I LARGE CONVENTION Je Representative Gathering of Repub licans of Holt County.—Endorse Taf , Snyder and Kinkaid. The republican county convention held at the Odd Fellows hall in this city last Saturday was one of the larg est conventions held in the county for years. A majority of the precincts were represented, many of them by full delegations, and it was as tine a looking body of men as we have seen V together for many a day The convention was called to i,rder by Dr. J. P. Gilligan, chairman of the county central committee, and upon motion Jacob Rocbe of Atkinson was elected chairman and S. S. Smith of Swan secretary. The temporary organization was then upon motion made permanent! and upon motion the delegates pre sent were recognized as the accredited delegates from the several precients and wards. Upon motion of R. R. Dickson the chair appointed the following com mittee on resolution: R. R. Dickson, Alex Searl, F. W. Phillips, Joseph Matousek, D. M Stuart. Upon motion convention then ad journed until 1:30. Upon reconvening the committee upon resolution reported as follows, and the report was upon motion ad opted: Mr. Chairman: Your committee on resolutions respectfully report the following: Resolved, by tile republicans of Holt county, Nebraska, in convention as sembled, that we reaffirm our ad herence to the principles of the re publican party enunciated in the last National platform and that we fully and cordially-endorse the administa tion of President Roosevelt, his cour ageous and untiring efforts to compel the rich as well as the poor to obey the laws of the country, his vigorous and timely intercessions to equitably adjust the differences that have exist ed from time to time between capital and labor. His determined purpose and policy to prosecute and punish law-breaking corporations and crim inals of all classes and in view of the fact of his not being a candidate for re-election, we hereby endorse Secre tary Taft, an adherent and advocate of his policies, both home and foreign as being the loyal and logical candid ate for presidential honors. Resolved, that we renew and hereby acknowledge our confidence in Sena tors Burkett and Brown and commend the progressive republican spirit that has characterizeed their public and official acts, and the manifest interest taken in all sections of the state in their fair minded administration of affairseffect ing the different localities. Resolved, that we endorse the ad ministration of Governor Sheldon and other state officials and members of the legislature and commend them for their statesman like attitude on all public questions. v Resolved, that we fully endorse all of the public and official acts of our distinguished congressman, M. P. Kinkaid, and we commend his deci sive stand on all matters touching the public service and the law making branches of the government, both as member of committees and upon the floor of congress; that we greatly ap preciate his active support of the rural free delivery system which has, resulted in almost complete country service for every county In his district; that we sanction and applaud the stand he has taken in favor of pen sions for soldiers and soldier’s widows and the furtherlegffsiatfon contained in his bill, act March 2, 1907, extend ing the privileges accorded by the general homestead laws to include persons who served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States during the Civil and Spanish wars or Philippine Insurection to receive credit for the term of such service on the five years residence required in perfecting final proof in support of entries made under what is commonly known as the Kinknid Law. We further commend his untiring efforts in the framing and passage of this act whereby millions of acres of land have been reclaimed throughout this congressional district, thus afford ing poor and needy people a means of livlihood and the procurement of homes for themselves and families We approve his measure, now a law, providing for the extended erea that can be applied for and sold as isolated t racts in the territory affected by the Kmkaid law; that his present bill amendatory of the Kinkaid law (act of April 28,1904), allowing homestead ers to make additional enteries to fill out the maximum 640 acres, whether from contiguous or non contiguous land; also the matter of improvements on their original enteries being cred ited as Improvements on their addi tional enteries and the fixing of the value of improvements required at the time of making final proof at 40c instead of $1.25 per acre is a matter of further relief and benefit to such en tryman and furnishes a further avenue for the appropriation of the vast erea of public lands now vacant in this district. And be it further resolved, that we having the distinction of being to a great extent his neighbors and per sonal acquaintances during his resi dence of nearly thirty years in this county, during which time we have always found him to be a conscien cious, honest and honorable gentle man in all his dealings, fearless in the discharge of his duties as a citizen and recognizing in him an able and faithful servant of the people of this congressional district, we believe him, M. P. Kinkaid, to be the logical can cidate from this district. And we hereby pledge our support for his nomination at the coming primaries and his re-election at the polls next November; that we con demn in unqualified terms, the deroga tory reports furnished the press relat ing to his attitude on the appointment of U. S. Collector for the district of Nebraska, as in no wise reflecting the sentiment of the republican party of this county; that we, not being fully informed, as to all the conditions existing throughout this congressional district, and being remote from the seat of action, repose implicit confi dence in our representative Kinkaid to take such a stand on all public and official matters as will the better sub serve the interests of the district at large. Rosolved, that we ardently endorse the candidacy of O. O. Snyder as one of the delegates from this congression al district, to the national convention and obligate ourselves that in the event of his selection, he will cheer fully co-operate with the remainder of t lie delegation from this state in the nomination of the exponent of Presi dent Roosevelt’s policies—the Hon orable Secretary Taft. Resolved, that we commend the ad ministration of our county officials through whose tenure in office are due the marked improvement of our coun ty finances and affairs over that which dlstlngrsed the mal-administratlon of the erstwhile "has-beens,” whose identity as a political party ceased to exist upon the termination of their brief regime and the disloyal attempt of trusted leaders to deceive the hon est members of their own party. Resolved, that we deeply deplore the impairment of the fair name and good standing of our county at home and abroad that has obtained through the malicious, misleading maudlin effusions of “yellow journalism.” Resolved, that this convention ten der a vote of thanks to Honorable J. P. Gilligan, chairman of the county central committee, and Romain Saun ders, its secretary, for their efficient services; also a like expression to the republican press for cordial co-opera tion and that we extend to the voters of this county, our appreciation of the magnificent support given our candid ates at the last general election.
