n TRENTON, N. J., July 1S.-The
reports of the different county
chairmen at the Republican
conference yesterday were al
most exclusively to the effect that
! the sentiment among the Republican
voters of the State in the various
counties was favorable to the nomi-
nation of former Governor Edward
c. Stokes as the Republican candi-
date for Governor in the pending
campaign.
The conference, called to discuss
the Forthcoming campaign finished its
work by the adoption of set of reso-
buttons, or, to be more exact, of for

of the State. The following is tne
full text of the statement as adopted
by the conference:

Democratic Congress-. When an Ameri-
can citizen no matter how humble or
how great, is denied the right to par;
ticipate in his government and Is treated
as a malefactor If he attempts to ex-
ercise that right by pleading with his
representative, the time has come to call
the Republican party to arms We do
so on this occasion, confident of the
justice of our cause and certain of sue
cess. We call upon the young men of
the party to take charge of its affairs.
The party management in the course
of time outgrows its usefulness because
age loses ambition and energy. This Is
q young mans day. The Republican
party, always the party Of young men,
demands their s8vfces at this hour. We
insist that hereafter the. young men shall
have charge of the party management as
progressives and up to date advocates.
We urge the Republicans throughout
the State to nominate the best possible
candidates for office, men of the highest
character and of progressive, up-t date
ideas Let us appeal to the best senti-
ment of the hour and Republican success
Is assured.
We reaffirm the sentiment by this or
ganization of county chairman promul-
gated and given to the press last spring
that no clique or faction should don't
nate our action. In the support on
nomination of candidates we believe that
nominations should be made by the PEG
pie And when so made at the primaries
