atfng convention to be held at Excelsior
Springs May 81.
We congratulate the republicans Of the
state upon the wise, harmonious and thor
ough campaign conducted by the chairman
OF the republican state committee and mem
Der of our national committee in 1904, and
that 1t Is the sense of this convention that
the republicans of this state owe debt of
gratitude to Hon. Thomas X. Niedringhaus,
chairman Of our state committee, and Thom-
as j. Atkins, MissoCri's member of the repub-
lican national committee, and that the par
tvs interest will always be safely guarded
by these two patriotic republicans. We
heartily indorse the record being made by
by the republican county officials OF Linn
county. and assure the people that their Of
hcial acts are characterized by efficiency
and devotion to the interests of the people
of the county.
The republicans of Linn county stand for
the enforcement of law, all laws. state and
national, and point with pride to the fact
that the great head of our party, Theodore
Roosevelt, has given the country the high |
est exhibition of law enforcement within |
the history of the republic, and that our |
state officials have administered the affairs
Of their Offices in harmony with the laws of
the state and have rendered the governor of
the state all the aid possible in every honest
attempt for law enforcement.
All criminals look alike to the republican |
party and it will neither condone their often
'es nor solicit their support and we con-
yratulate the democratic party Of the state
1
,as discovered that laws are enacted for the !
purpose Of being enforced and obeyed. and
We trust that their progress in this line will

n the near future that it is violation of
aw and crime to use the police TO carry
elections and divert the will of the
people by fraudulent naturalization and
alse registration in our, great cities, thus
lebauching the ballot box, which is the
hief cornerstone of American civilization.
We believe that 10 justice to that splendid
lass of citizens of this great country. the
armers, class upon whom many burdens
all, that both state and national aid should
'e given for the construction of public {
Dads. That vast network of arteries OF

) as important as the rivers and harbors of
he country. We demand that our repre-
entatives both state and national work
to this end, and we ask members 9
f opposing political parties to join with us
n this demand.
