our president, Theodore Roosevelt.
That in William H. Taft, we recog-

publican party and give to the people
an administration of national affairs.
thatl'wil rebound to the benefit of all
the people and preserve them that de-
gree of liberty and equal rights secured
by the constitution of the United
States, and we hereby instruct the
delegates selected by this convention,
to vote for delegates to the national
convention, who will vote for William
H. Taft, for nominee, on the Republi-
can Ticket Tor president of the United
states.
We hereby vote our approval of the
splendid administration made by the
Republican party in the State Of Colo
RADIO for the past two years.
We unanimously commend and az
prove the course of our congressman,

present term of Congress and hereby
instruct the delegates, sent by this con-
vention to the second Congressional

W take this opportunity to call the
attention of the voters Of Clear Creek
county to the record made, during the
past two years, by the Republican
county officials of this county and call

increase in the burden of taxation, at
the same time keeping the county roads
and county Institutions at high
standard of excellence.
