Ihe Garheld county republican
convention was called to order Tues
day morning by Chairman Parkison
and the roll call showed full delega

Roam creek, the most remote part of
the county.
Altogether. the convention was one
affairs that has taken place in Glen
wood for some time. Good candi
dates we're placed before the delegates
and at times the score would tally
with the reading of every few votes
The minority cheerfully and graceful
ly accepted the will of the majority
and no party ruptures were made.
The most important part of the
morning program was the election of
the chairman. C. C. Parks was nom
mated by 2. c. Coryell of the New
Castle delegation, and motion was
made to re-elect the present chair
man. In the balloting Mr. Parkison
was elected by majority of IS votes.
In this little battle for supremacy,
the temperature of the convention was
taken. showing the stewartites we'll
in the lead, Mr.. Parks being an
avowed Holmberg man. Mrs. Mollie
Ritter was elected temporary secre.
tary, and N. s. Calhoun assistant
The chair was then empowered to
appoint committee of seven on res
olutions and committee of five on
rules and order of business, which re
suited in the selestion of A. J. Dick

tests, no credentials committee was
deemed necessary, and by motion
the delegates were accepted as the del
egates to the convention.

til O. clock.

Resolutions Adopted
The republicans of Garfield county,
in convention assembled, contemplate
the past with pleasure and face the
future with hope.
We point with pride to the achieve
ments of the party and call attention
to the fact that in every crisis which
has ever confronted the American
nation, the party of Lincoln. McKin-
ley and Roosevelt has been the friend
of the masses and proved itself equal
to any emergency.
We most heartily endorse the pres
ent national administration under
the superb leadership Of that noble
aggressive and patriotic statesman,
Theodore Roosevelt. whose indomita
BILE energy and progressive spirit has
made it impossible for the American
nation to stand still but has already
made this the brightest gem in the
galaxy of nations.
The republican party and its poll
cies have ever stood for and cham
pioned the interests of the livestock
grove, and the agriculturist since the
organization of that party.
A bare reference to the country $
history will show that under the ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln, the
first republican administration we ever
had in this country, the Homestead
bill and the Agricultural College bill
providing homes virtually free OF
charge to American citizens and pro
viding method by which the people
Of the new west should be educa ted
through certain agricultural college
plans initiated and passed during that
administration.
These bills, which had been previ
ously defeated under democratic ad
ministrations have been more poten.
