vancement of Republican principles;
and,
Whereas, the President has made
it known in his recent message that
a postmaster serving one term salts
factorily to the Department and to
the patrons Of the Office, is to be con-
sidered prima facie worthy of sec
ond term; therefore,
Resolved, by the Republican State
Executive Committee in meeting as
sembled:
1. That we recognize the wisdom
and justice of the above enunciated
ruling and policy as in harmony and
accord with former utterances of the
President in regard to the abroga-
ton of the referee system and the
emancipation of the part in the South
from conditions and policies which
have tended to retard it's growth and
worked to it's detriment, and that this
and policy and will carry out same in
good faith in the matter of recon-
mendations for appointments.
Call to Rank and File.
g That we call upon the rank and
file of the Republican party in the
State, nine-tenths of which was rep
resented by more than 500 delegates
in the last Greensboro State Conven-
ton, who registered the voice of the
party as to the old referee plan, to
accept the will of the President in
this matter, and also to support the
administration in it's policy of dealing
with this question of dispensing the
Federal patronage in the Southern
States.
Republican Recruits.
8. That with the generally accept
ed belief and knowledge of Republi-
can sympathizers throughout the
State that nearly every precinct fur
nished independent votes whereby
Republican recruits were gained in
the November election, which means
that there are more Republican vot-
ers in the State to-day than ever be-
fore, the open-door policy of the late
Republican Convention should be per-
manently established until every le-
gal voter of the State who believes in
the National policies of the Republi-
can party is enrolled in it's ranks.
Democratic Press Condemned.
4. That we deprecate and condemn
the usual and characteristic campaign
methods of the Democratic press and
politicians as exemplified in the last
election, whereby they seek to influ-
ence the people through appeal to
passion and prejudice based upon un-
founded and unjustifable personal
attacks and ISLANDERS of opposing can.

sanship and are deserving of rebuke
at the hands of intelligent and think.
| ing men, and most emphatically dc
we condemn the illegal and fraudu-
| lent practices of election officers
whereby qualified Republican voters
are deprived of their franchise.
Taft's Southern Attitude.
5. We specially invite the attention
of the people of the South to the fac,
| that President Taft, more than any
executive in the last half century
| has featured as one of the chief pol
| icies of his administration most lib
eral policy toward the South, and we
! deplore the fact that Democratic poll
| ticians of the South have wilfully and
persistently perverted his true mo-
tives, and have thus far failed to
meet him in the spirit of his over
lures.
Endorse Taft. for denomination.
6. We hereby endorse the admins
tration and policies of President Viii
liam Fl. Taft. He is a national and
