most important and the greatest that
the state has to perform, that Of elect

have been presented here today. as
candidates for that Office and those
who will be presented to you. are all
worthy of the position to which they
aspire. They are all true, loyal citi-

They came here at an early date. and
have labored necessarily and untir-

monwealth They are true and tried
republicans. Last fall in our general
election it was the fortune of the re-
publican party to receive so large !:
majority as to place the state of North
Dakota in the column Of the strong
republican states of our country;
therefore it unquestionably devolves
upon us, as republican legislature,
to place in nomination and elect a
man who is true to the principles of
this party, a man who, if elected to
the United States senate, we can point
to and say, ''There is a man who is
true and tried, one in whom we be-
lieve. one whom we can trust, for his
integrity and character are above re-
proach. and as republican is unques-
toned"
Gentlemen, have in mind a young
man who came here among the first,
that started in this country when it's
prairies We're barren waste, and he
cast his lot with a people then strug-
Cling to found a new commonwealth.
His capital was good health good
habits and a willingness to do and
