Roosevelt and Taft Endorsed

Before adjourning the convention
adopted the following resolutions OF
fered by Judge II. NJ. Douglas;
Resolved, That We heartily en-
dorse the administration of Preside Mt
Roosevelt. and especially those great
policies inaugurated by him Tor the
protection of individual rights
against corporate aggression. Reeog-
nizing his splendid achievements In
the past, We pledge to him our con-
timed respect and confidence in the
future. wherever his path of life may
lie.
Resolved. That, recognizing the
necessity for the continuation OF such
Ipolicy, We deem it our duty TO sup
port for President one whose past Is
| the best pledge of the future and
who, by ability, patriotism and expe'
rience is best fitted for the task
Such a man is William II. Taft, to
i whom We pledge our support as ouI
first and only choice.
| Resolved, That the delegates
elected to the National Convention
be instructed to vote for William II
Taft as long as his name shall re
main before the convention"
Similar resolutions offered b,
Thomas S. Rollins were also adopted

to lead a. vigorous and successful
campaign, but also a man who hon.
estly wants to carry the State.
1t is so important that the national
chairman should have the confidence
and be in thorough harmony with
the national ticket, that the national
Republican party leaves the selection
of the national chairman to the can
didate for President after he is nom
mated. Is not this course as we'll
and necessary in the State as in the
Nation? Besides, does any one want
to elect man chairman now who
could not be elected by the next con-
vention.
The speaker then turning, said:
know that the delegates were
pledged to elect a chairman now,
out that 1T was great pity and a
great mistake, and that he wanted
to enter his protest that it was also
in violation of the party plan of or
ganization.
The convention was clearly in SYM
pathy with the views expressed by
the speaker and would unquestion-
ably have voted to postpone the cleo
ton of a State chairman if they had
not been pledged.
At the conclusion of Buffers

Fake Solicitor About.-Residents of
the city are warned against the opera
| tons of woman nurse who has been
going about soliciting subscriptions
with which to send some poor unfor-
tunate person away to a hospital for
treatment. So far it is understood that
considerable money has been secured,
but it seems that the sick person never
receives any of it. The matter came
under the notice of the police, and
Mrs. O'Connor Investigated one case
where money had been raised to send
a sick woman away for treatment. All
efforts to locate the sick woman prov
led futile, and it seems that so far as
she is concerned her existence is a
myth. 1t is understood that this same
nurse solicited money a while back
with which to send a man in East Mo-
line away and nobody knows who the
man is.
