Upon motion the assembly agreed

man was empowered to fill all va
cancies now existing.
The following resolutions prepared
by a committee composed of Bartlett
Sinclair, George R. Gray and F. A
Shultis, were read and unanimously
adopted by the assembly:
I'VE, the republicans of Boundary
county for the first time since the
organization of the county in mass
convention assembled take this op-
portunity of renewing our devotion
to the cardinal principals of re-
publicanism. At no other time in
the history of our nation has there
been as graet need of republican
president and republican congress
as at the present critical period.
Afflicted with a vascillating, pusil-
animous, discordant democratic ad-
ministration forced to appeal to re-
publican senators and representatives
for guidance and relief from the
dangers and embarrassments into
which its conduct and policies have
driven the nation, we are brought
face to face with conditions similar
to those our fathers confronted un-
der another democratic administers
ton terminating in a civil war, the
most lamentable epoch of our coun-
try's history.
I'VE look forward with anticipa-
tons of satisfaction and confidence
to the approaching general election
believing that it will restore to the
country a wiser and safer govern
ment at Washington and a period of
industrial prosperity Characteristic of
all past republican administrations.
I'VE observe with genuine pride
, the many unmistakeable signs of
favor, unsolicited and unlimited, with
which the name of Senator William
E. Borah is associated with tho
presidency of the United States. His
distinguished fitness for the discharge
of the vast and serious responsible
tiles of the position is beyond ques-
ton and we join with all other cit
liens of the state in extending felici-
tations to the country because of the
lohNoN% 0ho i4lSi CAolh6 1CtOSAiliOu W
the nation of his exceptional avail
ability as a presidential candidate.
1--WE deplore the fact that by rea-
son of the series of unfortunate cir
cumstances, misleading in their ma
ture, and over which the republicans
Of the state had no control and con-
corning which they were blameless
a democratic governor was elected.
We urge all republicans to exer-
, else the utmost care and caution al
the primary elections in order that
only honest and capable republicans
are nominated for Offices and to be
prepared and alert to refute the
false and prejudicial attacks made
= against the republican organization.
