the state n other cities having public in
stltuti0ns have been treated fairly. Bis
marck has not. Its members of the legis-
lature have Q threatened at every ses.
sion with capitol removal unless they voted
so and so. The business OF the city has
been paralyzed by raids upon the capitol
and its business men driven into bank
ruptcy. Bismarck put up 100000 in cash
which went into this building, and is the
only city which has paid ANYTHING toward
the public buildings, and it is not just or
right to continue the state Of uncertainty
when has hung over the capitol matter.
Give us this measure and Bismarck will
prosper. Boarding houses will be erected
near the capitol and hotel accommodations
will be provided.

made prosperous, il their homes will be
happier and their lives brighter and better
