On motion Chairman John G. Skin
ner appointed committee on resolu-
lions, composed of Mrs. Annie Deuel.
of Jackson, J. c. Baldwin Of Bridger
and Alex Fairgrieve of Washoe, who
submitted the following report, which
was unanimously adopted.
whereas, for So years the repub
lican party has been party of CON
struction, unfolding American tradi-
tions, defending American institu
lions. For 60 years it has been
party laboring to benefit all of the
people, discriminating against no sec
ton of America or any class of Amer
leans. In all that period it has never
had to abandon any policy because it
was unsound, uneconomic or un-Amer-
lean. Within that period all Of its
constructive policies have been vindi-
Gated by the judgment of the Amer
lean people and the verdict Of time.
Therefore, be it resolved by the re
publicans of Carbon county in conven-
ton assembled that we reaffirm our
allegiance to the high principles Of
the party of Lincoln, Mckinley and
Roosevelt and endorse the efficient
and statesmanly administration of
President Calvin Coolidge. Frank, able
and honest he typifies Americanism
and republicanism at their best.
Resolved, that we unqualifiedly
endorse the efforts and public serv-
ices rendered by our able, courageous
republican congressman, the Hon.
Scott Leavitt, commend him for his
splendid work in behalf of Montana,
congratulate him on the high position
he occupies in the councils of the ma
ton and endorse him for reelection
to the position he now holds.
Resolved, that we extend our
greetings to the women delegates who
now vote with us in full capacity We
welcome them, not as assistants, but
as co-partners in the great political
work, in which we are all engaged and
we believe that the actual partnership
in party councils should be made more
complete.
"And be it further resolved that we
appreciate that the duty of good citi-
zenship demands that all legal voters
should exercise their right of suffrage
and we request and urge all those,
qualified to do so, to register and vote
at the elections to be held this year,
confident that the people will continue
to repose their trust in those prin-
ciples and in that party which has
played SO pre-eminent part in the
upbuiding of our nation and In the
prosperity and happiness of all its
citizens, and confident, too, that when
the ballots are cast in November they
will crown our efforts with victory, In
county, state and nation, thereby as
surfing a yet more splendid future OF
progress and of peace"
