Resolutions Adopted by
District Conven-
ton Here.

adopted by the Republican district
convention Saturday. They were
carried to Fairland by the secretary
without being given to the press,
and The Chieftain has just secured a
copy Of them:
We renew our allegiance to the par
ty of Fremont and Lincoln. We have
mistaken faith in its future, as we
have had proven its virtues in the
past
Its history is the history of the new
republic Of the western world. In its
commerce we behold the handiwork
Of the patriotic statesmen of the past
century. In its national glory we see
the fruits Of its heroes and buried
dead.
Upon the heights Of national fame
we behold the names Of the men who
created the Republican party, which
was born in fight for human liberty.
1t has ever been party devoted to
the cause of human liberty, and its
mission in this land has been, is to-
day and will, we believe, ever be to
lift up our people and fiji our nation
al life with honor and peace.
Freedom was first born in the pre-
cincts where our party's birth occurr-
ed ard today it stands for liberty Of
our people and the betterment OF our
race.
Every section and every man with
the republic has been the recipient
of consideration and protection
To all our people the highest pros
perity has come under its rule and the
greatest national hcnor and wealth
has followed its policies.
| We endorse the administration Of
President Theodore Roosevelt and
commend to all our countrymen re-
gardless Of politics his patriotic wis
dom and fearless integrity and say to
them that our party stands for what
Roosevelt stands for
We believe that the past experience
in national life ought to be the guide
for our future, and believing this, all
cannot be other than Republicans if
we wish national prosperity and ma
tional honor
We invite the remaining members
Of the race which has been the dwell
ers of this land for centuries to Join
our party
We offer to them every right and
privilege that we claim for our
selves.
We believe that every man over the
age of twenty-one shall have the right
to cast one vote at every election.
We stand for this proposition regard
lees Of his race or color and if he cam
not meet those qualifications which
have been fixed throughout the south
ern states of reading and interpreting
the constitution Of the United States
before he is allowed to vote as the
opposition party has imposed in those
states and threatens to impose here,
we propose that he be permitted to
vote regardless Of his lack of educa-
tion
We propose to educate every child
of school age in this new state and IA
vor every moral and civil right.
We favor the state control Of all
corporations of a public character be-
lieving that state or the people Of
state have a right to limit with
bounds Of reason and justice the op-
Grafton Of every business enterprise
which it creates and has a right to
contiol foreign corporations Of any
character doing business in this state
in conformity to reason and justice.
We deplore the action of the Demo-
cratic party in this district and terri
tory in trying to arouse a prejudice in
the brerst of the Indian citizen against
the Republican party and Republican
leaders by false and malicious misFep-
resentation and untruths. We cite to
every honest man among them this
example Of the lack Of honese interest
in the Indians welfare on the part Of
the Democratic leadership and hold
up to him the real purpose Of these
politicians to use him as their tool for
their own election TO ofice and
against the Indians best interests,
We invite every man among US who
favors honest, good government and
national peace and prosperity to ally
himself with the Republican party.
