ed Congressman Vo!stead's romina-

The Republicans of the Seventh
Congressional District of Minnesota in
convention assembled, adopt the fol-
lowing resolutions:
We congratulate the nation upon
the achievement already. wrought by
President Harding and his administra-
tion. At no time in the history of
this country has an, administration
taken the reins of government under
more adverse conditions than did the
Harding administration, and yet in.
the short space of one year, Presi-
dent Harding has started the Ship of
State from out of the Democratic sea
of discord, distrust and disaster, into
the calm waters Of returning conf
dence and prosperity. A year ago all
was gloom and despair. When the
wreckage wrought by Democratic in
efficiency cluttered every avenue of
trade and when all highways to pros
perity were closed by a debris Of
Democratic promises, the people turn
ed to the Republican party for that
party has ever been noted And now
the highways are again passable and
the avenues are once more opening
and the depressing clouds are break
ing, and the sun of hope and cheer is
warming the earth and the Democratic
warmth of Republican atmosphere
We rejoice at this change and we do
not hesitate to ascribe the benefit so
evident to the return of the Republi-
can party to power.
The attitude Of our Congressman
A. j. Volstead, in supporting and fur
thering every movement in behalf of
young men of our country who wore
the uniform, and whose sacrifices and
efforts shall ever be remembered by a
grateful nation, we heartily endorse

by our country's heroes, which can
never 8recompensed, we heartily
commend our congressman friendly

cd their country's call, to public posi-
tions for which he has had the recon-
mending power where practicable
We believe that the debt the country
owes to the ex-service man, entities

lies the responsibility for our nation

possible, ex-service men be given ev.
cry proper consideration and prefer.
ence, that they may, in time Of peace
as they did in time of war, be leaders
and assume the responsibilities OF
participating in maintaining the pre-
eminence of the nation for which they
fought.
