doubled; every three year old steer
was worth $40 head more now than
under democratic rule; every three
year old horse was worth $35 q head
more; even the values Of hogs, hens,
eggs, had doubled: wheat had advanc-
ed so pei. cent in price; corn had ad-
vanced so per cent, oats So per cent
and fax 65 per cent. The increase in
the value of cattle alone to the farmers
of North Dakota under republican rule
was $12,000,O0O. How did the farmers
and stock raisers get this increase?
They went to the polls in 1896 and
voted that they did not want any more
democratic rule. That is how they
got it. He did not see how any man
in the state could vote the democratic
ticket and then go home and look an
honest steer in the face. (laughter.)
Land had advanced in the state-in
this county-from 100 to 500 per cent.
In his county of Richland it had ad-
vanced $40 an acre on a million acres
of land. What made it advance? The
demand for the land. And what made
the demand? The increased prosperi-
ty under republican rule. No one
heard of any demand for land under
democratic rule But with added need
of products under republican presper-
ty there came the demand for more
land and the increased value. To
which party then, does the farmer owe
his allegiance? 's ~ p @''@
~ Contrast Of Platforms.
The speaker contrasted the platform
of the two parties. One. the republic
can, was positive. The democratic
platform was negative. He summar-
lied the whole situation when he said
that it was better to follow q good
man on a live horse headed for some
where than good man strapped to 3
dead horse, with the best Of intentions.
He paid a nice tribute to President
Roosevelt. He was emotional and i'm
pulsive but his emotions were always
good ones and his impulses on the
side Of right and Justice. p.
Duty Here at Home. -.
Coming down to the duty Of republi-
cans locally, he said that there was 9
duty dependent on every republican
and that. was loyalty to his party
ticket and help In maintaining tht
party organization. This national
republican party was made up Of count
less local Organizations, and to build
up the national party it was necessary
to support the local organization.
Every republican should strive day in
and day out for the support and sue
cess of his party nominees. The man
who is faithful and loyal will sooner
or later be recognized by his party as
a man of sterling worth and fitness
and the man who allows personality
or prejudice to swerve him from his
duty will fail of recognition for his
disloyalty. No man makes mistake
in standing by the nominees Of his
party. There was. United States
senator to be elected this winter. and
the candidate for the place must be
chosen by a republican caucus and it
was important that those districts de-
string a voice in the caucus choice be
represented by republicans who could
| participate in a republican caucus.
Majority must rule, and disappoint-
ments must exist in conventions. but
it was the duty of republicans to stand
by the will of the majority and be
! loyal to their party ticket.
In.closing Senator McCumber made
an eloquent appeal to young men who
were casting their first votes to be
loyal to republicanism. It would be
d gnu IAOu6At IL Lie IutuAc, LAaS
their first vote was cast for the party
representing progress and advance
ment.
Telegram from sarIes. '.t
At the close of Senator McCumber''s
address a telegram was read from
Hon. E. Y. Sarles, republican candi-
date for governor, who said: 81 sin
cerely regret my inability to attend
the meeting tonight. May complete
success result with the republican
ticket" 1ss T.,
