Resolutions Adopted,

The following resolutions were en-
bodied in the majority report and
were adopted:
Be it Resolved. That we, the repub-
licans Of Wapello county in conven-
ton assembled, recall with pride and
pleasure the illustrious names of Lin
coin, Garfield, Mckinley, Roosevelt,
Taft and Allison.
We heartily endorse the wise, hon
est and fearless administration IF
President Roosevelt. We devoutly
hope and fervently believe that his
successor will be republican who
will be no less earnest in his zeal for
square DEAL"
We deem it fitting and proper that
Iowa should have the honor and dis
tinction Of furnishing statesman of
whom 1T may be said by future histor-
lans, He served more years and was
the recognized leader Of the United
States senate for a longer period of
time than any other man since the
birth Of our nation
We desire to express our high ap-
probation of the long and faithful
service to this state and nation of
Senator William B. Allison. His mod
est unassuming fidelity to duty and
answering devotion to his country
has won for him first rank in the SEN
ate of the United States and first
place in the hearts Of the people Of
Iowa.
We recommended him as an ex-
ample to the young man of our state
and to republicans in all the states
as being the embodiment of that DO
litical maxim, HE serves his party
best, who serves his country best"
His life work will be found written in
the Revised Statutes and Statutes at
large of the United States.
His political career has been an
open book. In all the years of his
public service he has never deviated
from the principles Of the republican
party, even in the most trying times
and is therefore entitled to, and we
recommend that he be given the
hearty support of Wapello county in
the approaching primary election.
We recognize William H. Taft as

TAFT WORKS AGAIN
CoNFERs WITH WRIGHT ABOUT
 WAR DEPARTMENT.
Questfosn Cancerning Philippines, Cuba and Psnama Came Up and Mr. Taft Gave Advice To Secretary
 Wright


 Hot Springs. Va. Aug ls--Walliam H. Taft was Secretary of War again today. at least to the extent of finding himself deeply engrossed with his successor. Luke E.. Wright, in the ab- sorbing questions of the Philippines. numerable odds and ends of the war office of which no one but himself knows the history.
 Mir. Taft explained that there would not be added to the machinery of the Philippine government at present, q new departmen of agriculture Presi- dent Roosevelt has authority to cre- ate the department and place at It's head some Filipino member of the Ex- eeutive Commission of the islands. The establishment of five departments. ex- ecutie. commerce and police, Interior, public instruction and finance and jus- tice. is regarded as an accomplishment towards self government sufficient for the present and President Roosevelt will receive advice to this effect by Sec retary Wright. The decision is based on objection to increasing the cost of the Philippine government in the ah- sence of absolute necessity.
 Money is to be saved in Panama also through the scheme of reorganization now going on under Colonel Goetbals. which received approval at today's con- ference. There is to be an Increase Of at least one In the number of Christian clubs on the Isthmus of Panama. as Secretary Wright indicated that he would be able, with the funds avail able. to carry out the recommends ton of Mir Taft on retiring from office. This recommendation urged the establish ment of two additional clubs to the four now existing. In this connection 1t was explained, that as Secretary of War. Mir. Taft had directly employed clergymen and trained workers of the Young Mems Christian Association for the beginning of American rule on the Canal Zone.
 As to Cuba. the question discussed with the conclusion yet to be arrived at was whether certain laws of the ex- acutive committes there should be en. forced or whether the subject matter. whether the constitution should be loft open for the consideration of the Cuban Legislature when that body Is re-or- ganixed. General Wright will return to Washington Monday.
 MT. Taft was surprised today by . call of respect from Manuel Queson. Floor Leader of the National Party in the Philippine Legislature and A. c. Ascamilla, who was Aguinaldo's pri- vats secretary during his military op- erations.
