We, the Republicans Of Delta Coun.
ty in convention assembled at Delta,
Colorado, on the End day of August
1922, pursuant to the official call of
the County Central Committee, re-
solve as follows:
The present Republican county Of
ficials have made a most enviable rec
ord in conducting the affairs of their
respective offices, and we heartily
congratulate them on their untiring
efforts and efficiency.
We commend the state administra-
tion for the work it has accomplished
during the past two years, especially
calling attention to the preservation
of law and order within our boundar-
les, when there has been so much dis
tress in other states. Lives and pro-
perty have been protected in Colorado.
We feel that this has been done to
a great extent through the organize
tion of the Colorado Rangers, the ex-
pense of which is paid from tax on
corporations. and not by individuals
and is merely neglible. We commend
the Twenty-Third General Assembly
for its work in behalf of the farmers,
stockmen and business men during
its regular and special sessions. The
construction of the Moffat Tunnel will
do more for the development of West.
ern Colorado than anything that has
been done for thirty years.
We most heartily commend the ex-
cellent work of our two representa-
tives in the state legislature, Hon.
Robert F. Rockwell and Hon. Thomas
l.. Blackwell.
We extend our heartiest congratu-
1ations and our deepest gratitude to
the National Republican administra-
tion and particularly to President
Harding and his great Secretary Of
State, Charles E. Hughes, for the ini-
tiation and successful conclusion of
the International Conference on arma-
ment limitation, the greatest single
successful movement ever made to re.
lieve the world Of the horrors Of war
We recommend our Republican con
gress and senate for the final adop
ton, in spite of the opposition Of par
tisan politicians, Of the treaties which
secure to us the results OF this great
move towards world peace.
We commend the administration o.
the Budget law by General Dawes
which in a single year has effected
the saving of $759, 100000.
We commend President Hardin,
and his cabinet for their business ad
ministration which has restored al
Liberty and Victory bonds to par, ant
in most instances raised them to
premium, and has alredy reduced tn
federal debt by millions OF dollars an
effected corresponding mitigation @
the burden Of the tax payers.
We commend the administration 70
it's firm stand against the recognitio
OF Russian Bolshevism as a form c
civilized government. and for its III
yielding opposition to any resumptio
Of diplomatic relations, whose onl
promise of future performance col
