Whereas a political campaign is
impending in which the issues invol-
we'd are more momentous than any
that have presented themselves to the
people of the United States since the
days of Lincoln--issues which affect
the honor and dignity of the nation
and the liberty and prosperity of our
people therefore, be it
Resolved, By the republicans of
Van Buren, county in convention
assembled that we re-affirm our faith
in the republican party as the party
under whose guidance our country
has made it's greatest progress, as
the party which has fairly faced and
efficiently solved the problems that
have shaped the destiny of our
country.
Be it further Resolved, That we
pledge our loyal support to the repub-
tions already held or yet to be held and
lican ticket as named in the conven-
in the recent primary, and we re-
affirm our faith in republican princi
Piles as set forth in the republican
national platform and in the speeches
of Charles E. Hughes, and that we
intend Van Buren, county shall do her
share in making Michigan once more
the banner republican state in the
union.
Resolved, That we congratulate the
State committee on its
foresight in fixing the date Of the
county convention on the day follow
ing the Maine election so that the
news from Maine can inspire us at
the opening of the campaign that is
to lead to the greatest republican
victory in history.
Resolved, That we accord Chairman
Of the democratic national
committee the title. of the Worlds
Greatest Optimist" when he says that
'the vote in Maine presages a sweep
ing democratic victory in November"
Be it further Resolved, That we
condemn in no uncertain terms the
financial extravaganza Of the present
democratic administration and its
facilitating conduct of foreign affairs,
which have subjected our country to
he ridicule of nations, and that we
consider termination of such policies
rs vital to the safety and welfare of
)ur republic.
