The Resolutions.

we, the Republicans OF Maur
county, in convention assembled, d
hereby renew our allegiance to tn
great principles of this grand organ
cation which was christened with tn
blood of the immortal Lincoln, nurtuI
ed by the spirit of the gifted Garfield
regenerated, redeemed and sanctifiet
by the martyred death of the peer
less Mckinley, and promise anew oul
devotion to its grand cause and oul
support of its candidates when duly
nominated. We look with great salts
faction to the fact that our Presi
dent, His Excellency, William Howard
Taft, is endeavoring to make good the
promises of the party made in its
platform in it's last convention by urg.
ing on Congress the enactment into
laws of such promises.
I'VE commend his wise administra-
ton and approve his purposes and
work on all questions of public inter-
est and pledge our faithful support to
him and his administration.
I'VE also commend and endorse the
course of our Republican representa-
tives in Congress from Tennessee, to
wit: Hon. w. p Brownlow and r.
w. Austin in upholding and support
ing the President in his efforts in re.
deeming our pledges to the American
in this course of support to the ad-
ministration. We furthermore deplore
most sincerely and unreservedly con-
denim the policies and course of action
taken and methods employed in the
consumation of some of the schemes
Of the party renegades, the so-called
insurgent Republican members of the
House of Representatives Congress

tempts at party disruption and party |
Reorganization. We re-affirm the po-
sition taken by the Republican party |
in its platforms for the last ten years
On the saloon question in this state
and urge again upon our delegates to
AXE no backward step on this impor-

uch a ballot and count can represent
he will of the majority in the exercise

orcement in this country and call up
n all good citizens to call upon us in

And call attention to the fact that ]
he present day Democracy is appar- '
ntly unable to cope with the lawless-
ess in this State or to enforce laws '
{ which it is the sole author and e
Donsor
I'VE pledge the people of this State
lat when we elect the candidate for
