Wisconsin from extravaganza, mis-
management, specious promises and un-
sound doctrines in state government.

delegate contest, but for the state and
national campaigns by electing the

Text of Resolution.
The committee on resolutions, Mr..
Harrington, A. L. Drury, Kenosha,
and Steve Benish, Racine, drew APP
plause with the following statement
booming President Coolidge:
Republicans of the First Congress
sional district of Wisconsin, in con-
ference assembled, emphatically ex-
press their faith in Calvin Coolidge
and their abiding belief that in him
the people have a man measuring to
the stature required for chief execu-
tive, and endowed with those attri-
butes which guarantee an administra-
ton of that high Office in the interests
Of and for the greatest welfare OF
the people.
We believe his nomination at the
Republican national convention called
| for Cleveland, o., in June, is neces-
sary step toward the return of the
United States to normal expenditure
| for government and reduction of
taxation caused by war and its con
tinuing load of responsibility. Belief
that the people might be relieved OF
that tax burden has been coined into
action by the insistence of President
Coolidge. That step is in harmony
with the great reduction in cost of
government. 1t is another step in the
program of handling the finances of
the nation, which under a Republican
administration has made the credit
and currency of the United States
above par in world finance.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the
party of Abraham Lincoln and his IL
lustrious successors. We are proud
of the accomplishments of Harding
and Coolidge, who have performed
herculean tasks. No presidents ever
entered upon the duties Of Office with
more tremendous problems confront
ing them and no men could have
been more successful in bringing
order out of chaos.
Have Faith in Coolidge.
We have faith in Calvin Coolidge, in
his honesty and devotion to the eco
nomic administration of public af-
fairs, in his clear understanding of
the agricultural situation and his inn
mediate action to relieve the farmer,
in his attitude on international rela-
tions, his independence of thought and
those qualities of patriotic belief in
America and it's destiny; in his sup
port and unfolding of all its laws
and constitutional provisions, and
pledge our united support for his
nomination and election.
The Republicans of the First con-
gressional district in conference as
sembled, after due consideration, here
oy instruct the delegates named as
candidates to be voted for as dele
gates to the Republican national con-
vention at the primary on April /,
1924, to vote for and do all in their
power to bring about the nomina-
tion of the leader for tax reduction,
Calvin Coolidge.
In view Of what has been accom-
plished, and in the face of what still
remains to be done, we therefore urge
upon the voters of this First Congress
sional district, the united support of
the Republican national party and
