Resolutions passed at the Republi-
can County convention held at Ithaca
February 8, 1915.
Whereas, we as republicans, claim
TO be consistant observers Of the in
!. Therefore be it resolved, that
under the present democratic admin
istration we have witnessed the grad
ual but pronounced decline in the
prosperity which was apparent and at
high water mark when the democratic
party took over the administration
of the affairs of this country in 1913.
2 Resolved, That we. who help to
make up the rank and file of the re-
publican party, recognize the fact that
our defeat at the last presidential
election was due to the personal ambi-
tion of one who was once our great
leader, rather than that the people
were not satisfied with the then ad-
ministration of public affairs.
3. Resolved That in the destruc-
ton of the protective tariff, by the
present administration, the democratic
party did more to injure the welfare
and prosperity Of our agricultural
manufacturing and labor interests,
than any other act which any admins
tration could have done. And that the
present burdensome revenue tax is
due entirely to such action, and not TO
the European war.
4. Resolved, That we believe i'm
America first for Americans, and that
American citizenship and American
industries should be guarded and pro-
tected first, and above all other in
terests aad that experience has taught
that this sacred trust can only safely
be entrusted by it's past political poll
cies, and to which we steadfastly ad-
here.
>. Resolved, That we have faith in
the good intentions and judgement Of
American citizen, and that when the
opportunity next presents itself we
will find all republicans pulling to-
gether for one common purpose, the
greatest good TO the greatest number,
protection to everything American
rather than being controlled by per-
sonal aim of am ambitious leader with
an eye single to political preferement,
which will mean that the great ship
of state will then be manned and con-
trolled by the republican party, the
history maker of peace, prosperity and
happiness, in this country.

GIVE BONUSES

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec 24.-That the
year has been prosperous one for
Wisconsin's industries was evidenced
today by reports coming in from all
over the state of bonuses being given
by many concerns to their employees.
Several smaller companies, which
in former years did not distribute
gifts, have announced that they will
make Christmas gifts this year totall-
ing no small amount.
The Wisconsin Tissue Paper Com
pany of Appleton has announced that
its employees will participate in the
profits of the company to the extent
of 10 per cent of their wages, instead
of the usual per cent which they.
have received for several years.
The First National Bank and Trust
company, the Wisconsin National and
First Wisconsin Trust company and
several other banks will give their
employees an additional two weeks
pay. ..... -
Employees of the Chamber of Com
merce and board of trade of Milwau-
kee will receive double the amount
Of their usual Christmas gifts, be-
cause, owing to poor business condi-
tons of last year, Santa Claus forgot
them entirely.
