Resolutions
Be it Resolved, That we CONNIE I'd
the administration of President TAFT.
We believe that it exemplifes the spirit
of that true progress that is conducive
to the best interests of he American
people. AS a president he has been the
true exponent of his nations highest
ideal. AS man his character is with
out reproach and worthy of emulation.
He richly deserves a denomination at
the hands of his party.
We, therefore, in accordance with
the time-honored custom of our party,
most heartily indorse William H. Taft
for denomination and pledge ourselves
to work earnestly and enthusiastically
for his reflections; and to this cad
our delegates to the national convention
are hereby instructed to vote as a unit
for the denomination of President.
Taft, and to use all honorable means to
bring about such result
The above represents the work Of
the republican convention in the Sec
ond Congressional district which con
vention was held wednesday afternoon
at Colorado Springs. Never at any
time was there any doubt about the
final result so far as, instructing for
President Taft was concerned. The
Roosevelt people made good but los
ing fight and lost by a vote of $50 to
l35. The first district convention for
the selection of delegates will be held
at Brighton May 1st.
The republicans of the city aud
county of Denver have placed com
plete ticket in the field headed by D.
c. Bailey as their candidate for mayor.
The platform adopted promises to CO.
operate with the citizens of Denver to
secure any form of government ma
jority of those citizens really desire;
to abolish all unnecessary offices; to
support state public utility commits
sion to regulate the rates of all public
service corporations; to purchase the
plant of the Denver Union Water com
pany; to fairly distribute the city's
money among the several banks of the
city; to clean the streets in the night
time; to abolish bill boards in the resi-
dent district; to provide more and
better play grounds; to re-district the
wards according to population; to
place the fire and police department
under civil service; to give permission
for the construction of railroad tracks
on certain streets with the guarantee
that all railroads can use said tracks;
to construct more and better roads, and
to use home labor and products in Ill
city work. In addition the platform
upholds the republican doctrine of pro
lection, severely condemns Colorado s
democratic representation in congress
because of its free trade position on
Colorado products and ends with the
following sentence against the state
administration. "The coming election
will be the opening gun in the battle
that is to be waged by the sober mind
ed public spirited patriotic republican
citizens of Colorado to wrest the man
agement of the affairs of this common
wealth from the incompetent, self
seeking, hypocritical crew of self
styled reformers who have so ruthlessly
betrayed sacred trust and grossly
mismanaged the affairs of the state
of Colorado
State Treasurer Kenehan, State Aud
itor Leddy and Governor Shafroth are
in financial statement contest. Gov
ernor Shafroth says there will be money
enough to pay all the third class appro-
priations and part of the fourth. Stata
Auditor Lediy says there will be
money enough to pay threefourths the
third class appropriations, while State
Treasurer Kenehan says he expects to
hold up the first class appropriations
after October 1st. He says he will
only pay all the second class. These
appropriations are for institutions
where the inmates are held against
! their will. As Mr.. Kenehan is bonded
|, to protect the finances of the state, he
will probably have the last say in the
matter.
The facts are, the administration is,
