by President Roosevelt, a true patriot,
a master mind, doer of things that
| make to the end of the greatest good
for the greatest number, but whose
every action has first been tested by
the highest standard of manhood, char
acter and morality. He has given to
the world example of citizenship
| of the very highest and best type, and
worthy of the following of any per-
son. 1t has been revelation to the
old and an inspiration to the young;
admired at home and abroad; it has
| gained the respect of all. Theodore
! Roosevelts name and honor are second
| to neither Abraham Lincoln, Ulysis S.
! Grant, James A. Garfield or William
! Mckinley, but like those names has
| become immortal on account of the
| true wisdom, goodness and character
| Of it's bearer.
Be it further resolved, that we ap-
prove of the records made by the re-
| publican members from Minnesota Of
our last congress, and deeply regret
| that among their names is not found
| a republican congressman from the
second district of Minnesota, and we
pledge our party fealty toward seeing.
| that this district is again to be found
the election Of a republican congress-
man at the coming election, and there
| fore, no longer to be without repre-
| sentation in the national house of rep
resentatives.
Be it further resolved, that we feel
the great humility consequent, politi-
cally, upon the mistake of permitting
Mobiles county, Minnesota, to have been
carried by a democratic candidate for
governor and that we will unite in an
effort to see that like mistake does
not occur in the future.
| Be it further resolved, that we ap-
prove of the faithful and consistent
manner in which Hon. Edward T.
Young has discharged the duties of
the Office Of attorney-general Of the
State Of Minnesota during his incum-
bency. for he ha always shown an
honest endeavor to see that the laws
of our state were enforced in every
: part of the state, without favor or
evasion, and that such realization Of
public duty has proven him to be a
man whom the public can trust in all
matters and in any position where
ability, trust and confidence are re-
quired.
We hereby express our choice for
the nomination of governor to be that
of Edward T. Young, and instruct the
. delegation from Mobiles county to the
republican state convention, to use
every honest effort to aid in bringing
about his nomination, and further in
struct them to vote and act as a unit
to that end.
| Be it further resolved, that we favor
the nomination of Hon. George T.
Simpson, who has been the able and
consistent first assistant of Attorney
General Young, to the promotion
that he has so rightfully won and de-
serves, being that to the Office Of at
torney-general, and we instruct the
delegates from this county to the state
convention to vote in accord with such
| appreciation.
Be it further resolved, that while
we realize that there will be no oppo-
stion to the denomination of Hon.
Clarence C. Dinehart, to the office of
state treasurer, yet we hereby again
| express our confidence in his integrity
| and fidelity, and assure him of our
| continued neighborly good wishes for
| his political welfare, and trust that
we will have the pleasure and privilege
| Of supporting him in future honest
endeavor to such higher or other office
OF public trust that he may desire.
The national campaign is now on
It is to be one of the greatest import
! ance. 1t is to say, by an expression
at the ballot box, whether the great
policies for the common good, vitalized
| by Predident Roosevelt, are to be con-
| tinued to the established good of our
| whole country, or whether this grand
start in the right direction is to be
nanpht.
other words, are the people to be the
source Of government or are we to
prostitute character and proper ideals
before the c1oven hoof of predatory
wealth, by favored legislation? We
do not believe in taking one backward
step but every move forward In the
proper course for universal human ad-
| vancement regardless of passing and
momentary barriers, for elementary
principles Of right and justice are still
sacred and challenge wrong and 1n1us-
tice more confidently today than ever
before. =. -.
| Therefore,, be it further resolved,
that we most willingly endorse the
nomination of Hon. William Howard
| Taft and James Schoolcraft Sherman
as our national standard bearers IN
| the present campaign, for both nave
proven themselves, in private and pub
lie life, to be possessed Of the best
qualities of manhood and statesman
ship, in thorough sympathy with the
great and good policies Of President
| Roosevelt, and It is therefore. certainly
q privilege as well as a. pleasure 70
follow such leadership.
