Tho Resolutions.
Be It resolved:
We congratulate the republicans OF
Marshall county upon their loyal sup
port Of those candidates and OF those
measures which have made possible
the remarkable progress OF tho party
in recent reforms within the state and
1t is with pride that we hereby extend
to Senator Cummins and his colleague
Senator Dolliver, and to the so-called
"insurgent' members Of congress oul
unqualified endorsement for theil
heroic defense OF the best interests OF
the people Of the middle west against
the aggression OF the special interests
which seem to be all too powerful In
their influence upon legislation.
We believe that the new law regulat-
ing railroads, which Is the triumph Of
the present session OF congress. owes
its most neritoriOus parts to the wis
dom and the determined insistence oil
the two senator's from Iowa and 1t Is
with pride that we recognize this con-
tribution from the representatives OF
Iowa republicanism to the welfare OF
the nation.
We admire the manhood, the inde-
pendence and the devotion to duty
which caused our two senators to vote
against the tariff bill which they be-
lieved to be inimical to the best inter-
ests OF the public and yet We have
tolerance for all men who might have
held different views as to the ex-
pediency OF this compromise
We certainly denounce as intoleran,
and unwise any effort to question the
republicanism or to punish the political
persons OF representatives OF loyal re-
publican states. who protest against
the acts Of a majority which are hos
tile to the public interests which they
have been sent to represent.
We are pleased to commend our
brilliant young congressman. James w
Good, from the Fifth district whose
first term in congress without previous
experience in public office has intro
as a man of ability worthy of con-
tluueu 1oIOES puDIAS ~ hSl
We are pleased to extend to Presi-
dent Taft our sincere hopes for the
success of his administration to the
end that he may be able to accomplish
the fulfillment OF the party's pledges
in the national republican platform OF
1908 and which he has SO often pledged
himself to accomplish.
We rejoice at the success of the
anti-pass law and the state wide pri-
mary in removing corruption from our
politics and we are confident that our
party presents to the voters this fall
a list Of candidates for state office
whose integrity has been irreproach-
able in their public trust.
We hereby instruct Marshall county's
delegation to the state convention &c
vote as a unit for an unqualified en-
dorsement OF our two senators and
their colleagues in congress and TO vote
as a unit for all measures OF organiza-
ton in that convention which the ma
FORTY Of the delegation decide to be OF
assistance in accomplishing such en-
dorsement
That we endorse the candidacy OF
