important, that every republican voter
in North Dakota cast his ballot for
Messrs. Spaldihg and Marshall and
support the president in the legislation
he proposes to deal with the various
questions coming up for settlement.
The republican state administration
deserves Endorsement. It has a cred
table record of good work done, econ
omy N public expenditures, and hon
est administration of public affairs i'll
all departments. The democratic
campaign is practically abandoned,
with the exception of the fight being
made ON Governor White. Mr.. Whites
opponent is Joseph E. Cronan, a hail
fellow we'll met, with Il smile and a
h~andshake for the voter, but who rep
resen@s no party in particular, no pei
icy. and who should not get a single
republican vote. Governor White was
OF the states volunteers in the
Philippine war. He has made a cred
table record both as soldier and pri-
vate citizen. The only criticism that
has been made of him is in the matter
of the railroad merger. AS the gov
ernor has already shown, this matter
is row in the courts for settlement.
The governor HAS pledged the voters
that Ito rights OF remedies of the peo-
pie have been abandoned, and what
ever steps it may be necessary to take
for the best interests of the people Of
the state will be taken by the COVER
nor. Governor White has been a con-
sistenr advocate of higher taxes for
railroads and at the last meeting OF
the state board of equalization was in
strumental in adding a valuation of a
thousand dollars a mile to railroad
property. Taxes of the corporations
have been quadrupled under republican
rule. ....
The republican nominees for state
offices are worthy and able men.
