Folloitrtng are the reaojuttona ad¬ opted by the conYention:~ -.1 Clay County Republtcana, ia con- ,.''Mention aaaembled, hereby renew onr •llth and confirm our hope tn the final and ultimate triumph of the princlplea ot the party of Lincoln, Oarfield, McKlnley and Rooaevelt. ^ In aerene confidence tn an over¬ whelming victory next November— a victory which wltl make the old McKlnley and Rooaevelt majorlttea look like a cloae race—we gird our- aelvea atid pledge our time, our ef¬ fort and onr vote to help swell thta Victory tnto an avalanche. As an earnest of good faith we Invite all loyal patriotic citizens who believe in the preservation of our consti¬ tutional righta and preogatlves to . Join wtth us tn condemning and re¬ pelling all un-American ItssauUs on our traditional policies and sacred Instttutlona. As evidence of our purpose we unanimously adopt the tollowing resolutions:
Reaolved:    That Clay County Re- -fiubltcans   pledge   their   united   and whole hearted support to the candi¬ dacy of Oov Frank O.  Lowden for the nomination for Preaident by the Repnblteatt National conventton. His long and diattsgulahed career in the I     aervlee of his State and Nation, his ^    exceptional ability and'dlatinction aa tbe War Oavemor of the great com- moQwealtb of the  State  of Illinota have   proven   hta  worth  and   great¬ ness.    He  hareipod  for the great things of oiir Ameriean inatttntiona X    and haa had mueh to do with thetr f  preservation and development In the ptabltc    eoneclence,  confidence , and ixeverence.    The aatumalla of graft iand corruption and favoritism which permeates  every  a'dmintatrative  de¬ partment   of  the    'Federal   Oovem- "   beat wilt require the moat drastic reforms  to eradicate.    The Augean stables could  not  be cleansed  with f   a tooth brush;  neither oan the cor- '    rnptlon and extravagant tnetftclency at Waahington  be    cured  by  high aoandtng    phrases,    nor    glittering ¦  hyperbole.    It -will  require a blud¬ geon or an axe tn tlie    hands of a determined Executive and an appli¬ cation  of the  moet    rigid  business principles  by  a  level   headed   busi¬ nesa man.    Such a man    Oovemor Lowd<in   has   proven   himself   to   be and his course as Chief Executive of the State gives promise of his action '    aa Chief Executive    of the Nation. Hia nomination  would apell victory and  his  election  would  inapire  the deference, the esteem and honor of '/   the whole world.
Reaolved:    That In the troublous
and trying tlmea and circnmatancea
daring and  following the most dls-
aatrona war tn all hlstoi;;?, the State
of Illinota  has  been  peculiarly for-
