RESOLUTIONS

The republican party Of the county of Grant.
in convention assembled, reafarms tie allegiance
to the principles OF the party as enuncia.ed In its
platform adopted in national convention in 1904
We feel that all the pledges made in that plat
form have been fully carried ont and fulfilled:
No promise made therein has been broken. and
all questions of government that have come up
requiring action have been successfully met
and disposed OF by a republican president and q
republican congress-. The rights OF the people
have been in all things protected - guaranteed
by the constitution and the laws Of the land.
Desired legislation has been had to regulate cor

commend and endorse the administrator of
Theodore Roosevelt. He represents the highest
type OF American manhood and is one OF the
greatest statesmen OF modern times. HIS move
ments are watched and his influence felt ia every
country and In every cline. His administration
will be regarded as one OF the most successful
and best in American history. 1t 10 with ex-
IRENE reluctance and feelings Of regret that we
accept his ultimatum that he will not stand for
