The republicans of Lee county,
in convention assembled, reafflrm
s; their allegiance to the principles
of the Grand Old Party, whose
constructive record of over hall
a century stands forth in bold re-
lief in the greatness and granduer
of these United States, and guar
antees in the future, as IN the
past, to do it's utmost to secure
personal and civil liberty to all
persons, safeguarding the rlghts
of uinorities and unswayed by
the Passions and prejudlces OF
popular will.
The republican party has always
stood and still stands for law, ana
order in government, and believes
that lasting progress can only De
obtained by peaceful and orderly
processes. and in this connection
we commend the efforts of our
senior United States senator, Hon.
Albert B. Cummins, in his efforts
to place upon our statute books a
law looking toward the peaceful
adjustment of all matters pertain
ing to the great transportation
system of our country, thereD!
eradicating force, with all its at
tendant evils, sllppanting 1t WIN
system based upon common
sense and the cool, calm 1udg-
ment of men competent to see that
justice is done impartially TO both
employer and employe.
We deprecate the recent efforts
of portion of the democratic
party in this state to prostitute the
primary law to their own unholy
ends, and call upon our state leg
islators to SO amend this law that
its abuse may no longer be pos
sbble, so that hereafter men who
are nominated in a republican prl-
mary will be legally nominated.

the votes of the opposite party.
To the women Of Iowa we ex-
tend a hearty welcome to 1ull
Participation in the activities OF
the party, in the coming presiden-
tial election, and trust the day IS
now dawning when equal suffrage
will be extended the full length
and breadth Of our land.
The republican party views with
satisfaction it's record during the
recent war, for 1t was only by re-
publican votes in the halls of con-
gress that our magnificent army
was made possible and victory
achieved
We desire to go on record as
favoring the ratification Of the
peace treaty, but with such res
ervsstions as will safeguard the
SHVeTelSHCy ana Independence VI
these United States.
Relying upon its constructive
record Of over half century. the
republican party goes before the
people at the November election
confident Of the verdict that will
DE rendered, and pledges its ut
most endeavors to overcome the
results Of the disastrous demo-
cratic debauch Of the past eight
years, and again place this ma
ton upon firm foundation and in
the forefront among the nations
Of the world
Be 1t resolved, that in recognE
ton of the many high qualities.
