Resolution for Lowden.
W. G. Blood presented resolution
that the delegates should be instruct
ed for Governor Frank o. Lowden IF
Illinois, as the candidate for pres1-
dent. There is quite difference
of opinion as to whether the caucus
should discuss the instruction of dele
gates" he said. THE republican
party has the greatest opportunity IN
history to clear up the most chaotic
condition, and / know Of no man bet
ter fitted for this work than Frank o.
governor of Illinois. He has
been a most efficient governor OF
Illinois We owe it to Illinois as a
neighbor to support him, and it would
be a great thing If we could have a
candidate for president from a state
as far west as the Mississippi"
Mr.. Blood spoke Of the fact that
Governor Lowden lived in Iowa for
a time near Burlington. He then
presented a motion that it be the
sense OF this meeting that the dele
cation be instructed for Governor
for president. The motion
was greeted with applause, as wss
Lowden's name when first mentioned.
Frank L. GriRey said he did not
object TO Lowden, but he did not feel
that this little delegation had the
right to instruct the delegates. III
you had said in the newspaper you
we're going to instruct for president.
you would have had a bigger crowd"
he said. He thought the delegation
had no right under the call to in
struct.
DR.. G. Walter Barr said the dele
cation had as much right to instruct
Is to name delegates.
Judge Hughes Speech
Judge F. T. Hughes declared he
vas opposed to instruction OF dele
,aties. He said there never had
,een such an array of great men for
he republicans to choose from as
here was at this time. ANY one OF
hem could put the present president
wholly to sleep, he is partially there
low," the Judge declared He said
le liked Lowden, and he liked Gen
.ral Wood He is a great states |
nan, a great soldier. He can carry |
his flag acrsos the waters, and in |
he soul of the Stars and Stripes lie |
an carry the constitution of this |
,ountry. Then there is wonderful |
non IN tho papific cOaSt II is too
oon to pick man, and am opposed !

Ed. S. Lotion said he did not be-
ieve there was a more hearty sup
orter of Lowden than himself, but
e felt this was not the time to IN
