The resolutions follow:
Praise for Taft.
Resolved, That the Republicans of Ell
Paso county, in convention assembled,
do hereby congratulate the people of
the United States upon the success of
president Tafts legislative program;
his administration has been marked by
the enactment of broad, constructive
Legislation in the interest of the masses
of the people, and in this particular
president Taft in his first year of office
hn of n G
predecessors in a corresponding period.
He has displayed great tact in further
unifying the party and working out his
broad, beneficent plans with the help
even of former opponents whom he has
won over to the progressive Republican
program. and he is stronger today with
the mass of voters, the wage workers,
as we'll as the business and industrial
interests of the country, than he was
the day he was nominated. We bespeak
for him the unanimous cooperation he
deserves by reason of his wise and con-
sentative course: we declare our belief
that healthy party growth requires
constant change in details of party pro-
gram while party principles are IN
changing, and to insure such growth re-
quireS the friction of many differep-
minds, but all the problems of the r.
uOnal party organization can best ije
worked out within party mes
Confidence I'm Roosevelt.
We affirm our confidence in the
craftsmanship and executive ability of
Theodore Roosevelt and recognize in
him the highest type of a progressive
leader Of the national thought. His poll
icies are today the basis of president
Taft's constructive work, and the Re
publican program of today is happy
combination of Roosevelt's inspiration
To-
methods.
We believe that the Republicans of
this great commonwealth, if they will
get together stay together. and pull
together, VIII soon be power that will
take the lead in shaping the destinies
of this state; and that the progressive
policies of a Republican governor and
Legislature will mean the development
of the vast resources of grand old Tex
as to a degree impossible under the
present regime.
Tribute to Lyon.

the Republicans have a bril-
liant and earnest young leader, who adj
ministers the affairs Of the party in so
able and clean a manner that when n
revolution comes in the Democratic
party of the state those of that party

political home can find q safe haven in
the grand old Republican party of Tex
