Resolutions Adopted.
''To the Members of the Conven-
ton:
"We, the Republicans of Gar
field county, in county convention
assembled, again declare and re-
affirm for the doctrines of those
splendid principles of Republican
ism that have been the guiding
power of this country for the last
half century. and it is with
sense of honor and pride that we
point to the record that it has
made in the development of this
glorious republic, and especially
do we call attention to the master
full and brilliant administration of
our twenty-sixth president, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who has by his
leadership made this nation
world power. We believe in his
policies and feel that they can
be best served and developed by
nominating himself as his worthy
successor, and feel that if the con
vention at Chicago should again
nominate him, his election will be
fOregone conclusion and that he
will only be elected for the sec
ond executive term.
"For the first time in many
years we have representative in
the United States senate who is
Republican, and it is gratifying to
| us to see the work that has al
ready been accomplished by our
Junior senator, Hon. Simon Gug-
genheim. His conscientious and
! untiring efforts in behalf of our
| commonwealth have already been
felt through the state.
"We heartily endorse our del
eration in congress and especially
the services of the congressman
from our district, the Hon. War
rem A. Haggott, and we point with
pride to the work that he has
been able to accomplish, especial
| ly his labors in the postal COM
! mittee in his efforts for better
postal facilities, which the West is
so strongly in need of; and also
for the personal attention that he
has given to all matters that per-
tain to his constituents.
cit is indeed with sadness that
we sympathize with our sister
county of Mesa in the death of
Charles Caswell, Judge of the su-
preme court-an able lawyer and
true believer in the principles
Of the Republican party, and one
who always stood for the western
slope and its needy interests.
GAS Republicans of Garfield
county, we stand for a square deal
to all mankind, and stand united
for the greatest development of
our county, which has the honor
Of bearing the name of the mar
tyred Garfield"
