| Under Consideration.
We, tho Republicans of Maury
County, in convention assembled, do
hereby re-announce and re-affirm our
allegiance to the National Republi.
can Party. We believe in its prin.
ciples; we are proud of its history;
we stand upon its platform; and we
expect to advocate its policies. We
point with pride to all of It's leaders.
from the beloved Lincoln to the hon.
est and patriotic Taft.
We heartily indorse the admins
tration of our nations present Chief
Executive. 1t has been clean, wise,
and patriotic, and perfectly fair to
all. Under it labor has been we'll fed
and well clothed, and legitimate capt.
tai has not been disturbed. We re-
cognize tho fact that theer has never
been a President more patriotic, more
COURAGEOUS and more honest in pur-
pose, than our nations present Chief
Executive. We favor his re-nomina-
ton and reelection, and pledge our
votes and influence to that end.
We heartily indorse the admins
tration of our States present Chief
Executive. Hc has given the citi-
zens OF the State square DEAL"
None can justly criticise any of his
official acts. He has acted at all
times from the standpoint of right,
the greatest standard by which to be
governed. His administration has
been broad, clean, wise and business
like, and he has proven himself to
be a competent and efficient Cover
nor and clean, Christian gentle
man. We are proud of him and Of
the platform upon which he was el-
ected and upon which he stands to-
day--a platform which was written
by the cream Of the citizenship of the
State; platform upon which the
church, the school, the young men
and women, and the Christian citi-
zenship of the State can stand and
feel safe and secure, because it is
right. With such a man as the Hon.
Ben w. Hooper for a candidate, on
a clean, business platform, the only
kind upon which he would stand, we
Ieel sure that Victory will again
perch itself upon his banner in Nov
smber next.
We instruct our delegates who

nd better progress may be under a ,
etter and more efficient laws, we .
