RESOLUTIONS OF SYNOD.
Opposed to Election of Men to Office Know
to be Grossly Immoral.

At the recent meeting of the Presby-
terrain synod of North Dakota. held at
Langdon. some interest was manifested
over the possible action of the body re
gardlng the present campaign in North
Dakota. The Congregationalists passed
resolutions opposing the reelection Of
Governor Sarles, alleging immortality
and the action of the synod was antici-
pated with some interest. The follow
ing is the resolution adopted:
Whereas, the Divine Book teaches
US righteousness exalteth a nation and
sin is a reproach to any people, and
whereas it is the duty of the christian
church to take a firmer stand against
evil IN all forms and to Oppose corrup-
ton and immortality in high places as
well as low; We, the Synod of North
Dakota, hereby declare that we are
opposed to the election of men to high
ana responsible positions, who are gross
~ immoral and who are themselves VIC
lators of the laws of our state.
we also recommend that all our
ministers preach a sermon on good
citizenship on Sunday October 18th.

A COMPARISON OF PRINCIPLES.

The democratic party is before the
people, asking their support for the
ticket nominated at Minot August End,
and invites a comparison of their candi-
dates with the ticket named at the con-
ventlon in jamestown on July 18th. 1t
also invites a comparison of the declara-
lions of principles adopted by the Minot
convention with the ~eulogies of a few
men adopted at jamestown. Which of
the parties and principles in this cam
palgn appeal to the people more forcib-
ly and honestly on the issues of good
government and good citizenship? We
maintain that the state officials now in
power are not the servants of the people.
