Chairman Waterman of the COM
mittee on resolutions read the follow
ing report, which was adopted by ac-
clamation by the Republican conven-
ton at Pueblo:
The Republicans of Colorado in
state convention assembled. reaffirm
their confidence and. unfaltering faith
in the principles of the Republican
party which We're made glorious and
eternal by the steadfastness and pa
triOtism OF Lincoln. Grant and Me-
al. ,.,I.
reservedly declare
For a protective tariff adequate
to defend the industrial agricultural
and mining activities OF the United
States against the runous competi-
tiOn OF foreign producers:
For a navy great and strong
enough to defend the United States
successfully against the navies of the
world
For an army and national defenses
sufficient to repel any possible in
vasion OF any part of the earth over
which our flag floats:
For the absolute protection of the
lives, property and rights of Ameri-
can citizens everywhere upon land
and sea;
For the development of every in.
dustry and art to the end that in the
event of war the United States may,
in every particular be self-support-
ing:
For a firm. determined and con.
sistcnt policy in all our foreign af
fairs
| For the arousal and maintenance
OF an insistent determined spirit OF
patriotic Americanism in American
manhood and womanhood:
For the maintenance of the SOW
ereignty of the United States in the
Philippine Islands;
We commend the unfaltering
service of our Republican represen.
tative in Congress.
The inefficiency Of the Democratic
party in the conduct of government
and its inability to recognize and
solve the problems of public affairs,
which have disgraced this nation in
its foreign relations. disorganized its
finances and degraded its public
service in every department, are the
same inefficiency and inability that
once brought our state government
to the verge OF anarchy and inflicted
irreparable dishonor and great fInan-
cial loss upon the people of Colorado.
We mqualifiedly and enthusiastic
ally endorse and commend the splen-
| did, economical and constructive ad-
ministration of the present Republi-
can state government, and we earn
est!y urge all patriotic Americans to
cooperate with us in support of the
Republican candidates who will bring
our nation back to the high standard
| Of preparedness for peace or war and
OF efficiency in government which it
has been the proud record of the Re-
publican party always to maintain.
We urge Congress to pass at once
on to the State Legislatures for rati-
fication thee Susan B. Anthony
amendment enfranchising women.
We believe that in this crisis of
our country's history victory can only
come to our party organization by
nominating a man for the presidency
who is fearless in his advocacy Of
preparedness for national defense,
the protection of American industries
and the defense OF national honor"
