Chicago are hereby instructed TO at all
times work and vote for the renomina-
tion OF william Howard Taft
We approve the action OF Director Nc
hinley IN indorsing the holding OF presi-
eehusl primaries where authorized by
law and the holding OF free republican
caueuses where sueh primaries nave not
been surrounded with legal safeguards.
FIRST, because the time-honored system
under which, without objection on his
the part OF Colonel Roosevelt. President
laft, with the hearty approval OF Colonel
Roosevelt, was once nominated, Is with
out righttul objection on the part of any
one until the law shall furnish protecucn
10 republican primaries.
Second. because Colonel Roosevelt has
complained that while he carried the state
OF Oklahoma he lost some one or more
districts and clearly Implied that he
would stifle the local sentiment By the
majority elsewhere. thereby declaring In
effect tor the democratic unit rule under
which men are voted against their own
wishes and convictions and those OF their
constituents.
Hon w. n. Green has sustained In
congress the same high ideals and record
for earnest and impartial work which he
exempltfied on the bench. and we unan-
imopsly indorse him for q succession TO
the position he now holds.
We indorSe the candidacy OF William
Thomas OF Montgomery county as a can
dldate for appointment to the position
OF United States marshal for the southern
district Of Iowa.
One Of the strong speeches Of the con-
vention was made by Judge Walter l.
Smith. Il was not only notable for
Its endorsement OF President Taft. but
also for his declaration that II would be
the last political speech he would ever
make.
Other incidents OF the convention were
the talks Of Senator Saunders Ernest L.
Hart and Frank y. Everest. Senator
Saunders made real political talk, hold
ing 10 national issues and charging the
present commercial unrest 10 the fear
Of democratic success. National Com
mitteeman Hart said he was content to
