Resolutions
"We, the representatives of the
republican party of Audubon coun-
Is. Iowa, in convention regularly as
sembled. hereby and herein reaffirm
our faith in the fundamental princi-
Piles Of that party as laid down Oy
Lincoln, Grant, Blaine, Garfield,
Mckinley Taft and Roosevelt. and
we hereby renew our pledge 20 ex-
pend our best efforts in putting into
practice those principles. We en-
dorse the platform recently adopted
by the national republican conven-
ton recently assembled ana We
pledge our hearty support of it and
It's nominees. We believe that the
platform adopted is sane and sensi-
BILE and carries a promise to the
people of America to preserve its
rights and honor and under all con-
ditions. 1t rings true to the prin-
ciples of true Americanism and ad-
ministers a just rebuke to- those
wro seek to perpetuate in the nation
autocratic authority and official
misrule.
'"The republican party has ever
been a staunch believer in the theory
that this was a nation of laws rather
than of men, and it pledges itself to
do away with the misrule and auto
cratic power which has been usurped
by the present administration, and
proposes to a return to the observ-
ance to the laws enacted for our
government. Our nominees for
president and yice-president are
sane, sensible and tried public serv-
ants and can be depended upon to
do their duty without fear and with
out favor. Their past record shows
that they have during the past stood
for the observance of law and or
der, and we believe that the future
years will require and call for men
of this type. The coming years
will require men in public office
who will fearlessly take a stand
against the forces of reaction and
QlSOTuer, IOTCeS WHICH nave ptSh al
lowed to grow and spread by the
present Administrations.
1--WE believe that the great issue
in the coming campaign will be Am
ericanism against internationalism
and as republicans and as lovers of
our nation and its institutions, we
believe that the welfare of our ma
ton and its people should be first
considered The greatness of our
nation during the past has been
largely due to its following the adj
vice of that first great American,
George Washington, in keeping
free from the danger of foreign en-
tanglements, and we believe that the
prosperity and welfare of our peo-
pie will be best served by following
this same advice. The republican
party was born answering the cry of
men, women and children held in
bondage and 1t has never failed to
lend aid to the misery and suffering,
and in the future it can be depended
upon to do its part independent OF
the demands or orders Of any nation
or group Of nations"
