"Resolved, That we earnestly en-
dorse and commend the administra-
ton Of President Theodore Roose-
welt. He is great President and
a great man, and he has rendered
incalculable services to his country
and to mankind. Earnestly desiring
a continuation Of this administration
of law and justice and the square
deal to all, we naturally turn to the
man who has been and is, next to the
President himself, the greatest fac
tor in this great and splendid work
That man is the Hon. VIM. H. Taft
Of the state Of Ohio. We believe he
is the most available candidate We
like him for his big heart and his
big brain, for his self-sacrificing pa
triotism and his superb courage. We
believe his nomination will be ratified
by the people at the polls next No
vember, and that as President Of the
United States his administration will
be no less able effective and bcnefic-
ial than that of Theodore Roosevelt.
For these reasons and others, we
hereby instruct the delegates selected
by this meeting, to attend the con-
ventions to be held at Hinton and
Parkersburg, to use all honorable
means to bring about as our next
| nominee for President the said Will
liam Howard Taft.
"Resolved, That the delegates Sc
| lected at this mass meeting Of the
| republican voters Of Charleston dis
trict OF KanaWha county to the con-
Vention at Parkersburg, be and they
| are hereby instructed to vote for the
nomination Of Geo. w. McClintic for

sOnOrable means to secure his nomi-
| nation to that Office.
