Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions made
the following report, which was
unanimously adopted.
We, the Republicans of Canyon
county in convention assembled,
hereby indorse the principles enun-
ciated by the Republican national
platform of 1908, upon which Pres:-
dent Taft stood and was elected by
an overwhelming vote, and espe
cially indorse and reaffirm that part
of the said Republican platform o.
1908 which reads as follows:
'In the great race era of the
American advancement the Repub-
lican party reached its highest SER
vice under the leadership of The
odore Roosevelt.
"His administration was an epoch
in American history. In no other
has there beeen such mighty progress
in those ideas of government which
make for justice, equality and fair
dealing among men.
'The highest aspirations of the
American people have found voice.
Their most exalted servant repre-
sents the best aims and worthiest
purposes of all his countrymen.
American manhood has been lifted to
a nobler sense of duty and obliga- !
tion.
Conscience and courage in public |
station and higher standards of right !
and wrong in private life have be- /
come cardinal principles of political
faith; capital and labor have been |
brought into closer relations of con-
fidence and interdependence, and the
abuse of wealth, the tyranny of
power and all the evils of privilege
and favoritism have been put to
scorn by the simple virtues of JUS
tice and fair play"
We point with pride to the envi-
able record of the states congress
sional delegation, and especially do
we commend the brilliant record and
splendid services of Hon. William E.
Borah. not only to this state and the
west, but to the nation at large. We
strongly favor his reelection to the
senate.
We favor the sending of a delega-
ion to the state convention at Lew
ston instructed for Theodore Roose-
relt and that they vote as a unit.
We further favor the selection of
he Hon. William E. Borah as a
delegate at large to the Chicago
,tSyention.
