election We express the highest APP
probation Of his record not only in con-
tinuing the great work OF President

of solving the new questions that have
confronted him, in his management of
the PHILIPPINE question, in his vigorous
demand for official purity and honesty
and punishment of the corrupt; in his
resolute stand against the closing of the
Chinese ports, in his courageous, uE-

Senators and Members of Congress and

hearty support and bespeak for him
that high degree Of success which his
industry and ability richly merit.

the present illogical method one which
provides for the nomination Of oil party
candidates by direct vote OF the mem
bers of the various parties, and We here

instruct our Members Of the Legislature;
and Senate to this end.

business like manner of conducting our
State affairs. We congratulate and

Legislature in having the Eigth Judic-
ial District formed and also for their
successful efforts in having L, j. Palda,
jr. who has proven an able and just
Judge, appointed to the bench of this
district.
We congratulate Ward county upon
having an exceptionally clean and able
set of County officers, to whose official,
personal and political records we point
with pride.
We congratulate Ward County upon
its material prosperity and upon receiv-
ing within its borders during the past
five years the best class of settlers that
ever came to the State of North Dakota.
Those people are honest, sober and in
dustrious and their energy is fast bring
ing wealth out of waste in Ward County
We ask the cooperation of those people
in our efforts for good government and
the making of the imperial County of
