rho stood by the administration, recon-
handed that the next senator be elect

borteen delegates to the state conven-

While not a great deal of interest

alton. Z, +. Wetherstone, of Omak,
was chosen temporary secretary in the
same manner. The only business trans
acted at the first session was the APP
pointmcnt of committees, the more i'm
portant of which was the committee on
resolutions, as on the report of that
committee depended the stand the con-
vention was to take on the much dis
cussed question of insurgency. a large
majority Of the delegates were regu-
lars, but the insurgent element was an
exceedingly busy bunch. The commit

ing Of resolutions was composed of
Fred. J. Fine, a. w. Barry and S. T.

PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.
We, the delegated representatives of
the republican party of Okanogan
county, in convention assembled, at
.0mak, Washington, this 10Th day o.
July, 1870 believing it to be in harf
'mony with the established policy of
the republican party to express in con-
yention the pleasure and will of the
people it represents respecting state
and national affairs: be it therefore
Resolved, That the administration
Of President William II. Taft has been
in keeping with the principles of the
republican party, and its policies as
announced in the republican national
convention of 1908. While there may
exist minor differences as to the wis
dom and effect of some of the schedules
OF the tariff law as enacted in pursu-
snce OF party pledges, its main fea-
lures have resulted in creating renewed
confidence, stability and activity in all
branches of business. And
That the fundamental principles of
the republican party, in keeping inVio-
late its pledges to the people, have
been consistently maintained by the
present national administration, and
in manner deserving the confidence
and support of all who have at heart
the welfare and prosperity now exist
ing throughout the country, and the
extenuation of the principles upon
which the party was founded and has
ever since maintained. And
That it is due from the people of Ok
anogan county to publicly express their
gratitude to that peerless republican
OF eastern Washington, Senator Wes-
icy l.. Jones, for his prompt and eff
clent services in their behalf that we
recognize in him not only a faithful
and efficient servant of the people OF
Washington, but man possessed OF
eminent ability and craftsmanship,
such as has entitled him to recognition
among the controlling powers of the
nation. And believing him entitled tc
reelection at the expiration of his pres
ent term, we favor the selection at the
coming election, of a United States
senator from west of the Cascade noun
talns. Be it further
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
tne able and business-like adminlstra-
lion OF our present governor, Hon. NJ.
=. Hay, and endorse and commend
Washington's delegation in the nation,
al congress who consistently aided and
supported the administration of Presl
dent Taft in the fulfllment of party
pledges during the late session of con
gress.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED. j. FINE,
ALVIN w. BARRY,
