We, the republicans OF Burt county, in
convention assembled, congratulate the
people of Nebraska upon the continued
prosperity OF our state under wise laws
enacted by the republican legislature Of
1907. whereby our state debt has been fully
paid. and the mortgage Indebtedness OF
our citizens has been reduced many millions
Of dollars in the last two years.
+. We are in hearty sympathy with the
policy of President Taft for n downward
revision of the tariff called for by the
national republican platform on which he
WAS elected. We strongly endorse the
course of our senator's, Elmer J. Rurkett
and Norris Brown, and all representatives
in congress. who are working In %conJunc-
ton with them, in the present extra ses-
schedule. We believe in an adjustment
Of the tariff that will properly protect the
manufacturer and at the same time will
not burden the consumer.
We approve and commend the work of
our state representatives in the last legis-
lature.
We express our earnest thanks to Hon.
John F. Piper for his faithful and efficient
services as chairman, and to c. o. Swan
son and G. A. ireland as secretaries Of
our county central committee for the last
three years.
We condemn the action of those members
Of the Legislature of 1909, and others, who
were responsible for the attempted recount
without justification or excuse and against
the plain letter of the law.
