resolution indorsing Taft for nresi-
dent. 1t paid glowing tribute to
Roosevelt and urged that the delega-
tion from Stutsman county do all in
its power to secure delegation ia.
vorable to Taft for president. Res
olution was adopted.
This having concluded the neces-
sary business of the committee, a
number of representative residents
of the county we're called upon to
make few remarks and suggestions
we're asked for regarding the organi-
cation 10 the county, and the pros
poets for success at the polls. Mr..
i Piercy of Pingree believed that the
republican party of Stutsman county
was a pretty lively proposition, and
that the real question before the
voters was whether they would allow
Burke, the democratic candidate for
governor to carry the county again.
Mr.. Piercy believed that the large at
tendance present at the first meet
ing of the committee and the pres
ence of others from different parts
Of the county was an indication that
the republicans of Stutsman county
proposed to carry the next election.
To do this they must work together,
lay aside factional differences wher-
ever possible, and unite for the same
object of keeping the county clearly
within the republican ranks. Mr..
Piercy's remarks were received with
appreciation as expressing the senti-
ments of all those present.
Oliver Bennett, of Eldridge, said
that he thought that the majority Of
: the residents Of his precinct would
vote the republican ticket, and for
| the republican candidates, that they
endorsed the policies of Roosevelt.
and also desired TO see economy ex.
ercised in county affairs.
Mr.. Knauf said that for the first
time 10 several years he was not.
member Of tha committee, he be-
'';lieved that republicans we're strongly
interested in. the coming election for
state and national candidates and
for the election of men who would
carry out the Roosevelt policies in
our national affairs; that all factional
differences ought 20 be laid aside, and
that the party representatives. should
be restored to the rightful position
to which the party was entitled In
the state. from the top to the bot
tom of the ticket. He was pleased
,, to see so many..members Of the COM
mittee present and urged that repub-
lican voters for get their differences
and remember the republican ticket
. at the polls. he believed that Mr..
Taft, as a successor of Roosevelt was
the most admirable selection that
could be made, but no matter who
were the nominees Of the party, even
+, if it was Cannon or Hughes or any
other representative of tile national
party for the presidency, or whether:
: it was Twitchell of Cass or johnson
of Minot, for governor If nominated
as republican standard bearer they
should be warmly supported at the
polls, and that Stutsman county's
republican majority be not merely
from 100 to 500 but from 500 to 1900
for the ticket, from the top to the
bottom.
| The republicans of the county
should go on record as standing by
the policies of Roosevelt in opposi-
tion to those money kings, who
!. would sEart panic and financial
crash to discredit his administra-
tion, and voters cannot do this by
cutting the ticket which will be
nominated at the primaries in the
state next June.
