Resolved, that we, the Republicans of
Addison County, Vermont, in conven-
ton assembled express anew our allie
glance to that party of progress that
has given to America a Grant, Nc
Kinley, Blaine, John Hay, an Elihu
B. Root, an Edmunds and Morrill,, and
to the world Lincoln and Roosevelt,
to that party for whose just and right
eous principles our fathers were willing
to sacrifice their blood, to that party
whose sagacity in legislation and right
eousness in diplomacy have transformed
the position of the American republic
from its isolation in 1856 to that of
recognized moral leadership of the ma
tions of the W orld today.
Resolved, that in thus renewing our
: allegiance to the great Republican
| party, we assert our belief that new
questions are constantly arising as i'm
portant as those which appealed to our
fathers, and that the solution of these
: new questions demands from US, like
devotion to the best dictates of con-
q science that we believe that the world
, is growing better and demands higher
standard of morality than former gen
erations dreamed of, and that we desire
that the Republican party should lead
the nation, state and county in all prac-
teal efforts for the attainment of such
: improved standards.
b.. Resolved, that we favor such direct
= primaries law and such a corrupt prac.
tees act as will aid in the realizat ior
, of the principle that the office should
seek the man and not the man the
y Office, and that we believe there should
e be definite statutory limitation upor
: the amount that may be legally spent II
aid of the candidacy of any man for any
y nomination, to the end that it shall be
) as easy for worthy candidate without
:. means to obtain a nomination as it i:
for one possessed of money.
Resolved, that we commend the plat
q form of the Republican National Con
n vention of 1908 as interpreted by Presi
e dent William H. Taft in his pre-elect
: ton addresses and that we call upon oul
distinguished congressional delegation
whom we commend as worthy success
!. sors of notable predecessors, to USE
l. their every endeavor to obtain the re
, alization in congressional enactment Of
- the principals of that platform as so in
terpreted.
l. Resolved, that we commend the adj
ministration of Governor George H
% Prouty and congratulate Chief Judg
- John w. Rowell of our Supreme Cour
Y upon having attained the notable dis
Y tinction of longer service on the bencl
9 than that of any of his predecessor
. and record equal to the best of them
and upon his having so sgnally assisted
N in rendering the decisions of our Su
preme Court the standard of justice ant
" judgment everywhere.
10 Resolved, that we recognize in Theo
1 dore Roosevelt, leader who is worth,
"a to rank with any in history, and who's
t. devotion to the right as he sees i
should be the emulation of every othe
% Republican in the land.
- Resolved, that as Vermont is tn
81 banner Republican State of the Union
Y so Addison County is the banner Repub
IS lican County in the state and as sue
"A should demand and receive larger par
- ticipation in the gift of offices of homo
n and trust in the State government thai
lie has been accorded to her in man
years.
