The committee on resolutions reported
4 We, the republicans of Pembina coun.
Ity, In conventions assembled, heartily en-
dorse;the platform ot the republican state
convention, as expressed in each plank,
and believe the policy and PRINCIPLES
therein enunciated should be rigidly an.
Piled to the enforcement of all laws in
force on the statute books of our state.
Resolved, that we pledge our candi-
dates, if elected. to enforce such meas
ures and work for their passage, as will
be for the general good of the state,
county and districts, and to that end we
request them to support such an amend
ment to the present divorce laws of the
state as will require all petitioners for di-
vorce in our courts, to possess the same
legal requirements as to residence, before
making their petition as electors, of the
state are required to possess before being
granted the right of franchise; and fur
ther, that proof of service of the sum-
mons on the opposite parties to such
suits, shall be so certain, that the presid-
ing Judge shall have no doubt that every
possible means has been exhausted to
secure personal service on nonresident
defendants.
We further pledge our legislators to
introduce or support such legislation as
will recognise and govern party
caucuses, conventions and other nomi-
mating bodies, as legal assemblies, to be
participated in by none but qualified vot-
ers of the respective parties, and to be
consistant in all things with the present
system of Australian ballot in force in
this state.
We also pledge our legislators to in
troduce or support such legislation as
will remedy the present fee and salary
system of county officers, making the
salaries of the offices equal to the fees.
with maximum limit of salary of So. 900.
and that no salaries or clerk hire be paid
in any county or state Office, for deputies
or clerks, except such persons as are
actually and necessarily engaged in the
work of said office.
