ton is one of the first to be held in
the state much interest has been
corning the position the members of
the party would take In regard to

Reaffirm Party Faith.
Following are the resolutions, in
part. as adopted:
Resolved, That we, the republicans
of Rush county, In delegate conven-
ton assembled, hereby reaffirm our
faith in. and devotion to. the time
honored principles of the republican
party and most heartily indorse the
wise and able administration of our
president, William H. Taft, and de-
clare our unlimited confidence in his
ability and integrity.
Knowing full well that our chief ex-
ecutive and our representatives in
congress will wisely and safely con-
duct the affairs of our nation; that
all of our party pledges will be honor
ably met and that in all legislation
they will be guided by honest con-
victions, ever endeavoring to faithful
" discharge their obligations to their
constituents and to the best interests
OF all the people.
1ndorse Tariff Measure.
We most heartily indorse the Payne
tariff bill as a substantial redemption
of the promise of the last republican
national platform. Its enactment into
a law created no Industrial disturb
ance. It Is substantial downward
revision on many articles entering
into the general consumption of the
country, commonly called necessities.
After six months operation OF this
bill it's usefulness as a revenue meas.
ure has been demonstrated, and we
believe the test of time, which every
law should have, will justify it's pas.
sage both as revenue producer and
in its embodiment of the republican
doctrine of protection to American la
Dor and American industries.
Commend Commission.
We especially commend the pro
vision In this bill creating a tariff
commission, whose duty 1t will be t.
impartially collect all facts relating t.
any schedule, whether it be too high
or too low. The work OF this com
mission will ultimately result in the
proper adaptation Of schedules t.
changing conditions.
We heartily indorse and recon
mend to the citizens of Indiana oul
senior senator, Albert J. Beveridge
As an untiring worker and a zealou.
republican he has brought both credi
to himself and honor to the peopl.
whom he represents. And we earn
estly urge his reelection as the sen
Tor senator from Indiana.
Our representative In congress, viii
liam O. Barnard. has stood for tn,
best interests of his party and hi,
constituency. As a man he is capable
upright and judicious. and one ii
whose hands the interests of the pee
pie of this district may be place,
with safety. We heartily recommen,
him to the voters of the Sixth distric
for reelection.
