the republican,
party. We do not look with favor on
any change that will not add to, rath
er than subtract from, our present
prosperity.
1--WE endorse the administration oi
President Roosevelt. We believe in
his American way of doing things. In
his fight for the people who form this
government, he has been reasonable
and just toward every interest And
we believe in his policy of respect tc
| law, and honesty in all the affairs ol
government. His administration has
been one of unexampled prosperity
His craftsmanship and diplomacy is
acknowledged in every capital of the
world, and we believe he belongs II
the class of Patriots, with Lincoln
Blaine, Grant, Garfield and Mckinley
1--WE take pride in the record made
| by Senators Allison and Dolliyer II
the senate of the United States; ant
the entire Iowa delegation in the lowe
House of Congress, in securing the
passage of a just and reasonable law
| for the control of the railways Of tht
country. That we believe the entire
delegation have not only won state
but national honors, in their untirini
services in behalf of a Just law, t.
control the great avenues OF com
merce and transportation. We pledg'
to them our undivided support.
"The State Of Iowa holds an enviabl'
position before the country, through
the work of her great citizens, wn'
have served US in state and nationa
life. Her leadership in the Senat'
and House of Congress is recognizes
in every state Of this Union. In tn
cabinet Of President Roosevelt, low;
holds the keys to the financial poi,
cies Of the country. To Hon. Lesn
M. Shaw we look for leadership, wol
thy to succeed to the Presidency 0
the United States. We endorse hin

ty in 1908. for the Presidency Of tn
United States. and pledge him ou
