The Republican Assembly for
Clear Creek county met at the
council chamber last Saturday
and organized by the election of
H. L. Roberts as chairman and
H. T. Ham ill, secretary. The
temporary organization was made
the permanent one. On motion a
committee on resolutions was ap
pointed by the chair consisting of

and John W. Green and one on
the selection of delegates to the

mittee on resolutions reported the
following which were unanimously
adopted.
The Republicans of Clckr Creek j
County in convention assembled j
re-affirm their allegiance to the
principles of the Republican par
ty and again assert that we are
glad to meet the issue made by
the Democratic party of Free
Trade vs Protection.
That there may be n» mis
understanding we instruct our
delegations to the State and Con- i
gressional Conventions to do all
within their power to select Elect
ors who will cast their votes in
the Electoral College for William
11 . Taft for President.
We again call to the attention of
the miners, laborers, and mine
owners of Clear Creek County
that we are totally dependent upon
our mining industries for a living
and, while the “Crime of ’73
was deplorable in its time, yet
when our lead and zinc products
are placed upon the free list as has
aleady been done by the Demo
cratic Congress, and further
threatened by entire Democratic
success, that Crime will sink into
a misdemeanor.
