The resolutions committee, consist

lutions. which were unanimously
adopted:
THE Democratic party OF Fremon;
county in assembly convened. earnestly
indorse the administration of Presi.
dent Wilson. We are proud of the
great record he has made as president
OF the republic and the service he has
been able TO render America and the
world in the great war from which
we have recently emerged
I'VE heartily approve Of the Demo
cratic platform adopted a, San Fran
cisco. We call especial attention to
. its plain and explicit Endorsement of
the League of Nations. To its con-
demnation OF profiteering and its rec
ommendation for the speedy enact
meni OF more stringent laws 10 rem
edy It's great evil.
I'VE are gatifed with the recogni.
tion by the convention that labor
should be treated as a commodity and
OF the principal of collective bargain
ing.
I'VE realize that the Democratic
party has nominated great man 10
be the successor OF President Wilson.
Ne observe with pleasure his earn
est Endorsement OF the Democratic
platform as a promissory note to the
American people. which will be re-
deemed and we have no doubt OF his
ability to make good. We pledge to
him and to his running mate our loyal
and earnest support
I'VE condemn most seriously the
assumed air OF superiority as to the
intelligence, loyalty and patriotism OF
the Republican party. and OF its vaunt-
ed ability to administer the govern
ment as unworthy Of good citizens.
We deny such assumption and point
in proof OF our position to the record
OF Republican administration dur.
ing the Spanish-American war in its
failure in contrast with our record
during the world war. and. also. point
10 the contrast OF the achievements
OF Democratic Congress from 1914 to
1918 and the miserable failure of this
present Congress. which has wasted
its energies simply in series of
fruitless Investigations. and. in an
effort to discredit that great and good
man. Woodrow Wilson. and TO defeat
the League OF Nations. We also con
denim and despise the failure of our
present Republican Congress to adopt
any OF the measures recommended by
President Wilson in his message to
Congress TO abolish profitearing and
TO enact any laws whatever to relieve
the consumer from the burden of the
high cost OF living.
I'VE greatly appreciate the loyalty
and assistance OF the women Of this
country and this state. and we heart
lily commend President Wilson and
Candidate Cox for their earnest ef-
forts to secure the ratification by the
states OF the amendment giving uni
