Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1900-07-26

ing all classes of citizens with good
men as candidates.
Attorney, Carmody of Traill county
was the choice of both independents
and democrats for attorney general.
He is a well known lawyer, and has
the confidence of all who know him.
His ability is beyond question and he
assured the convention that he would
do his duty, if elected, without fear
or favor and with no regard for the re-
suits of the future. CarmOdy is said
to be satisfactory to the temperance
people and is regarded as very
strong nomination. The remaining
places we're filled by the delegates
from names proposed in open conven-
tion, No slate of any kind was to be
found. The ticket was regarded as a
clean strong ticket, with no candidate
for which explanations and excuses
had to be made. Mrs. Eisenheuth
was named again for school superin-
tendent to recognize the women vot-
ers Of the state.
The Stutsman county delegation
presented the names of Geo. Wright,
for railroad commissioner, but his
name was withdrawn. Capt. S. X.
McGinnis of Jamestown was presented
for secretary of state. BY some turn
in the proceedings, Williams OF Grand
Forks was named as an independent
candidate for the same office at the
same time and Capt. McGinnis there
upon withdrew his name. When it
came to I'LL the place of auditor, Mr..
McGinnis was nominated without op-
position for that place. MIR. Horn
was elected state committeeman to
represent the party of the county.
The democratic platform called at
tention to a number of things the re-
publicans have failed to do, and to
things they have done, not desired by
the voter. The platform talked right
out in the meeting. The convention
endorsed practically Judge Morgan of
Ramsey county for supreme judge and
a resolution was introduced and car
ried that in certain cases it was best
to take the judiciary out of politics.
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the independents:
Innoonrrt
ty Of the state OF North Dakota in
convention assembled, appeal to the
citizens of every party in the state to
unite with us in electing the state
ticket we this day place in nomination
regardless of whom such voter may
favor for president, and we do not con-
slider that such person by such act of
good citizenship commits himself to
our political views.
Second-We as a party favor the
national platform adopted in 1900 at
Sioux Falls.
Third-We favor the nomination OF
such persons for state officers, espec-
tally governor and attorney general,
whose past records are guarantees that
when in Office they will enforce all
state laws.
FOurth-W favor the initiative and
the referendum, which will ut all
times place our law making power
within the control of majority of all
the people on all subjects, and that
this be made broad enough to control
all nominations for office, and that all
United States senators be elected by a
direct vote of the people.
Fifth-We favor the taxation of all
classes of property according to the
same rule of actual value, regardless
of what class or specie it may belong
to.
The following are the resolutions
as adopted by the democrats at the
Grand Forks convention:
We, the democrats of North Dako-
ta, in convention assembled, hereby
renew our allegiance to those immor-
tai principles of human rights enum-
Grated by j Jetferson, defended by Jack
son and in their latest form incOrpo-
rated in the democratic platform of
1900. We announce our unqualified
of every principle embodied
in that platform.
