Chairman Makes Address. s5<
Paul Mccormick and Austin North
were appointed to escort the perma'
nent officers to their stations. Mr.,
Goddard was introduced by Paul Nc
Cormick.
In taking the gavel the chairman
made a short address. He expressed
his appreciation Of the honor con
ferred upon him and expressed graft
fication at the harmony which ex.
listed, in the republican ranks OF Vel.
lowstoneScounty and continuing said:
"The war is over, the Ratchet is
buried, and every republican Is q
booster. We have an Organization
here in Billings known as the Boost
ers' club and n Of its principal oh,
jects is to get together. We as re.
publicans are already together, and
will stay together. The signs Of the
times indicate that in Yellowstone
county at least there will be nothing
but republican victory in the coming
campaign.
I'm regard to policies, it is folly for
us to undertake to outline any, for
Roosevelt has outlined those policies,
and his policies are the policies Of the
state and the nation, and while he ds
not a candidate for reelection, 1t re.
mains to be seen whether or not the
Chicago convention will be stampeded
for him, and that he will again be the
standard bearer Of the great republic
can party, and will march to q glori.
Gus victory on the third day Of No
vember." E.
Resolutions Reported.
After the previous proceedings OF
the convention had been ratified by
the convention, Chairman Goddard
called for the report Of the committee
on resolutions. It was read by James
R. Goss. It follows:
We; your committee on resolutions
beg to report the following resolutions
and recommend their adoption by the
convention:
Resolved, By the republican party
Of Yellowstone county, in convention
assembled, that we endorse and com
mend the wise, patriotic and fearless
administration Of President Roosevelt
and congratulate the whole people OF
the nation upon the splendid prospects
Of the continuance Of these politics
for another term Of four years Of re
publican rule.
Respectfully submitted,
