To the People of North Dakota to
Look After the Suffering Them
selves.
Where are you and what are you do

partnership with God Almighty-where
God has furnished the seed and the

the wealth of the world. while others
have sat on the fence waiting for the
harvest. to eat it at low price or steal

thing never heard of before in this

With every deadbeat and politician

Qulre,
WHERE IS THE GOVERNOR
of North DakOta. SD lately selected in
his wisdom and fitness to fill the high
est office in the state? Is he in with the
rest of the gang laying wires for
United States seHatorShip and so deeply
engroSsed with political advancement

North Dakota by majority of 1900,
and any farmer in the state was al
lowed to go from home tor aid. should
be in favor of removing him from office.
The people of Dakota, as people, are
as noble and generous hearted as the
same number anywhere on the EARTH.

The Bible says that ''like begets like"
There is no deviation from this law.
The present condition of things in Da-

result of certain principles and doc

with charity. Now let us describe an-
other chain.
