The resolutions adopted at the re
publican county convention ycstcr
day were as follows:
Citizens of New Jersey are under
deep obligations to the republican
party. Following out the suggestions
of Edward C. Stokes. the governor
the Legislature enacted laws last win
ter which will materially reduce thu
burden of taxation and impose ;
more equitable share of the expense
of the state government upon thu
railroads operating hundreds of miles
of track within the confines of th'
commonwealth.
Citizens of Middlesex county are
under great obligations to the repub
lican party. The tax rate of the cit!
of New Brunswick has been reduced
80 points in two years; the tax rat'
of the city of Perth Amboy has beei
reduced 23 points in the presen
year; and there has been reduction
in the county rate from &C to "A. Th'
party pledges itself to make fur
ther general reduction of taxes dur
ing the coming year, and points witt
pride to the reduction in the count.
budget from $257,6S6. Is to $2O7,
413.60 a saving of $50,272. SO.
That it has been possible to reduc
the taxes in Middlesex county to sucl
an extent and save thousands of dol
lars annually to the people is pri
marily due to the foresight of Theo
dore Strong, former state senator
He introduced a bill in the Legislature
when state senator, which abolishe'
the extravagant freeholders and sub
stituted the board of five members
and 1t is conceded that the chang
was indeed a wise one, and has re
suited in great reduction in the eS
penses of the county government.
In convention assembled we, tn
republicans of Middlesex county
| heartily indorse the able and states
manlike administration of Theodor
Roosevelt, the president of the Uni
ed States. We commend the excel
lent record of Hon. John Kean an
Hon. John f. Dryden, our Unite
States senator's, and our represents
tive, Hon. Benz +. Howell. All thre
have supported the policies of tn
republican party and of Presider
Roosevelt at all times. We pleda
our representatives in the leglsii
ture next winter to votY>for such cal
didate for nited States Senator as wi
continue to uphold tn trincinles {
