The Pierce resolution. which was in
troduced as an amendment to the re-
port OF the committee on resolutions
and which was in effect that the con-
vention pledge the republicans OF the
county to support the Chicago con-
vention's nominee, was voted down fol-
two reasons. j. A. Travers. Of the SOL
diers' home, voiced the prevailing sen
| timent when he said that I'VE are all
republicans or else we wouldn't be In
this convention. This resolution Is
meant to question our republicanism
and is superfiuous. We need no such
resolution" He said the resolution cast
a reflection on the convention. The
only objection to 1t, however. was that
the resolution came from Pierce and
Boardman. which on the vote mus
tered as many as eight heads to be
counted.
Boardman's resolution, endorsing the
administration or President Taft. wSs
lost by an even more overwhelming
vote. Only six could be mustered TO
support 1t, altho the convention was
not disposed to be hostile to the presi-
dent. Boardman demanded roll call
BY precincts, but Chairman Cummings
refused It,
Tho Conventions Resolutions.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions, which commended Senator
CMnmins, instructed the delegation to
support him for the presidency in q
unit. and heartily endorsed Theodore
Roosevelt as second choice next to
Cummins. was as follows:
"The republicans Of Marshall county
assembled In regular delegate conven.
ton. declare:
"Firs-That we believe In subcrdi-
mating the special interest to the gem
eral welfare In all activities of govern
ment, and in order to accomplish that
purpose we should insist that all re-
publicans elevated to positions OF pub
lie trust be men who have demon
strated that they hold tenaciously TO
the same fundss mental faith OF pro-
gressive republicanism.
"Second-Inasmuch as II IL the duty
Of this convention to select deiesntes
to state and district conventions who
shall determine what candidate Iowa
shall support for the party's next can
didate for president. we unhesitatingiy
declare that the republican party IN
Iowa should be unanimous in present
ing the name Of its own distinguished
son and senior senator. Albert b. Cum
MINIS. For seven years as governor OF
this state he proved his capacity as an
executive and his record Of leadership
in long list Of legislative reforms
which has served to establish the gov
eminent Of Iowa as an ideal before a
sisterhood Of less enlightened common
wealths. have designated him as one
who gives greatest promise Of being
able to re-establish the public welfare
as paramount to special interest in the
politics of our nation. His short career
in the United States senate has already
demonstrated him to be the peer OF the
ablest men in our national public life
and wa believe that he offers the great
est promise OF party success at the
head OF the ticket In the coming ma.
tional election
"Third-We heartily endoNe the
patriotism of Theodore Roosevelt. who
has entered this campaign at great per-
sonal sacrifice to himself, as we believe.
to do what he can to save the republi-
can party from control by corrupt
bosses and agents Of special interests
