We, the Republicans of the county
of Shiawassee, in convention assem-
bled, do hereby pledge ourselves to
the following principles of our party,
which commend it to the people for
their suffrage at the coming election:
First, we pledge ourselves to strive
with every means within our power
to win the war, and to win it now.
Second, we pledge ourselves to work
for peace with victory, and never a
peace by a compromise-bargaining
of principles which would violate
American rights, interests or honor.
Third, to prepare in a sane manner
to solve the immeasurable problems
of reconstruction that come after the
war.
Fourth, we reaffirm our devotion to
the old established Republican princi-
pie of Protection of American Labor
and Industries, and respectfully urge
that in the reconstruction to follow
the war this principle will be of great
er Importance than ever before, be-
cause it will be the only means of
keeping out those articles bearing the
label "made in Germany"
We congratulate the Republican
voters of the state Of Michigan, the
Eighth Congressional District and
Shiawassee County on their wise selec-
ton of candidates in the recent pri-
mary election. We are particularly
pleased to endorse at this time our
candidate for Congress, Commander
Truman H. Newberry, and Hon. Jos.
w. Fordney. We also heartily endorse
the nominees for our legislative ticket
as well as the nominees for the vari-
Gus county Offices, and are pleased to
commend them to the voters as stall
wart Republicans and able men, and
pledge our earnest efforts to them in
securing their election in November.
