y the nomination of county coroner,
| that being the only office left vacant
ON the ticket. DR.. O'Connor of Elk
ton, the present coroner was placed
in nomination and there being no OPP
position he was declared the nominee.
The matter of nominating four JUS
tices OF the peace and four conStables

tion the convention ratified the action
of the voters at the primary.

the following report, which was adopt
ed without dissenting vote, after

Resolutions.
We, the Republicans of Brookings
county, in delegate convention as
sembled, do hereby declare our loyalty
to and endorse the principles of the
Republican party as outlined in the
platform adopted by the recent Nation
al Republican convention and heartily
endorse the candidacy of VIM. II. Taft
! for president and James S. Sherman
for vice president.
While we regret that any consider
able number of the Republican voters
J of South Dakota were misled in the
: recent campaign by the so called Stall
Iarts we congratulate the people upon
he fact that majority still believe
hat the people should rule, and are
opposed to returning to the old condi-
MS CT subserviency to the bosses"
Ie again express our confidence in
honesty, high purposes and integ-
4 of Coe l. Crawford, endorse his
Adidacy for United States Senator
a pledge him the support of the
tmbers of the Legislature from
BOOKINGS county.
