Place IN evey part of the state.
I.fth.-We condemn the vacillating
and :owardly policy Of President Will
son and the Democratic party in what
he has been pleased to term his "watch-
E, full waiting" while American citizens
! have been shot and murdered almost
| without limit, their women dispoiled,
their children wantonly starved and
murdered and their property confiscated
and looted by band of Mexican muir
derers who tramp upon our flag and
designate our people as "cowardly
gringoes'' a condition which led SEN
ator Borah in recent speech in the U.
s. senate to say, "Jn Gods name has
the time come when we will not pro.
tect our citizens7'
Sixth.-We condemn the mastery
deception" and "repudiation of solemn
pledges" by the Democracy, the con-
fidance game of President WILSON and
the Democratic party which in the Bal
timore platform said; "We favor a
single Presidential term, and to that
end urge the adoption of an amendment
to the constitution making the prssi-
dent of the United States ineligible fol
reelection, and we pledge the candidate
of this convention to this principle,
of which the New York Sun said "Dr.
Wilson, the elected president of the
United States, actually went in to COLI
gress by means of the Palmer letter, to
lobby against the enactment of the
principle which his party had declared.
We condemn the reduction Of tariff by
the Democratic party who, to meet the
deficiency caused thereby have enacted
and enforced an "income tax" "cor.
poration tax" and "war tax" with
the war in Europe.
We condemn the democratic "shell
game" of reduction in the cost of ]iv-
ing that has raised the price of sugar
from $500 to 5000 per hundred pounds
and other articles in proportion.
We condemn the subserviency that
permits the riAing of our European
mails at will and continuously, the ae-
tions of foreign nations and the murder
of American citizens on sea and land.
We condemn that insincerity in Pres
ident Wilson to whom woman suffrage
was SO repugnant that he rudely re-
pulsed delegations of distinguished wo-
men, wishing to lay their views before
him, yet when the great mass of Amei-
can voters seemed inclining toward
women suffrage, Mr. Wilson voted for it
in New Jersey under the absurd plea
that "women suffrage is local issue. -
We condemn President Wilson's ad-
minist1aliJn for allowing neutral ports
to be b]ockaded to American commerce
By tolerating the seizure of America
ships, with neutral cargoes upon the
high seas, and the confiscation of their
cargoes.
BY permitting passengers to be taken
from Ame rican ships steaming upon the
high seas.
By allowing American owned vessels,
sailing under the American flag, be-
tween American ports to be seized by
a British cruiser and carried off to
British port.
We condemn the measure sought to be
initiated into the statute of the state
of Colorado called by a misnomer
"The Herd Law,' the name OF which
should be changed to GA Bill for al
Act to Blackmail and Bankrupt the
Stock and Ranch People of Colorado. :"
It has not one single redeeming fes-
ture Of herd law and we earnestly
urge the people of Colorado, regardless
of party, to work and vote against it.
Resolved, That the Republicans Of
Garfield county, in convention assem-
bled, endorse Hon. Chas. Lavender as
their candidate for judge Of the su-
preme court, and Mr.. Ollie Thorson of
Glenwood Springs their candidate for
state auditor.
