GOOD CAMPAIGN OPENING.

= GOOD CAMPAIGN OPENING.
The opening of the campaign in
Valley City, Monday night was an
enthusiastic demonstration and Hon.
George Drake Smith of St. Paul de-
livered one of the best addresses ever
heard in that city. His talk was
umentative, statistical and impress
sive, and contrasted the two great
parties with great benefit to the repub-
licans. In the opening, of state con-
ditions the speaker said:
"Just two years ago this time it was |
my privilege, being then new resi-
dent of the northwest, to occupy the
same platform with his excellency,
Gov. Frank White, and address the
people of this wonderful state on the
question of the reelection of Governor
White, and of the election of the other
republican nominees.
"F'or the record of the republican
party in North Dakota think that the
state can point with pride to the ad-
ministration of Frank White.
"Two years more of residence has
filled me full of enthusiasm for the
great northwest, and as have mingled.
with the citizens Of this state, I have
found North Dakotans to be so open
hearted, kindly disposed, and such
good citizens that I concluded what
little time could spend for the cause
Of the great republican party should
be spent in this state.
."Just about two years ago it was
my pleasure to make the acquaintance
of another genial North Dakotan, a
man who always meets you with a
pleasant smile and sparkling eyes, a
man of affairs and good business quail
flcations, man of strict integrity and
the next. governor of this state, e. Y.
Sarles. To him you are largely in
debted for this infection, and after he
has been inaugurated and taken the
executive chair at Bismarck next Jan
uary, those of you who desire any
position in his gift, or any favor, it
seems to me that all you will have to
do will be to say: Governor, you owe
this city a great debt of gratitude
You inflicted us with too much Smith
and you owe us something for the in
Fiction.
,.@.tE. Y. Sarles needs no encomiums
from you or me, but as his warm ad-
mirer, let me say to you, voters of
North Dakota: We want just such
men in Office and you have done your
state an honor in nominating him, as
I am sure his legion of friends from
other states will say and pledge you
that they thank you and will vouch
for his high standard among men
abroad as we'll as at home.
Coming to North Dakota at the age
of %, his has been wonderful life
Bringing in money from abroad to help
develop, building up, not pulling down.
1t is record to be proud of to have
done such large banking business
and never to have foreclosed a mort
gage: wonderful ability combined with
a good heart.
No man in your state is better
equipped for gubernatoria1 honors than
he; knowing your needs, wanting in
Z his own interest that which will do
you good,
~ predict one of the most successful
administrations of affairs North Dako-
ia ever had under Governor Sarles.
Il am here as a republican proud
Of my party, the party OF Lincoln and
Grant. Garfield and Harrison, McKin-
ley and Roosevelt; the party of action;
and in the name OF that party I beg
You vote for every man on its ticket
from top to bottom
5 4 The republican party never splits
hairs; don't vote any split tickets. .
