We, the representatives of the Repub-
lican party of Pembina county, in con-
vention assembled, do again affirm our
unfaltering allegiance to all the cardinal
principles of the Republican party.
We heartily commend the administra-
ton and endorse the policies of that
courageous and inspiring leader in
thought and action, Theodore Roose-
welt. His administration is the grandest
record of ideals advanced and results
achieved since that of our first Republi-
can president, the immortal Lincoln.
The Republican party in this cam.
paign demands as it's standard bearer
man who has proved his unflinching
devotion to the ideals of our President,
and who will permit no backward step
in the continuance of the fight for the
policies SO heartily approved by the
people.
We believe that the man whose record
ability and character commends him to
the people as the successor to complete
the great work 80 we'll begun Is that
man Of giant brain and Drawn, William
II. Taft Of Ohio; and we instruct oul
delegates here chosen to use all honor.
