Mr.. Hammond Urner, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, then read the
report of that committee, which was a
dopted, as follows:
1.-THE delegates of the Republican par
ty of Frederick county, in convention as
sembled, resolve as follows:
1--WE declare our adherence to the great
policies of our party under which the A
merican people are now enjoying the
highest degree of prosperity ever attain
ed in the history of the nation.
eve assert our confidence in the pa
triotism and craftsmanship Of President
Roosevelt and in the broad and progress
i've spirit of his administration.
eve regard the election of Republi-
can majorties in both branches of the
State Legislature in the approaching
campaign as of vital Importance. This
result will insure the election of two Re-
publican United States Senators from
this State, and will thus enable Maryland
to contribute most effectually to the
maintenance of the Republican policies
from whose operation her prosperity is so
largely derived.
ut will also make possible the restor-
alton of our election system to the free
dom and simplicity by which it was
characterized during Republican ascen-
dancy. The fairest election law ever
placed upon our statute book was that
enacted by Republican legislature and
signed by Republican Governor in 1896.
1t has since been mutilated and distorted
to meet the exigencies of Democratic
politics. In its present form it surrounds
the right of suffrage with such difficult
ties as to practically disfranchise thous-
ands of reputable voters in both the
leading parties at every election. We
demand legislation that will facilitate
and not retard the exercise of the right
to vote under the qualifications prescrib-
ed by the constitution. We insist upon
a ballot that will give ready and certain
expression to the intention of the voter
and that will not confuse and obstruct
him in the discharge of his duty at the
polls. To the end that this reform may
be accomplished we urge upon our voters,
regardless of party, the election of the
nominees of this convention for the State
Senate and House of Delegates.
