LATAH COUNTY REPUBLICANS
PASS STRONG RESOLUTIONS

Following are the resolutions, il
full, passed by t&e republicans of La
tab county, in their county conven
tion held in Moscow Tuesday:
We, the Republicans of Latal
County, State of Idaho, in conven
ton assembled, looking with conf
-dence and assurance to the future O.
our great party, glorying in its pas
achievements, and realizing that the
future welfare of our nation demands
the return of the Republican party te
power in the notion, do hereby adop
the following resolutions and plat
form embodying the principles of the
Republicans of Latah County.
We approve and endorse the 1926
Republican platform adopted at the
Chicago convention, and we believe
that the future of our country de-
mands constructive legislation in ac-
cordance with the pledges made in
that platform.
"We are proud Of the selection of
Harding and Coolidge as our stand
ard bearers. We pledge the unswer-
wing support of the Republicans of
Latah County to Harding and Cool
idge in the coming election. The sue
cess of the Republican candidates for
president and vice-president in the
coming election means government
of progress based upon law and on
the Constitution of the United
States, and which will keep sacred
those traditions of our forefathers
which have SO safely guided US over
a century and a quarter of nationl ex-
istence.
eve believe that our foreign poll
cies should be guided by the wisdom
handed down to US in the past by
such patriots as Washington, Jeffer-
son, Monroe, Cleveland and Roose-
velt. We contend that no principle
enunciated in the Declaration of In
dependence, Our National Constitu-
ton, Washington's Farewell Address
and Monroe's Message should be set
aside, modified or given up by the
American people, and as Republicans
we congratulate the people of the
United States upon having as their
nominee for the office of president of
the United States Senator Harding
who will in no wise surrender any of
the principles thus enunciated at the
solicitation and urgent demands of
foreign governments.
We firmly adhere to the principles
of our great republic which was con-
ceived and has been built up by CIV
ing individual initiative its widest
scope without government interfer-
ence. We belive that the future well
fare and prosperity of our Govern
ment rests upon the principles of in
dividual enterprise and initiative,
regulated and controlled by the gov
ernment wherever such initiative and
enterprise conflicts with public in
terests. We believe in a representa-
tive form of government. We be- |
lieve that our forefathers acted with |
wisdom and foresight when provision
was made for our great departments
of government. We insist and de- |
mand that such Of these departments
of Government shall continue to 4
function and to perform their respec-
tive duties as provided in the Con-
stitution of the United States. Dur
ing the past four years there has
been an executive interference with
the functions of Congress, and es-
pecially with the Constitutional
rights of the Senate of the United
States, which has been foreign to
our traditions and entirely outside
of the spirit and intent of our Ma
tional Charter. The return to power
of the Republican party in the Ma
tion means that our Government will
be freed from executive domination of
Congress and that each great depart
ment of our government will be al
lowed to function in accordance with
our Constitution and which will in
sure the future sagety of our ma
lion.
We condemn any attempt to divide
the citizenship of our country into
classes and all attempts on the part +
IF individuals to create class feeling
and class hatred. Our Government :
must be made to function and will be
made to function under Republican
administration so as to serve all of
)ur citizens alike and give each in
lividual citizen equal opportunity to !
enjoy the blessings of life, liberty !
