The following resolutions were enthusi-
astically received and adopted:
ReSolUed, The Democratic party Of Mont
gomery county, in convention assembled
afflrms its allegiance to the principles which
gave it birth, and declares its belief that those
principles, applied to the administration of
the Federal government, would solve many
of the problems which now vex the public
mind and restore confidence in our institu
tons and good will In all sections OF the
country and among all business interests.
We believe in the economical, but efficient
administration of the affairs OF Government
and that no more revenue should be raised
than is sufficient for these purposes. We there
fore declare for revision of the tariff with
the view to the support of the Government
and not to foster monopoly, in the confident
conviction that trusts and unworthy combi-
nations of capital would be curbed thereby
and the just rights of all the people pro-
noted.
We heartily commend the clean and BUSH
ness.like administration of Governor Edwin
Warfield, and the careful management OF
our county affairs, which promises substan-
tial benefits in reduced local taxation and
praiseworthy business methods.
We regret the death of Senator Arthur
Pue German, who through many years oil
leadership devoted his extraordinary energy
ability and foresight to the success OF the
party, and served his State with credit.
We congratulate the State Of Maryland
upon Its representation in the United States
Senate, and we commend the ability ano
patriotic zeal with which Senators lsidol
Rayner and VIM. Pinkney Whyte have up
held the basic principles OF our party in that
body.
