Resolutions. ~
The convention adopted the follow

1. Our nation is at war. The most
important work of every citizen in the
state is to give his full support to the
government and the present national
administration in the prosecution Of
brought to a speedy and successful
conclusion. that the principles upon
which u government was founded
may be preserved for future genera
tons of Americans. We commend the
earnest and untiring efforts of Presi-
dent Wilson and his administration to
curtail unjust profiteering incidental
to the prosecution Of the war, regard
ing the war profteer and the German
proPasanoist as equaiiy dlsloyal.
Endorses President Wilson.
2. We endorse the attitude OF
President Wilson on the use of foreign
languages in public meetings, in re-
ligious services and the public press.
We further believe that the regulation
thereof is the prefogative Of the fed
eral government. Any other attitude
on the part Of state officials can not
be in. good faith. for in any conflict
between state and federal authorities
the federal law must prevail. u ?
8. We condemn the present state
administration for its utter failure to
keep its prediction promises to the
people of this state to conduct the
public affairs in an economical and
efficient manner, and we call attention
to the fact that there, has been an alb
normal increase in che cost of con-
Quoting every department of the state
government, with the exception OF the
state treasury.
Condemns Bill AZ.
We also condemn the attemp'
OF tne' admlnistration to convert un-

vides the safeguard that each pro-
