The Resolutions.
We the young Republicans of Kan
sas deeming it for the best of all true
Republicans desiring the success of
their Republican principles, in meeting
assem- bled, do at this time hold these
truths to be self evident:
First-No body or organization,
physical, political or otherwise, can, in
The natural order of things retain with
in its life blood a full and pure strain
of its parentage except as it retains in
full and in all purity that blood which
has come from the original stock, the
original parentage without bIemish or
cross of any kind.
Second-That in keeping with this
automatic truth, recognizing the birth
of the Republican party. the father
hood of Abraham Lincoln, who first
| successfully raised to full development
the Republican child and who instilled
| into its very life and being certain
/ principles which have been success
fully developed into the highest forms
| throughout an unbroken generation of
! other immortal minds and beings,
among whom we mention Grant, Car
field, Mckinley, and our present presi-
j dent, ranking second to none, William
| Howard Taft, we hold that it is incon-
! TroVertible that as a mark of genuine
Republicanfsm, any man making
| claims to such RepUblicanism must
| first of all recognize and be a part of
/ tie original strain of Republicanism
which has today for it's highest type of
! party purity, and for . proper success
| sor in its fatherhood, our present
nominee for a genuine successor as a
| presidential nominee, William Howard
Taft. therefore, be it
| Resolved, by the young Republicans
| of Kansas, that we recognize as true
! Republicans and as true Republican
| ISM, those faithful adherents of the
| time tested party starting with Lin
coin and to be successfully carried on

| president, William Howard Taft, and
| that it is therefore both necessary and
highly proper that we do at this time
| challenge the Republicanism of any
| man or set of men who in any way at
| tempt to disrupt the party of our fore
| fathers and of our present selves, and
| that we do at this time resolve to dc
all in our power by any legitimate
means to make successful the election
| of every true Republican William
| Howard Taft electoral nominee, an6
also to elect and place in office every
nominee for any Office, city, county
state or national, who recognize an6
| work for the continuance of genuine
| Republicanism through the leadership
of William Howard Taft. And fur
